What file in the EQ folder did you use? I didn't notice that steam copied the compatibility files in like it did for some other games that are steam games. I tried adding eqgame.exe in and adding patchme to the launch options. Prior, I tried adding that launcher bat instead. Both times, when I click Play, it just flashes quickly and does nothing. In both cases I told it to use proton 5.07 under its own menu of compatibility tools.

Not sure if you are still looking but i managed to get it working by:
1) Download and unpack the Proton 5.9 GE linked earlier
from here
2) Create the folder 'compatibilitytools.d' in your $HOME/.steam/root folder.
3) Move the complete Proton GE folder you unpacked into this compatibilitytools.d folder.
4) Start steam and add a non steam game, select the eqgame.exe file from your Everquest folder.
5) You should be able to select Proton 5.9 for this game.
6) add the launch options to 'patchme'
7) Start the game. If it doesnt start i had to disable vulcan support (i have older graphics board) for the Proton to work. To do this you have to
a) in the folder containing Proton 5.9 copy the file "user_settings.sample.py" to "user_settings.py"
b) edit this file and enable the option 'Use OpenGL-based wine3d'
If not working, try running steam from command line and observe any errors.

There is one outstanding bug with WINE EQ. You cannot drag the mouse w/ mouselook past the ends of the screen. If you were going to use a modern quake-style control scheme, you will be disappointed.

Ive had this issue for a long time, but running under steam and proton seems to have solved this issue - such a relief (it was not related to nvidia cards).
