Urgent Help!!

[Rainsford2004]

Friends.... business trip; 5 days; NEED P99 TO SURVIVE.

- I am taking my Mac Air M2.
- It used to run EQ Live just fine using Parallels Desktop w/ Win 11.

- But after installing a fresh copy of Titanium and placing the P99 files, I am erroring out. Both directly with the BAT file as well as trying to use WinEQ2.

- I can open EQ, log in, select my server, and right before the char screen, I get "illegal operation" errors.

- I am pretty confident it must be related to graphics, but I don't know.


Do I need a different VM app? I'll do anything! Please... PLEASE!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't know too much about Mac. It could be a hardware compatability issue. Running windows on Mac is still not a 1 to 1 setup. Have you tried setting compatability mode on eqgame.exe to windows xp?

You're thinking of Loramin, maybe? I'm a windows nut, not Mac.

That said - I think I've seen this particular thread before:

THANK YOU. I will try this as soon as I can and will report back for future travelers in sad search of some comfort when away from home [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm a windows guy, too, on my desktop. But one has to admit that Apple - already a proven craftsman of low-maint, rugged laptops - has now, through their M2 chip; 20+ hour battery life Air, exacted alchemy on the entire trade.

I use parallels. You may have already done so but have you tried the following steps?

• In your EQ folder find the eqgame.exe file. Right click it then select "show more options".
  
• Once there, select "properties". You’ll then see a few tabs, one of them will be "compatibility". Click "compatibility" then select the box to run compatibility mode, select Win XP (Service Pack 2) from the list.
  
• Next, select "change emulation settings" at the bottom of that same tab. A new screen will appear for ARM emulation settings.
  
• Select "Safe emulation" from the drop down menu.
  
• Click "ok" to save all those settings and then relaunch titanium.
