I had never used Wine before, nor P99, so it did take me quite some time to get things up a running. Mostly the issue I had was finding 32bit packages to support running WINEARCH=win32 on a 64bit machine. But once I saw the EQ installation screen, everything was pretty smooth. I run the middlemand script to filter the server list.
I was actually running EQ for a couple months before I realized the nvidia driver was not installed at all, by seeing heavy processor usage (Intel i7 4 core). The gameplay was pleasant, but installing the nvidia driver made it beautiful. I think the driver being used was Nouveau, which I think is disabled now through the nvidia configuration.
Still not set up correctly.
The GPU usage during idle, quiet area gameplay is 30-60% (Kunark and Velious are higher) and CPU usage of a single core is 40%-60%. I don't lag at all. In a raid, the GPU usage can stick around 100% (really bad lag when 100+ people are in zone), and the CPU core will be 60-100%. It only ever uses 1 core of CPU.
I'm not familiar with GPU modules...maybe something is disabled/enabled that if switched would help. Or a package is missing. I added d3dx9 dll, went through the solutions on WineHQ and Lutris including fiddling with the xinit configurations.
I want to get EQ to recognize the proper card. Or figure out how Wine is misidentifying it. WinEQ2 may help but I don't know how to set that up, I'll go back and try that some. Maybe update to wine-6.0, that must be pretty new.

edit: i bet I installed EQ with the noveau driver so all the code compiled for that. I need to update wine, reinstall eq with the correct driver. I'll report back
