Am I missing something obvious? Using Ubuntu, I've been able to get EQ installed, copied the most current (at this time) V41 files into the EQ directory. Deleted the listed files from the getting started guide. Set up the desktop wine icon with the script as directed in the first post. That all worked fine. I am able to launch the game, even get past login and to server selection. There, it tells me my spell files are out of date. I have copied the v41 files in again and relaunched the game, to the same result.

Everything I've read says this should be working, but I can't get past the spell files issue.

Check the case of the file names in the v41 files vs the ones you are replacing since Linux is case-sensitive.

For instance (I just picked a file at random) dsetup.dll will not replace dsetup.DLL and could cause problems if WINE/Ubuntu is looking for the latter.

I had the exact same problem. To be specific, there is 1 file in v41.zip that has the wrong casing: dsetup.dll should be DSETUP.dll

If you've followed all the other instructions, simply do:

mv DSETUP.dll DSETUP.dll.bak # alternatively, rm DSETUP.dll
ln -s dsetup.dll DSETUP.dll # symlink to correct case, to prevent conflicts in the future
