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 There, it tells me my spell files are out of date.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. | ||

Case-sensitive file names
Quote:
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 | |||

Every year I try and get linux running and every year its the same thing, 90% of what I need a computer for will run under it, but that 10% I just cant live without. Well this year I tried Ubuntu 16.04 and wiz bang boom bop, windows is finally history for the dude.
No muss no fuss, install wine, copied eq, turned off some eq.ini's, and I was playing eq like it was 1999 all over again. Thanks for the guide you guys all rock!

Fullscreen
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread, I used these instructions under 16.04 with relative ease. The only issue I had(aside from those already listed) was trying to go fullscreen. The game plays fine in windowed mode but anytime I try fullscreen I get an instant crash of wine. Running an Nvidia card, anyone have any info on this issue? Thanks again.

I actually have the same issue going full screen. It crashes out. I also find that it is running ridiculously slow in windowed mode. Unplayable really.
I have installed it, updated to v43 files (which had the correct DSETUP file) and verified that my comp is running off my NVIDIA chipset, not the onboard intel stuff. I guess my next step is to play around with drivers and see if that helps. Anyone have any thoughts? I have a 660m NVIDIA Geforce with the NVIDIA 367.57 recommended drivers going. | ||

Little update on this. I tried editing the eqclient.ini file and found a sort of work around. I might actually like this better.
I tried changing the fullscreen refresh rate to 60 per instructions in another thread. They said it worked for them, it did not work for me. After that failed I changed the width and height under video settings: [VideoMode] Width=1920 (this used to be 1600) Height=1080 (this used to be 900) FullscreenRefreshRate=60 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 WindowedWidth=1600 WindowedHeight=850 when I changed the above values I was able to select 1920x1080 from screen resolutions and things it seems to run smoother and it's basically full screen without being fullscreen. The other positive is all the UI elements are smaller, taking up less space. I like it. | ||

Tried to edit but time was up...
Actually when I try to make this fullscreen now it mostly works. The bar on top goes away and the space where the Linux taskbar is normally on the bottom of the screen show a sliver of my desktop. Good enough I guess. (LINUX mint 18 cinnamon and wine 1.8.5) Will keep toying with the ini and see if I can get any better results. | ||
