Confirmed EQ works with crossover games

How did you get the .exe not to patch when you ran it through CrossOver?

you need to append "patchme" to the run options like you'd do with Windows or Linux (Wine) like you do with the shortcut.

I know thats what I need to do but I do not know how to do it. With CrossOver on Mac you never get then chance to see the "Everquest" shortcut icon because there is no wirtual desktop with a shortcut on it. When you install EQ it all goes in to a "bottle" and you just tell CrossOver to run that bottle and it opens the .exe for you.

You can open the program, which is in this bottle, in to a windows like file tree but when you get to the .exe file there is no way to add "patchme" anywhere. Like in windows you would right click and add patchme to the "target box" but when I right click on the eqgame.exe I only get the MacOS options and in these options I cannot find where I would add patchme.

I do have EQ running in a bootcamp windows partition but I would rather run it in Mac OS. I would appreciate if anyone could give me some instructions on how to make it not patch.
