Is there any chance you have something else running that's intercepting the ALT key? I'd be curious to see: if you maybe try creating a new user, login is as them, and then try EQ, does it still happen?

With right click you have to hold it down on an item, in case you were right clicking and immediately letting go.

As for alt + left click, you could check if your setup of linux is using that bind for some window function or otherwise. It could be for window drag or something else. You may have to disable that in order to use it within EQ. I've never had that issue myself.

I don't think so, as I said the game is recognizing that I'm pressing alt, it's just that the combination alt+enter isn't working.

Maybe I'm not launching the game correctly? I was following a tutorial found somewhere on project1999.com:

#!/bin/bash
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/games/eq
wine eqgame.exe patchme 2>/dev/null

I remember when I was running windows there was also an issue with multi-core processors and you had to add something to make the process have an affinity for just one core, I don't recall what the issues were but it's something I've been curious about.

This is a fresh install of Linux Mint, using Wine 6.0.3
