You don't need to crack it, the freeware version is just fine for limiting FPS. Just click the advanced tab, check limit video fps box, and put a value in. 60 works fine for me. Once you set it up just minimize it, doesn't seem to use much in the way of resources at all.


I run avast antivirus and all I do is right-click the avast icon and disable all shields until reboot. When I'm done playing EQ I just reboot my computer and then everything is back to normal.

i was losing my sock.exe until I made my antivirus stop scanning that folder.
I use avast as well and instead of the disable until next boot up, i went to the protector shields and clicked into settings i think it was and added c/eqmac as an ignore file. haven't had any issue.

I got this working. Looks great and I really like it. Seems to be people everywere.

Downside no zoom out to have the camera behind your toon. Upside no problems with end game.

Zoom works, its clunky, you have to use insert/delete. Once you set it then its fine. You can change the angle by holding in the mouse button once you get the distance set.

Thats cool. I am used to just turning off my virus protection when playing video games though. Old habit. Virus programs have always interfered with games pretty much as long as there have been virus scanners. Games run smoother without the scans running in the background hogging resources.

Hello,
I read as many pages as I could till my eyes crossed. Is the titanium pack required for this. I have some of the older discs, but dont think I have that set for this install.
thanks

another version might work, but I think most people here use the titanium edition.

just google eq titanium edition for ways and means to obtain a copy of it.

You are basically over-writing all the files with the mac intel client anyway. You most likely do not need the titanium client. I'm not sure though there may be a few pc files not contained in "secrets patch" that are required to run.

I have the anniversary edition that includes all expansions up to tbs handy. Think that would work?

thanks

I like how this server has a lot of things working right that just don't seem to work all that well here. Iksar regen seems to work better (better meaning well meaning I don't notice it much in P99 but notice it a lot on EQMac) and the pathing/mob behavior is 10 fold better.

EQMac won't be around forever though. I really hope that it is used as a tool to get a better-working classic emulated server because something like P99 can be sustained for a long time given a big enough community.

I forget how much I miss PoP raids and even a lot of Velious content (my fave expansion and my 2nd favorite for raids specifically behind PoP). I wish I had some skills to help here at P99. Would be awesome to have a truly classic experience with correct pathing and such. P99 is close but still a bit away. Try EQMac and you'll notice the difference in feel.
