not sure what happened I think it was magic.

rebooted and opened wineq2 as admin and it worked.

maybe if anyone else is having this problem try that [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

see you in game!

Confirmed for me! Running as Administrator works! can't believe I didn't think of that. ITS ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

Also I didn't have to reboot. Just run as administrator.

First off, everyone needs to try running Wineq as an administrator. You may also (and should) set wineq to run as an admin all the time by simply right clicking the shortcut icon, going to properties and checking 'run as administrator' and then hitting ok.

If that doesn't work, please read the FAQ linked in my sig to find out how to run eqgame.exe without patching your eq client (this is very important - if any of you inadvertently ran Sony's patcher you will need to reinstall eq and NOT DO THAT!). most of you will likely need to set your CPU affinity to 1 so you only use one core, this is easy to do (thank you so much for typing this out, nilbog, as i've never had to do it for a program and wasn't 100% sure how. I will be adding this to the faq tonight/tomorrow!!), and if you have eqgame.exe set up properly it should look something like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme however, yours will obviously look a little bit different depending on where you have EQ installed.

If you do all this and start getting the 'error referenced at memory blahblah 00000000x12' type of thing when you are trying to run eq, the answer for that is in the FAQ. Realistically, you should really try everything in the FAQ *first* before you repost here with your results. The FAQ isn't 100% comprehensive (that's not even possible) but it is very useful and fixes most issues people have with EQ and p99. So once you've troubleshot through all that, please repost here with your results and we will work on fixing the issue.

Please include as much detail as possible when you repost. Thanks all!

I still had problems with the resolution settings on my win 8 machine after changing resolution to alot of different settings, but changing the windowed mode in the eqclient.ini filed fixed it for me.

changing windowedmode to true from false that is
WindowedMode=TRUE

win eq doesnt work for me tho however

same I used the path Nilbog gave me and I am able to play eq resolutions and graphics are different it seems but runs smoother if that makes sense, Wineq2 still does not work for me. but hey im able to play. thanks everyone for the support. Good we can all come together with info to help eachother out

When I try to make a shortcut and do C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start "" /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme as the target the command only options a terminal window and quickly closes it.

Me as well. I just did a fresh install to see if this would benefit me in any way. If i run with affinity 1, i use WinEQ with affinity 1 or i use the EQLauncher with affinity 1 the window instantly closes out. If i use multi-core affinity it loads, but of course i have the core issue and cannot play.

I did .../egame.exe patchme NOT .../eqgame.exe"patchme.


I tried it the way I seen it and it wouldn't work so I tampered around and just added a SPACE between "exe" and "patchme" with no """ lol

[Not_Kazowi]

anyone figured anything else out? Does wineq not work on windows 8? My wineq is opening an EQ program in the background but it isnt popping up on the desktop

[mtb tripper]

I never really used it much man
