I tried the wine stable process, and it just goes to a white screen (about the size of EQ in windowed mode through wineskin). The white screen just hangs and wont let any other window or program display over it. An EQ icon appears at the bottom and is titled "wine pre-loader"

Are you running eqgame.exe with the "patchme" modifier?

[Lusick]

Yes. However, Im not sure I'm doing it right, as I do not know how to navigate to eqgame through wine. Im just dragging the icon into the terminal, which adds the entire file path, then adding patchme after. I sent you a PM if you wouldn't mind walking me through it.

No need for PMs, other people may have this issue as well.

Navigate to your EQ directory in Finder, find the eqgame.exe file.

When you run WineStable it opens a terminal window, correct?

In terminal, type "cd" then drag the eqgame.exe file from Finder into terminal. Press enter.

Then type wine (space) then drag eqgame.exe again, then space, then patchme. Then enter.

Yea, that’s what I’m doing. Getting hung up at pre-loader.

You're cd'ing into the directory first?

[Lusick]

Ok, wasn't cd'ing it, but that yields the same result. In the terminal, after cd'ing, it shows the file path and says "not a directory" with a space after cd. Without a space I get "no such file or directory"

sorry, for CD, you need to remove /eqgame.exe from the end. Just CD to the directory.

When I try to install Wine stable it says I need XQuarts 2.7 or higher first?

I must’ve had it installed already, or I’d have included it as a step. Apologies.

XQuartz lets Wine use Linux-style window management:

that worked! now how do I create a direct icon to it?
