Hmm okay, well there goes that idea. Ill still try on some older versions of the OS but might just be a wine issue.

Has anyone had any luck with virtual machines? I often work on my mac while I play and bootcamp would hinder that.
I've tried running EQ in Wine under Linux w/ Virtualbox, but it was unplayably slow on my machine (mid-2015 Macbook Pro). My research seemed to indicate that Windows wouldn't run it any faster, at least under Virtualbox, given poor support for GPU virtualization. You may have better results with a more expensive option like a VMWare product.

I have never used P99 on VM, but I have a buddy on the server who uses Parallels and he says it works great. I ended up bootcamping Windows 10 as a temporary fix. Win 10 bootcamp on my mac air seems to run fine from my characters POV, but all mobs and players seem to be rubberbanding by like a 1/4 of a second, sorta annoying but it works. I sure hope the wineskin issues can be ironed out.
