Running EQ under LINUX

[regatta]

Kobias that works thanks a lot.

[mgellan]

Finally got a chance to try this and no go - overriding wsock32.dll in winecnf still results in a DLL-1 error. Is this working for anyone else?

It worked for me with the alternate v13 files.

Adding a native override rule for wsocks32.dll fixed the problem for me, thanks so much Kobias for researching it.

I can't get this working.

Setup: Dell Vostro 200, Core 2 Duo, ATi 4250 card, propietary drivers, Ubuntu 11.04 32Bit.

I used a pre-installed Titanium version of Project1999, copied from Windows and the patched Wine deb from this thread.

After setting everything up, I got the application to run but it only shows shadows for the models. I tested going to another server (EZ-Server) and the Luclin Iksar models look OK, apart from the face, which is a shadow.

I tried setting all of

VertexShaders
20PixelShaders
14PixelShaders
1xPixelShaders
UseLitBatches
UseD3DTextureCompression
MipMapping
ShowDynamicLights

to 0 and it still didn't make a difference.

I only run it in Windowed mode.

The application also crashes whenever I minimise it and does not hide below other windows (the windowmanager decoration does, the game stays on top of the screen).

I would paste my whole configuration file but I'm at work.

Any suggestions? Project1999 is the only thing keeping me in Windows.

Thanks a lot in advance

You can try my settings below, there are some minimal changes you need that are not present in your example relating to shadows, etc and graphics settings you probably need.

[Defaults]
APVOptimizations=TRUE
DisableWestBugFix=1
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=0
20PixelShaders=0
14PixelShaders=0
1xPixelShaders=0
MultiPassLighting=FALSE
UseLitBatches=FALSE
WindowedMode=TRUE
TextureCache=FALSE
DoProperTinting=FALSE


[VideoMode]
Width=1600
Height=900
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
WindowedWidth=1600 <--- set to horizontal desktop resolution
WindowedHeight=850 <--- set to vertical desktop resolution (i subtract -50 pixels so I can see my taskbar in XFCE)

You can find my full eqclient.ini HERE. I use wine on Fedora with my guide here but the approach should be similar.

Are you using the custom DLL file? This fixes some additional glitches/crashes depending on your video card (from my guide)

====
7) Download and copy the modified DLL file which fixes the textures issue some people experience

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\everquest
wget http://funcamp.net/w/d3dx9_30.dll

Cadiz: I have tested your settings, separately and the whole file, no success.

I have tried using the overwritten URL and no luck either.

I now get really washed out colours on the background and still get shadows instead of textures.

After trying to run EQ on VirtualBox and getting the same result, I think that the issue is caused by my ATi drivers. I am going to try going back to my old nvidia card and the onboard one to test.

I'll let you know.

If I can't get it working, I will try installing CentOS 6, which should work with the Fedora packages.

It's really annoying as I am a sysadmin by trade, but Wine is the one thing I have NEVER managed to get working properly.

V14 patch is giving me Mr naked human saying that the spells file is out of date. Any ideas?

Same problem. Reapplied update and such, stuck with outdated spell file error at character select.
