thanks for the help, running it out of the directory worked out.

It was indeed a clean install copied over from my windows machine. I may have copied over a different copy mistakenly though now that i think about it. I'll go through and do another install when i get some free time but for now this works. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sure, no problem. Happy to help.

If this works no need to do a clean install just make a script to CD to the current working directory and you're good.

Example ::

#!/bin/sh
# start everquest
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/eq_p99 ; taskset -c 0 wine eqgame.exe patchme

Copy and paste that into a file called "eq.sh"

chmod +x eq.sh (wherever it is)

Now in your window manager of choice just create a launcher for it and you're good.

PS: If you're using GNOME or KDE I'd suggest turning off all 'Desktop Effects" - it really affects the performance. I run EQ in XFCE (F15 has a really good version/install of it .. just "yum groupinstall XFCE" to install it and at your login it will be available).

Just checking, have you obtained the custom DLL file required by wine like below?

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

This goes wherever you have your main Everquest directory.
