Running EQ under LINUX

[ketzerei84]

I hate Ubuntu, and especially hate the GNOME desktop environment. I'm running OpenSUSE 13.1/KDE5.9 - and after copying over my previously existing EQEmu folder, I can't get wine to even acknowledge the existence of eqgame.exe, let alone let me modify the command line, despite the fact that it's right there, alongside my EVE online installation. Anybody running SUSE have some tips for me?

blank server select list >.< its not the router because soda is playing fine in the same room

eqhost.txt and eqclient.ini are both fine, even tried the 2 alternate eqhosts (login2 and leqemulator)

this is happening to me too. went from ubuntu 13.xx it was working just fine and now with linux mint 17 I have the blank server select screen. Same eq folder too.

*edit* figured my issue out. Had to:

install ATI drivers for linux found here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver (running Ubuntu 14 currently)

installed a fresh copy of Titanium with Wine, added 99 files and put it into the wine directory

winecfg>set to run on virtual desktop of same resolution as mine

(also worth mentioning: I have been able to run EQ successfully since selecting to "Emulate a Virtual Desktop" in the Graphics tab of Winecfg. After doing so I had to set the window to my screen's resolution, when I mistakenly set it to 1280x720 instead of 1280x768 (which is what my EQ window is set to) when I had 1280x720 in I got an XML error from EQ, so if you get an XML error check these settings (saw a couple others having this issue))

had some shortcut troubles for a couple minutes because I began with this guide and ended with another Deru posted on (woops), overall though pretty smooth once I figured all that out, also had to replace dsetup.dll with a renamed and capitalized DSETUP.dll from the v33 files (when it comes to Linux I learned that at least with files/overwriting it is case sensitive, good to know [You must be logged in to view images.

up and running now, big thanks to everyone in this thread, the Spell File Outdated Issue/dsetup.dll resolution, and Ruien's Guide to EQ under Linux.

I am totally new to project 99 as of this week, but I was an EQ player back in the day. I am now running on Linux Mint 17.2. it took a little bit to find a good install of EQ Titanium, and then I had to copy the .ini file to get the EQ play window to become visible. Then when I was finally able to log in I was getting the "spells file out of date" error in the char select screen. Turned out to be the case of the dsetup.dll file name that was the issue. I deleted the one that came with EQ and pasted in the one from p99v40. All is well now.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this thread and major thanks to the original poster. I am very excited to play classic EQ again. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm having the same problem. I'm also on Linux Mint 17, and I copied my (working) EverQuest folder from a Windows machine. It starts up fine, but the server select screen is blank. Anyone figure out a solution?

wine version 1.6.2-8

Having the exact same issue myself, can't seem to get it sorted. Other games running fine. Tried the eqclient.ini posted here to no avail. Using an EQ install I've copied into previous wine installations with no issue. No notable errors from wine to work off of.

Has anyone solved this issue for playing under Ubuntu + WINE? I am trying to get Project1999 running and I'm encountering the blank server list.

I'm looking at switching to a laptop for general computer usage, and for P99 does anyone have suggestion for linux/p99 friendly laptops?
