There's generally three things you can play with on Linux

1. winecfg: run it and enable/disable the checkboxes for Emulate a Virtual Desktop; if that doesn't help, try enabling/disabling the two "windows controls" checkboxes next to it
   
2. drivers (on Linux Mint use the Driver Manager in menu): switch to different versions of your graphics card driver (eg. proprietary instead of open source, or vice versa, or just slightly newer/older versions of each)
   
3. wine itself: try playing with slightly different versions of Wine (eg. staging vs. development)

It's all a lot more of a guessing game than an exact science. Good luck.

Hello there. I recently created a shell script to install Project1999 on Linux, specifically tested on Linux Mint. All you need is a torrent client, the rest is done for you.

A friend was tired of manually setting everything up on new machines. I did a little digging on the P99 on Linux wiki and threw together a small script. It should work on any Debian based distribution, but if you are using another distribution you can just install the required packages manually before running the script.

I'll add other distribution support in the future. Script was thrown together quickly and is a little rough, feel free to change it as you please.

I get a 404 when clicking on that link.

Looks neat. You might want to add a link to your GitHub page to https://wiki.project1999.com/EverQuest_in_Linux_Guide (your GitHub page already links to it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

I’ll answer it myself. It can be found at GitLab

Ahh figured it out, was missing a couple packages like mono and gecko or whatever. Litrus detected that right away when I installed it and it checked my wine directory

Hello everyone, Elias here and author of the original script.
The Project1999 For Linux installation script has been upgraded and is a bit more robust/clean at this point.
The updated version can be found here: https://github.com/ejhpas/Project1999-For-Linux
Please check the Readme before running the script.

Still a lot of work to be done, but it is much better than it's previous state.
Feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Thank you Elboot for compiling that, it was very helpful! I do have one issue and that's with the sound. After following your video to the T as well as what you wrote about changing it within the winetricks program I still cannot get sound to work on my Linux Mint. I got this error in terminal:

"ALSA lib conf.c:3722[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: libasound_module_conf_pulse.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

0009:err:winediag:MIDIMAP_drvOpen No software synthesizer midi port found, Midi sound output probably won't work."

Would appreciate any help!

Winetricks route is not what I suggest, does your qsynth config look like these screenshots https://github.com/ejhpas/Project199...er/Screenshots ?
