I'd love to try and help you guys, but the power suppply in my Mac blew up a couple days ago and I'm waiting on a replacement.
In the meantime, though, I can tell you that most of the issues I've run into with the game not starting properly stemmed from windowed mode not being set correctly in eqclient.ini. For starters, open that file in a text editor and see that you have lines that look like this: Code:
WindowedMode=TRUE WidthWindowed=1024 HeightWindowed=768 WindowedWidth=1024 WindowedHeight=768 | ||

Hi everyone. Sorry I've not been around to help field questions. I had some RL issues come up that have kept me fairly restricted. I'll update the thread soon with a new version to download (with core fonts installed) and I will also update the compatibility list.
Special thanks to Phobus for being so helpful here! He seems to be much more knowledgeable on troubleshooting this stuff than I am anyway. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Okay, so I did some troubleshooting today to see if I could figure out why people were having problems on new installs. For some reason, when you run EQ for the first time under WINE, it doesn't create an eqclient.ini. Those of us who copied an existing install were unaffected, but anyone trying to do a fresh install crashed. It seems you can get started by creating a barebones eqclient.ini with only the following:
Code:
[Defaults] WindowedModeXOffset=1 WindowedModeYOffset=1 WindowedMode=TRUE [VideoMode] Width=1024 Height=768 WidthWindowed=1024 HeightWindowed=768 WindowedWidth=1024 WindowedHeight=768 FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32 FullscreenRefreshRate=0
That should get you into the game. I also suggest installing the updated textures from here as well as replacing the loading and login server screens with Classic versions from here. Of course, you can also install any custom UI you want. All you guys having issues with black screens, crashing on startup, etc. please try installing from scratch using these instructions and let us know the results. Good luck. =) | ||

Everything is running pretty good for me, except that the game (or Wine) will not trap my mouse cursor so when I mouse look, it only will work for so long until I it drags outside of the Wine window. I've tried sizing the window to the same size as my desktop resolution however it has no effect. I can't seem to find any Wineskin tweaks for this. Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem; I never actually see the mouse cursor, but it does stop me from panning in one direction after a while, as if the mouse cursor had reached the edge of the screen. I still have enough room to spin around a few times, so it's never really bothered me.
