are you in full screen mode? as i remember full screen makes mouse look super fast
i play in windowed mode, set it looks like full screen in the ini file, set mouse optimum for game in pd setting, mouse speed =0 in game, it should be normal speed
when i drag all 4 dll file, i dunno why mouse look is slightly faster than normal,
if only drag d3d9, no red tint and normal mouse look
in cpl.exe i did some setting in directx tab, something like changed it to geforce 9800 and tons of ram, remove watermark
lighting effect seems improved, cpu temp keeps at 58c, running around feel smooth as normal, feel so good now yay

I managed to mount the ISO files and install the titanium client using the Crossover program. When executing the wrapping file the client produces the error message; 'Connection Failure: Could not establish a connection.'

I think I'm encountering this error because Crossover is trying to launch the .exe file instead of the 'launch titanium.bat' on execution. This is as close as I've gotten and I don't know how I would go about changing Crossover to run a different startup path.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

i am having the same problem. I was fighting for hours to get this far. It's a nightmare to play on a Mac...

I used to play P1999 a couple of years ago on a windows machine... that was no problem at all.
Were you able to find a workaround for this?

You should be able to install EQ Titanium fine on Mac, but if you are on Catalina or newer, once you copy over the P99 client files, it will fail to start loading EQ. This is due to their DSETUP.dll file.

There currently is no "WINE" workaround if you are on Catalina or newer. Only option is something like Parallels. This is what im using, as virtualbox/vmware did not allow me to adjust the mouse the way I would like. If you are on an older mac, you can run eq via wine just fine.

I'm on parallels right now, but i can't get past this error:

EverQuest cannot load the zone file "load_obj.s3d" in the directory that you are currently running EverQuest from. The file is present but it may be corrupt. \n\nPlease either reinstall or delete and re-patch this file.

I've set it to windows xp sp2 compatibility, and set the emulation mode to safe emulation

I dont think the mac should matter, since as far as EQ is concerned, its a windows environment. Is the "load_obj.s3d" file in your directory. How are you starting the game. What does your shortcut properties look like?
