Linux: Can't inspect items
Hi, I just installed EQ Project 1999 on Linux (Linux Mint with MATE as the UI)
It's running fine for the most part but I can't alt+click or right-click on items so there's no way for me to pull up the inspection window on an item. I know that ALT itself is working in-game as when I hold down ALT the labels for the spell gems come up. | ||

FWIW I'm on Linux Mint (Cinnamon, but I used to use MATE, maybe 6 months ago) ... and I don't have this issue.
The only (kinda) related thing I have noticed is that sometimes when I switch between EQ and something else, the ALT key gets sort of stuck, and I have to press it again to get it unstuck (but until I figure that out I'm like "why is pressing my #1 hotkey casting a spell"?). But that doesn't really help you. Maybe try playing with wincfg and switching to/from virtual desktop mode?

Is there any chance you have something else running that's intercepting the ALT key? I'd be curious to see: if you maybe try creating a new user, login is as them, and then try EQ, does it still happen?

With right click you have to hold it down on an item, in case you were right clicking and immediately letting go.
As for alt + left click, you could check if your setup of linux is using that bind for some window function or otherwise. It could be for window drag or something else. You may have to disable that in order to use it within EQ. I've never had that issue myself. | ||

Maybe I'm not launching the game correctly? I was following a tutorial found somewhere on project1999.com: #!/bin/bash export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/games/eq wine eqgame.exe patchme 2>/dev/null I remember when I was running windows there was also an issue with multi-core processors and you had to add something to make the process have an affinity for just one core, I don't recall what the issues were but it's something I've been curious about. This is a fresh install of Linux Mint, using Wine 6.0.3 | |||

Ah I think I'm on to something I noticed if I hold down alt and click (keeping mouse clicked) then it puts it into a window dragging mode. so it's something about MATE which is intercepting that combination specifically to drag windows around. I'll try to see if I can disable that.

Man I don't know what's wrong with this forum I've tried editing my last post like 3 times and each time it doesn't save so anyway here's the 4th time to try to follow up on this.
Okay yeah that was the issue where's what I did to fix it: Start menu -> Preferences -> Windows -> Movement Key: Change from "Alt" to the other option: Super (or "Windows logo") | ||
