EQ won't open

[GrobbGangsta]

Running EQ on Mac/wineskin. Just ran a software update on my computer and now when I try to start up nothing happens. Thoughts?

To be more specific -

Now when I click on P99 icon to start EQ it seems to begin to run, i.e. Project 99 is running in my OS but nothing is happening, no window appears to enter into game, etc.

You might try editing the eqclient.ini and clearing out the VideoMode settings to see if for some reason the client is launching off the visible screen.

You can always copy the settings out and replace them if that doesn't work.

Still not working. Tried recopying the code from the EQ Mac guidelines on this forum into my eqclient.ini file. No dice.

Should I just completely wipe and re-install? Was working fine before software update

[GrobbGangsta]

Just completely wiped and reinstalled, still not working

i feel like this has to do with the program youre using to emulate windows....

could try using a differnet program, or updating the one you have.

try that out and let me know what happens.

So I run EQ via Wine in Ubuntu. Getting it set up, I installed a default install of Wine, then installed/copy&pasted my EQ folder into that wine install's C: drive. Then I edited the eqclient.ini per Cadoz' instructions from the running EQ under Linux. I believe you're update has managed to mess up your wine install somehow. I suggest creating a new (or delete the old and install a fresh) default wine install. Once wine is up, reinstall or move your EQ directory back into the fresh wine install. Then edit the eqclient.ini file and try logging in again (on top of any "getting started" steps that are required). I believe this is a Wine/Mac issue, not an EQ issue.
