Yes, I’ve done two reinstalls. Still walking on thin air. If I pan the camera up, I can see the ground if it’s higher on the z axis than my character, so the ground textures are hidden somehow by the sky. I remember before the sky options were removed, turning off the simple or complex sky would reveal the ground.

Unfortunately I haven’t had time to try to fix it. Luckily i have a working install on a windows pc but would very much like to get my mac os laptop back to working condition.

A friend was having this same issue using Linux Mint 19.2; we concluded as mentioned previously when copying the patch files into your EverQuest directory make sure you copy the contents of each folder individually. If you don't, the entire folder itself is overwritten.
