YAY Progress!!! So I was tinkering around and when I added eqgame.exe it said "Not a Directory" so I put took away eqgame.exe and left the / at the end and it worked! WINE attempted to boot the game and I got this WINE dialogue box:

""The program eqgame.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in the program or deficiency in Wine. You may want to check http://appdb.winehq.org for tips about running this application.

If this problem is not present under Windows and has not been reported yet, you can report it at http://bugs.winehq.org,""

Is this the message people were getting that led to the previous Linux guides where the directx files needed to be edited?

the directx.c edit has more to do with character models than avoiding a fatal crash, but you could give it a shot (takes literally 2 hours to compile tho). I've ran it both with and without compiling wine from source, but have had my own unresolved issues as well.

If you, instead of clicking the script, just open a terminal and copy/paste the 2 commands into it, you should be able to paste the logs of wine's output (it won't like auto-close the terminal when it crashes... or at least shouldnt !) and then it'll be easier to diagnose where its going haywire.

Oh geez. Yeah that's a hell of alot easier than timing a perfect screenshot, LOL. So here is what I got:

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xfffffffc at address 0x1000f0ce (thread 0009), starting debugger...

After I clicked "close program" a lot more popped up in the terminal from the debugging:

Code:

I also tried changing the code to:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cd "/home/alex/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest/"

taskset -c 0x1 wine eqgame.exe patchme

But got the exact same error read-out from the terminal. So i'm thinking it has to do with the WINE build since the error is showing the retrace and return keywords that I remember from reading the linux guide for compiling WINE. You said it takes like 2 hours?

Found some people with the same issues, but no clue if/how they resolved them...

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine...il/027033.html
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...TestingId=1215

My best guess at this point is bad gfx driver or bad install (of either wine or EQ) =X

I'm not really qualified to decipher the output or know anyone who is though! Maybe the Wine IRC channel or something man idk

Alright. Well thanks man. Still a big help, learning how to create a shell script shortcut on the desktop! That was kicking my but just trying to get the game to launch and not patch! Lol. It looks like its a problem with the graphics in WINE. I'm going to try editing the DLL they talk about in the main Linux guide.

Again, thanks for helping me get at least a little bit further. :D

Do you think maybe I just need to install a windows graphics driver with WINE?

Meh. I'm trying an alternative route. I'm going to see if I can get it running in a Win7 Virtual Box. My computer is quite powerful enough to run both OS's simultaneously, and it's an older game that uses less GPU resources anyhow. So I think it's a simpler route. Besides, now one of my additional 4 HDD's actually has a purpose. Lol.

Appreciate all the help guys. If all else fails I will just run P1999 on my old computer (win 7 OS). Cause there's no way i'm moving away from Linux on my new computer. :D

I've heard that Virtual Box virtual drivers are pretty lame and make gaming under Virtual Box difficult.

How did that work out for you? Does it run fine?
