Yes.. bootcamp works fine. This thread is about using it with wine.

Nice, thanks for this!

I just installed it following your instructions and it works great. I'm using a late-2006 iMac with the Radeon X1600 running 10.6.8. I had been running EQ under a Parallels VM, which is alright but this seems faster.

I did run into one issue: the stock fonts were horrible. I did some digging around, and was able to fix it:

- Open Wineskin, and go to the Tools tab
- Click the Winetricks button
- Under fonts, check the box for corefonts
- Click the Run button
- Once it's done downloading and installing, close Winetricks
- Click the "Kill Wineskin Processes" button and restart the P99 Wine wrapper

Now you should have the expected in-game fonts.

Hmmm, it seemed to be working perfectly, but once I tried to connect to the server it just froze. It's done it multiple times, any ideas to what I did wrong?

Working awesome for me:
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz 15"
4GB 667 ram
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
on OSX Lion 10.7.2

My only issue is the text of my ui is a bit ugly. Font issue, I'm sure. The normal text fonts for chat are just fine.

Thanks for the hard work!

Dave
EDIT:
Copied the fonts from c:\windows\fonts to the c drive shortcut\windows\fonts and the fonts are perfect for mobs and menus, etc. Any idea how to show exactly which font was needed? That was 635mb of fonts. :P

Arialbi.TTF
Ariali.TTF
Comic.TTF
Comicbd.TTF
Georgia.TTF
Georgiab.TTF
Georgiai.TTF
Georgiaz.TTF

Hey works great for me, UI is sketchy, and also my sky is all black not sure what's the deal.. also controls are very different help!

I have this setup, but the sky is black and the screen is really dark, also I am getting this odd flicker of the graphics. Any help with this? I am playing on a Macbook Pro with 330m graphics
