Editing for Victory - I had two dsetup.dll files within the folder, one full caps, the other full lower. I had deleted the lowercase file, which turned out to be the file that I needed in all caps. Not sure where the old dsetup file had come from. Perhaps left behind rather than being overwritten.

Any who, I've got characters to load. Now I’ll try to hop into the game.

Thank you again for your assistance with the issue. Very much appreciated.

Anyone know if there is a trick for getting better performance?

On a Intel I7-3520M, Intel HD Graphics 4000 (thinkpad x230)

Wine is okay (like everything works) but big zones frames start dropping (most likely due to thermal throttling) and eq only runs on one core :/ grinding it to 100% pretty frequently and my laptop gets REALLY hot (usually point a little fan at it to keep the temp below 90c)

Sitting in velks right now i'm at 77c :p

Am I just not going to ever get decent performance with this hardware or is there some tricks?

Try setting the max fps to like 80?

I dropped the max fps to 50 and turned off some of the stuff like shadows. Haven't been in one of the really bad zones like skyfire yet but it seems to have made things less horrible.

I wasn't able to see all the settings in the advanced window for some reason - looks like the window is too small and is cutting off the other stuff. Is there a way to make that window bigger? (easier to change there than the ini)

Still doesn't solve the using all of one core problem. I seem to recall reading a while back that one of the major issues with titanium was it only ran single core (this was a big issue on boxing servers like PEQ where you might be running 20+ clients)

Seems crazy to me that a i7 (albeit mobile) and a intel4000 struggle so hard - wine isn't THAT shitty. Especially considering 10 years ago I was boxing 6 on a t60p (under windows)

Installation Problems

I'm using Linux Mint. I installed Wine and am trying to install the game from CD, but Wine does not automatically open the file. It opens with Archive Manager instead. When I try to run setup.exe off of the first CD manually, I get an error:

Code:

Error Code:        -5009 : 0x80004002

Does anyone know what's going on here or how I could fix it?

Hey there,

Are you mounting the iso or somehow navigating into it directly? If you're using a file explorer and are trying to install without first unpacking, that's not good. I recommend mounting the ISO somewhere (/mnt works), bringing up a terminal, descending into /mnt and run the setup.exe with wine explicitly: "wine ./setup.exe"

Beyond that, if you're still having trouble, just give us lots of info and we'll keep trying. Think of everything you've done and try to tell us chronologically.

I'm mounting the ISO first. I tried by right clicking the ISO > Open With > Disk Image Mounter, and by typing "sudo mount file.iso /mnt/cd1" into the terminal.

It mounts fine, but when I run "wine ./setup.exe", I start getting errors in the terminal right away:

EverQuest Titanium - InstallShield Wizard opens and the progress bar goes almost all the way to full, then stops. That's when I get the error I posted above. Not sure if something is wrong with my Wine setup, but "winecfg" opens and plays sounds..

I wonder if my Wine version has something to do with the errors... I'm using wine-3.0 (Ubuntu 3.0-1ubuntu1). I installed it from "apt install wine-stable". I also installed wine64 from Synaptic, since I read something about doing that on 64-bit machines.

You may have just found the problem. You actually need wine32 to run this application. Try:

sudo apt-get install wine32

And after it's mounted

wine32 ./setup.exe
