[FIX CONFIRMED] macOS HighSierra + P99 Wineskin
 
Hey all, just a heads up,

I recently formatted my Mac, updated to HighSierra and reinstalled wineskin w/p99. However, HighSierra breaks Wineskin applications currently.

After some research I found this video of which fixes the issue with Wineskin on HighSierra, I can confirm that this fix does work (just did it myself).

Hope it helps!

Quick Step-by-step Guide based on the above video:

1) Right Click on your wine skin application and click 'Show package contents'
2) Click on 'Set Screen Options'
3) Uncheck the 'Auto Detect GPU info for Direct3D'
4) Click Done
5) Click on 'Advanced'
6) Click on the 'Tools' option
7) Click on 'Winetricks'
8) Click on 'Update Winetricks'
9) On the top, type 'video'
10) Expand the 'settings' list
11) Check the 'Tell wine your video card has 2048MB RAM' (regardless of the actual size of your card, it will conform to what is available, automatically)
12) Click 'Run'
13) Exit out of options and run application.

Going to test this out tonight and report my findings. Thank you!

So I get stuck on updating WineTricks.

Cannot Update!!

Connection to the website failed. The site is either down currently, or there is a problem with your internet connection.

Sucks. Gonna see if I can figure out how to manually update this portion.

Lulz~Sect 10-05-2017 07:44 PM

hmm so the media fire wine wrapper is not pointing to the correct location

Are you sure you want to update to the latest version of Winetricks?

The latest version from...
<!-- pageok --><!-- managed by puppet --><html><pre>pageok</pre></html>
will be downloaded and installed for this wrapper.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that, you can always re-install wineskin, just incase. Though I would keep a copy of the EQ folder within wineskin on the side, so you can reuse it.

Have you tried that, or is this version a brand new copy? I had to format so mine is definitely a new version of wineskin.

Lulz~Sect 10-06-2017 11:40 AM

Hmm, indeed. What I did was use the mediafire WineSkin link (from the other thread) and used my existing installation of EQ from a yearish or so ago.

Could you please hook me up with the link of the Wineskin version you downloaded? It's definitely a problem with that mediafire Wineskin version I used. I'd rather try a complete fresh install of WineSkin/EQ Titanium before attempting to Boot Camp or downgrade.

Thanks for replying!

I just tried this myself. After I told my settings to run at the 2048MB ram and clicked RUN, it told me "Your version of wine 1.9.17 is no longer supported upstream. You should upgrade to 2.x"

What engine are you currently using?


EDIT: Never mind, just ran the program and worked just fine for me! Thanks for the help dude!

Lulz~Sect 10-07-2017 02:24 AM

im trying to figure this out i think it's 2.62

*ok this updating wine wrapper shit over a fucked install isn't working

i think the answer is starting a clean wine wrapper install /w fresh titanium install from scratch and then doing the video memory winetricks workaround


a task for another day ��

I too am having trouble when trying to update wine tricks. Might just set up P99 on my windows partition until wine is fixed :-( if anyone else has a work around or easy fix for the wine tricks update - let me know :-)



EDIT: So, looks like simply turning the auto detect GPU option OFF is enough to get p99 working. I am not sure how stable it is. But the game has launched and I am in running around. I'll report back if there are any obvious issues with zoning or DC/app crashing. But otherwise simply turning off auto detect GPU seems to be enough. Happy hunting

So for those of you that upgraded to macOS High Sierra, here's what I did to get Project 1999 running on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch Early 2013).

First, obtain a Windows 7 x64 bit Professional full installation standalone .ISO, (you'll need a Windows license) NOT an OEM manufacturer Windows .ISO.

Follow this KB article VERBATIM:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468

Upon completion of the above article, run windows update otherwise your graphics card won't be detected by EQ.

I copied an existing installation folder of p1999 off my backup drive to the MacBook and then downloaded the latest Project 1999 files patch. *(Project 1999 Files (V45) <-- at time of this post
