So my Mac knowledge is a little rusty, but on Windows/Linux you go to the icon you normally click on to start EQ, and right-click on it, and choose Properties. On Mac maybe you select it, then choose "Properties" from the Apple menu? Or something like that?

Once you do that you should see the actual command that icon runs. It will be something like "wine.exe eqgame.exe", but it may have more, or it might not have the ".exe" part.

Once you find that command copy it, then open the terminal application, paste the command in, and hit enter. Now you'll run the exact same thing you normally run to start EQ, but since it's at the command line you should see the output of running that command, and if there's an error it probably/hopefully/should be mentioned in that output.


P.S. One other thing you can try is using different Windows versions. Open up winecfg (either the normal way or by typing "winecfg" and enter at the command line). There should be a drop-down menu there somewhere that let's you pick which Windows version to use, and you can try different ones to see if any fix your problem. Also there are a few other options (mainly I'm thinking of "Emulate a virtual desktop") that you can try that also might/might not fix things.
