thanks for the help, running it out of the directory worked out.

It was indeed a clean install copied over from my windows machine. I may have copied over a different copy mistakenly though now that i think about it. I'll go through and do another install when i get some free time but for now this works. Thanks for the quick reply.
Sure, no problem. Happy to help.

If this works no need to do a clean install just make a script to CD to the current working directory and you're good.

Example ::

#!/bin/sh
# start everquest
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/eq_p99 ; taskset -c 0 wine eqgame.exe patchme

Copy and paste that into a file called "eq.sh"

chmod +x eq.sh (wherever it is)

Now in your window manager of choice just create a launcher for it and you're good.

PS: If you're using GNOME or KDE I'd suggest turning off all 'Desktop Effects" - it really affects the performance. I run EQ in XFCE (F15 has a really good version/install of it .. just "yum groupinstall XFCE" to install it and at your login it will be available).
