I've had this same problem, it was working fine last night, but since then not only does it crash when I hit "play" but it also doesn't play the music when it starts either.
I tried reinstalling and playing around with my resolution (can't figure out how to make it windowed though). Was looking forward to revisiting my misspent youth, maybe it's a sign.. | ||

Install WinEQ 2.0, give that a try. It's legal here, endorsed, free, and fixes a lot of crash problems. I couldn't play here without it, not even get past the load screen.

You just install it then run winEQ. If you have EQ installed in the default location, than it's already configured; you just select EQ default from winEQ list. Also make sure you are not patching from live, and that you get the official p99 patch here.
Haven't run it under wine on my linux box, let alone a mac. But for the OP anyway, this will most likely fix the problem for Winder$, good chance of it anyway.

OP - what kind of crash are you getting? can you SS or provide an error message?

Can't speak for the OP but mine simply crashes when I hit "play", no error message, nothing. Just quits to desktop.
Tried WineEQ (followed the instructions from the other thread) and no luck, still crashes to desktop the moment I hit "Play" after choosing a server. I've played around with the resolutions, tried windowed and full screen, tried different servers, tried reinstalling, tried saving it to the default folder and a new one, nothing appears to work... Very odd. As noted it has worked already for me the other day when I first installed Project 1999. It also, as noted, doesn't play the music during start up. | ||

Does it work on other servers in the list? I had the oddest game-breaking bug for the longest time, still worked on other servers in the list, just not here after some early p99 patch. Only resolved when I got a newer/different computer. Though I'd get to character select, just not past that here. Yay for 10yo game clients compiled to run on XP..

Mine simply crashes aswell after i hit Play, no error msg or notthing.
I reinstalled the game, played around with the resolution, full screen. even updated my video card drivers.. and still the game just closes after i hit "play Game" in server selection screen. Program is allowed thrugh windows firewall, and virus program. Havent had any problems before, this problem started 2 days ago.. normally ican play just fine but notthin i do seems to fix it | ||

Yeah this was happening to me last night.
1. Type in password and get to server select screen. 2. Hit to play any server (not just the P99 servers). 3. Find yourself at your desktop with no trace that EQ was ever running [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Reinstalled just now and not even getting past the login screen (perma "Logging into the server, please wait" message). EDIT: Turned off firewall just now... same result :/ | ||
