Cool p99 on Linux OS

Does anyone have experience with playing P99 on a Linux laptop? If so did you use PlayOnLinux, a Virtual Machine, dual-booting with Windows?

Any advice is appreciated [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I haven’t tried it with a laptop but I do have a PC running it using Wine on Debian. I had to use the “Linux” eqclient.ini version from the Wiki to keep it from crashing.

Playing right now on Linux. All it took was plain old WINE (and installing the latest graphics drivers).

Oh interesting, is WINE not for use exclusively on MACs. Which Linux OS? I'm on a Debian distro.

This laptop has no dedicated graphics card but has an integrated card and processor with good specs.

WINE was created on Linux first actually. I'm also on a Debian-based distro (Linux Mint, which is derived from Ubuntu, which is derived from Debian).

Also I have both on-board graphics and a separate graphics card, and EQ works with both (although obviously it performs better with the graphics card).

Interesting, I'll give it a go. Thanks

Debian and WINE then, could I ask where you got the Linux .ini file, and any other necessary files?

Not sure what you're referring to. I just use winecfg to configure it, but I'm not sure where it keeps any config files. Presumably in the standard place that apt-get adds them.

It’s not specific to Linux but it helped with crashing issues. Make a backup of the one you have then replace the text in the original with this:

PlayOnLinux works very well and as I remember, fairly easy to setup. Probably easier to set that up than trying to deal with Wine as an individual component.
