Oh! Yes, you should be using the 32 bit version of wine. Here is what I would recommend doing:

• Install 32bit wine
• Find out what packages you are using for video drivers and install the 32bit version of that as well
• Setup your wine32 prefix. You can do so in a terminal with a command like the following: WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
• Copy your P99 everquest directory to $HOME/wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/, or your preferred path within the WINEPREFIX.
• I would then try to launch the game from a terminal. cd to the path within your 32bit WINEPREFIX where the EQ directory resides. Once there, P99 should be able to launch with this command: WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" WINEARCH=win32 wine eqgame.exe patchme

Edit: The 32bit versions of these packages (video drivers, wine) should have no problem being installed alongside the 64bit versions, so don't feel like you need to remove a bunch of things, especially the 64bit video drivers

made a 32bit version of wine and ran commands, STILL didn't fix the issue for some reason. here's a log of what happened. https://pastebin.com/UcgSZQbK
i'm using the most up to date AMD drivers, i don't know where i can get installs of the 32 bit versions. perhaps i can use some sort of dll overrides to fix the issue? it's weird overall as i'd expect the latest most up to date version of my distro and wine should theoretically run this all out of the box.

Hmm. Could be worth a try overriding d3dx9 with winetricks. I do this on my setup, but can't remember if its required. See https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks for installing, or linux mint might have it available with apt.

Either way, building off of the previous post, try something like:

• WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine32" winetricks d3dx9

Also, what is the output of this command:

• dpkg -l | grep -i mesa

Things i did to help replicate for you

1. Moved my EQ install to that directory
2. Opened folder in terminal
3. launched via WINEARCH=win32 wine eqgame.exe patchme

Launched it and it issue is still present. maybe i should try adding

winetricks d3dx9

as an argument when launching after the "patchme" ? forgive me inexperience i am not too good with linux
