Just curious if you're able to play in fullscreen mode on M1 and Parallels?

Looking to get one of the Macbook Pro M1x ordered next week to replace (and return to Mac) my Surface Pro (which was stopgap purchase to replace my deaded MacBook Pro).

EQ runs like a boss on my lowest end i5 Surface in fullscreen, would hope for the same immersion of fullscreen if possible.

So far, so good on a M1 Pro MacBook Pro using Parallels on Windows 11 ARM. I get some "bad image" exception errors when loading in, but it still plays fine!

Parallels 17, windows 11 arm here as well. the pro is a 14inch, m1 max (10 core) 32g ram.

Able to get a p99 window up, able to log in and able to select a server. But then before character selection, I'm hit with a black screen and a new an error message saying that "An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction... not sure what's going on.

Did you run into any snags? Or did everything just work nicely for you?

So, I've been on a mission to get P99 working on my 2020 M1 Macbook Air with Big Sur 11.3...

Age-old problem using Wineskin. P99 WILL load to character select using the ORIGINAL dsetup.dll from the titanium disc. However, as previously stated in multiple places, the game tells me that my spell files are out of date. To clarify, I have copied in all v54 files EXCEPT dsetup.dll (for experimental purposes).

As soon as I copy the v54 dsetup.dll over.. Nothing. I see the processes in Activity Monitor and everything, eqgame.exe just wont initialize/render. My error log within Wineskin stays blank. I have tried every single "fix" mentioned via Winetricks, using different/old engines or even Wine Stable. Using older wine engines is not an option on M1, but tried them anyway. My only "progress" has been made with WS11WineCX20.0.4.

I know it's not supported, but it would be AMAZING if P99 devs could figure out what is causing this hitch. Willing to help test until I'm blue in the face.
