Hello. I apologize if this isn't the proper place for my question.

I sent you a PM.

Followed all the directions. However, when I go and click on Project99, nothing loads. I'm able to force quit it, but nothing shows up. I've tried restarting the mac, but nothing.

Any ideas?

Edit: One mistake I made was I installed Titanium to the default directory that pops up the first time. However, I went back and used the /remove feature in Disc1, then reinstalled to C:\P99.

I am having an interesting problem on here. My EQ runs fine except when I turn with my mouse. I will turn like 180 degrees and it won't let me turn any further. Then I can turn the other direction 540 degrees and it hits a similar wall.

This is a long-standing bug in WINE. I've never been able to find a build that didn't exhibit this bug, but I've mostly gotten used to it.

Okay, thanks for the reply.

I wish we could box on this server, my Macbook Pro would make it super easy.

Hi. Mac user needs some help on Step 5 of Avatar's guide, where it says to Copy your EQEmu installation into the "drive_c" shortcut folder.

I don't have any install CD's. I play on EQMac for just shy of a year and got that by just going to Sony's Website and doing it that way.

Any suggestions where I need to copy files from on my computer?

You need a fresh install of Titanium. I PM'd you with instructions.

While I did help install the game on a mac, the user did most of it and I don't understand Macs. I don't read this thread.

Feel free to make a new post in the forum if you are not getting answers here.

I've PM'd a few of you regarding Titanium.

You need to install the most current Wine Engine. That solved this exact same problem for me. Also, update Wine itself, and update to the newest Winetricks before you use any. If you messed up starting over is really easy and recommended.

I'm pretty sure I did that. When I select the update wrapper function it alerts this message before asking if I want to force an update anyways.

"Your wrapper version matches the master wrapper version... no update needed. Do you want to force an update?"

Did you look at the numbers? Is there a later wrapper?

Not sure that it matters but I am running OSX 10.6.8.


Thanks. I will check the Wine site again to make sure I have the latest wrapper.
