It works fine here with Wine for macOS, so it seems to be an issue with Wineskin

do we need to upgrade or downgrade wine or wineskin? What is your suggestion?

Just to confirm, you got Project 1999 working with the latest patch? (on a Mac)

To add, on the newest Mac OS? I'm pretty sure it's the new v49 "dsetup.dll" file. Wineskin will boot into the char screen when I use the v47 "DSETUP.dll" file but will say my spell files are outdated. When I use the v49 "dsetup.dll" Wineskin will not even open, it will try to open / hang / then close itself. The wineskin logs say "dsetup.dll" failed which in turns causing eqgame.exe to not launch.

Wine is for MacOS 10.8 (?) Or higher, i couldnt find a version online for MacOS 10.1

I can confirm that EQ works for me on patch 49 with Wine Stable 4.0.2. Graphics run smoothly, I can log in and camp out without client crashing.

Downloaded Wine from here:

https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html

If I had to guess why Wine Stable works and Wineskin doesn't, I'd bet Wineskin uses an older version of Wine which doesn't support whatever new stuff's in that DLL.

Just to add - if you previously used Wineskin and want to use Wine Stable instead, here are the exact steps:

1. Download the Wine Stable .pkg from the above link, and install
2. Click "Wine Stable" from Launcher. Approve all the permission pop-ups
3. In the terminal that pops up, navigate to the directory with your P99.app (or whatever you named the Wineskin app for EQ)
4. Go into P99.app, it's a directory. Inside, go to drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest
5. Run EQ with `wine eqgame.exe patchme`

You can make a shortcut icon if you figure out where Wine Stable put its executable, just with the command `<full path to wine> <full path to eqgame.exe> patchme`

Going to try wine stable tonight. I haven't updated anything yet. Erlko, this works regarless of the OS or do I have to update to Mojave? I think I am still using High Sierra.
