Playing on a Mac: Full Screen?
Hello,
I'm interested in playing on my Mac. I've read that it won't run full screen. Can I adjust my resolution to my Mac screen, then? Or something near it? I'm on a 15" Retina MacBook Pro. On my prior MacBook I was able to run it at 1024x768 with no problems, but now with the retina one it just looks too small. Thanks. | ||

I run it fullscreen on a virtual machine. Should be doable, you just need to find the right resolutions.

No you do not need to run Under Wincrap. | ||

Sorry for being a thread necro, but I actually have a question about Resolution sizing for mac. I've got the 15inc macbook pro and i'd like my game to be played windowed at a bigger resolution than its currently at. Problem is i cannot figure out what file to open up to alter the res.
Can anyone help?

1 - Your OS's actual display resolution 2 - the eqclient.ini file mentioned above which modifies the login screen resolution 3 - The resolution setting accessed through the login screen (through Options) which sets the resolution of the loading screens 4 - in game resolution, either full or windowed. Fullscreen has a different set of resolution options than windowed. Whatever you use for EQ, the longest side can't exceed what your OS's resolution is, as far as I can tell. Here is what I have for all of these settings, running a virtual machine on a 13 inch retina mac: 1 - 1280 x 800 (for my virtual machine) 2 - "[VideoMode] WindowedWidth=800 WindowedHeight=480 Width=1280 Height=768 WidthWindowed=1280 HeightWindowed=768" 3 - 1280x768 4 - Fullscreen: 1280x768, can also do similar size windowed. I did have it windowed for a while but eventually resorted to putting it fullscreen on a second desktop. EQ runs at a different proportion than a mac monitor so stuff always ran off the edge for me. If anyone running wineskin can get fullscreen to work, it would be nice to get the data on that to go with mine.

I'm using wine skin. When I open my p99 folders in the wrapper and right click eqclient.ini, and select Open With, it only gives me the option to open with Terminal. How do I open it with text edit? Sorry for being a noob lol

If Text Edit doesn't like the file, I recommend Text Wrangler, which is a free text editing program for Mac that is typically used by programmers. It should be able to handle editing an *.ini file.

I run P99 through wine on my mac, and it runs full screen just fine. However, I find I prefer to run it in a window, just to switch around browser etc.

You don't have to run it full screen to make the window bigger - just edit the height/width in the eqclient.ini as above. Personally I preferred having it almost full screen so I could switch to the wiki pages to look at maps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
