that's a PC thing right?

Yes, and I really don't understand the mac stuff. I know it becomes an "application" that you run.

Thanks for your help. I made the alias. But I get the same thing. It's starting to appear that to play this game you need to be have either programing or code skills to be able to make things work properly. Though I certainly don't mind learning new things, I don't really have the time to spend multiple hours every few weeks trying to fix things that don't work or that have now become broken.

I had to learn how to access and adjust few files in EQ Mac but it was very straight forward and once learned, dependable. This much constant work kind of feels like an elitist-tech persons game and I barely have enough time to play EQ as it is. Maybe if the installation process eventually becomes more standardized and dependable I can join in but I've seriously spent many, many hours this last week just trying to get the game working with no success.

Maybe I'll just take a break and see if it makes more sense later.


Thanks for all your help.

If you only knew this community, like I know this community.

I know you're frustrated, and I've been there. That is why I attempt to help in this forum.

I know we'll get you in the game soon. You won't have frequent trouble. Occasionally weird things happen, but it's not usually to everyone and we try to figure it out together so we can all enjoy the server.

And I didn't meant that in a derogatory manner. I just meant that having a firm knowledge on code and game mechanics seems necessary. I really want to be able to play. I guess posting my wine error logs might help may help.


Thx

I decided to move this into the EQ Mac forum where it belongs. I just posted my Wine run logs and a few shots of my Wine windows for verification.

Thanks

or this...but we couldn't get the bat file to work last night...so I dunno

Rogean's shortcut won't work on Macs because it's a .bat file. PC's only.
