works great for me, only issue is that all in-game lighting has a red tint to it. ultravision makes it less noticeable, but it's there all the time regardless. reminds me of oldschool infravision or the lighting effects in pofear.

I haven't played since getting my m1 because of this tint :/

Ahhh, it is that bad? Are you playing through Parallels?

Can someone just devise an easy way of me just downloading something and clicking it twice to play p99?

I tried but I’ve literally quit since then. Hopefully someone can figure out a solve

I bought Parallels for my macbook pro, can someone provide an easy step by step on what to do from here? Why isn't this thread stickied btw

this works flawlessly on my m1 airbook using parallels 16 + windows 10 ARM insider preview build, no dgvoodoo or wineq2 required

1) set windowedmode=true in eqclient.ini
2) set eqgame.exe to compatibility mode = XP SP2, and set arm emulation to 'safe emulation' mode
3) run eqgame.exe patchme
4) profit

I tried dozens of different combinations of compatibility settings, but what actually fixed my crashes on launch was setting WindowedMode=TRUE in eqclient.ini

ty, i'll try it this weekend, probably going to end up fired from my law firm after a month of play time but whatever.

I don't seem to have eqclient.ini in the install for some reason. I have installed Titanium and the P99 files.. what do?

[Boptop]

Okay, I managed to get most of the issues resolved. Only apparent problem remaining is how to get screen resolution to reset properly. I'm still stuck at 640 x 480.

Anddd I changed it in game, but the tabs, such as my health and spells are not readjusting to proper size.
