[Guide] EQ under wine (Fedora LINUX 14+ 32 or 64bit)

[cadiz]

As an update, I've tested these RPM packages with a fresh, updated x86_64 Fedora 15 install (new thinkpad T420s with intel integrated video) and verified it works fine. If you have issues be sure to see the caveats section at the bottom.

Having an issue on Step 5.
After installing all x86_64 RPMs I run wine as my user and it says command not found.

I'm running Fedora 16 x86_64 on a Toshiba Satellite C655D.
I've Tried the x86_64 and noarch RPMs. No change.

I noticed that the prereq RPMs such as Liberation fonts were installed as noarch.
But Pulseaudio-libs was installed as x86_64.

Could the conflict have to do with the mashup of noarch and 64 rpms?

I just removed all Wine related RPMs so that 'rpm -qa | grep wine' has 0 results
Reinstalling from fresh RPMs now.

You need to also make sure you install the i386 RPMs as well if you're running 64bit. Wine will actually call the 32bit libraries for 32bit games like P99
and you need 32bit RPM's for compatibility reasons anyway.

If it's installed correctly a simple "which wine" should show the right path

-=>>which wine
/usr/bin/wine

Just an FYI: With wine-1.5.4 (on Linux Mint, which uses the Ubuntu wine packages), you no longer have to patch Wine. You DO have to run in Windowed Mode and turn off Vertex Shaders (VertexShaders=FALSE in eqclient.ini), but it works otherwise. For those of you who play on other servers as well, this also applies to newer clients (like UF).

Just a heads-up to anyone still playing (or wanting to play) on Linux. :-)

Is it Linux Mint 13 Maya? 32 or 64 bit distribution?

Hope your answer helps me and others get a solution working out of the box.

Thanks for the update on Linux Mint. Fedora 17 (latest release) version of wine is 1.5.2.
I will try it there and see if it works without patching.

Do you know if the right click 180 degree mouselook bug is still present?

was going to ask if anyone tried it for fedora 17 yet. I'm running latest fedora as well. Have been playing eq1 still on my windows but would like to switch over fully to my linux

Having an issue with the wget paste in step 2. Seems like it may be broken. Will try again later. Too tired right now to even focus.

Hey D3Vena, I noticed there was an unneeded space in the 64bit-only wget paste line.
Please try it again and it should work for you.
