HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac - Page 63

I spoke too soon; as soon as night fell, I couldn't see anything. Gamma in eqclient.ini resets itself to 20 upon login. Tried the Set Screen options in Wineskin and that's a no go either. The screen lightens to show what it will do, but it doesn't actually change when EQ loads at all.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I tried following these instructions and got pretty far. I can get onto the server, but my spell files are out of date. I used the latest files to update the older ones, but one particular file is making it so that the game can't even luanch. It is the "dsetup.dll" file. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

I had a previous version in wrapper that worked great. I updated to v53 and now can't get the program to launch. I even did a fresh install of the game files in a new wrapper and haven't gotten anywhere. Has anyone else had this issue and what helped? Thanks.

To everyone struggling, this was the only guide that worked for me on Mojave with the latest patch:

Yup, I followed this advice a while back (high sierra) when my wrapper died. Now I'm just using the latest wrapper and wineskin and everything works great [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I finally got my macbook pro (retina, mid 2012, mojave 10.14.2) to run the game, after MANY tinkering attempts with wineskin.
EULA and log in screens look normal, but when I get to character selection and loading the actual game zone, most of the graphics don't load. Characters seem to be fine, and the odd tree or door, but nothing more. Just basic background colour etc. Screen shot is taken INSIDE an inn! Any advice, please?

these are from a few posts back as a possible fix for a similar problem:

i meticulously copied the contents of v52 subfolders to the subfolders within the wineskin wrapper one folder at a time

only then did this finally work via macOS Mojave 10.16 supplemental 2

I have been able to log in, but all I see is the sky/rain, and no floor/walls - they are all grey. Anyone have a fix for this?

you need to install updates file by file. if you try to update by cnp entire directories they will overwrite, not just replace the new files. You are now missing files. re-install old titanium, then add the update at the file by file level, not at the directory level.

Nice spot! I know the got me once or twice. That issue also stopped a mate of mine from playing. He just couldn't understand what was happening. I think I'll make a guide about this soon... with pictures. It's a real issue!

Thank you pizzasuit! I had a feeling it had to be missing files, that's certainly what it looks like, but was sure i went into the directories and pasted only the files, not the folders. Must've made a mistake along the way. Hopefully if i make a duplicate wrapper the setting that work will remain and I can reinstall the game without the extra tweaking again.
