Winetricks route is not what I suggest, does your qsynth config look like these screenshots https://github.com/ejhpas/Project199...er/Screenshots ?

Yes Elk, those are my exact specs.

What file in the EQ folder did you use? I didn't notice that steam copied the compatibility files in like it did for some other games that are steam games. I tried adding eqgame.exe in and adding patchme to the launch options. Prior, I tried adding that launcher bat instead. Both times, when I click Play, it just flashes quickly and does nothing. In both cases I told it to use proton 5.07 under its own menu of compatibility tools.

Not sure if you are still looking but i managed to get it working by:
1) Download and unpack the Proton 5.9 GE linked earlier from here
2) Create the folder 'compatibilitytools.d' in your $HOME/.steam/root folder.
3) Move the complete Proton GE folder you unpacked into this compatibilitytools.d folder.
4) Start steam and add a non steam game, select the eqgame.exe file from your Everquest folder.
5) You should be able to select Proton 5.9 for this game.
6) add the launch options to 'patchme'
7) Start the game. If it doesnt start i had to disable vulcan support (i have older graphics board) for the Proton to work. To do this you have to
a) in the folder containing Proton 5.9 copy the file "user_settings.sample.py" to "user_settings.py"
b) edit this file and enable the option 'Use OpenGL-based wine3d'

If not working, try running steam from command line and observe any errors.

There is one outstanding bug with WINE EQ. You cannot drag the mouse w/ mouselook past the ends of the screen. If you were going to use a modern quake-style control scheme, you will be disappointed.

Ive had this issue for a long time, but running under steam and proton seems to have solved this issue - such a relief (it was not related to nvidia cards).

i fixed this a long time ago by making a virtual desktop

[xaix1999]

im not sure why you would want to use proton to run eq since its meant for modern games
you are on linux and can use vulkan to display but instead you use opengl???
and for some reason you are using a proton version thats meant for other game patches that use directx 12
and other mods like faudio and esync which nothing about eq uses any of these

It was just a way to run if different and for me, it seems to be working a little better than plain wine.
I am not able to use vulcan due to my radeon driver.

Best

i am using the amdgpu driver, sounds like you are using the amdgpupro driver
vulkan can be used with mesa + amdgpu + dxvk

[xaix1999]

dxvk installed into your wine prefix will most likely use vulkan for you

Does this script work with a project 99 directory from a windows install?

Anyone have any issues with character animations? I have the game booting, sound fully working, joining servers and in general fully playing successfully, except every character is stuck in a standing position without moving, including corpses. Anyone run into anything like this? This is in Manjaro.
