HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[MikeXG]

Has anyone tried running native on 10.15 yet? I know its only out as public beta but should be officially out soon and my work is making us update. Guess I can parallels but rather just use wine

[Hideousclaw]

same, im still having issues on running wine on Mojave ad would prefer to keep wine and not use parallels. Anyone have luck? Walkthru?

BootCamp

[Broor]

Yeah Bootcamp did it for me too, but on my second attempt. This page has all the info you need, the links to free, legal Windows 10 from microsoft, and then just don't let the OS update or change your graphic drivers at all when it first boots up, that screwed up my first attempt. Also have a USB mouse handy for when you first boot up, or you'll be stuck, you can call up an onscreen keyboard until you boot up and add your wireless bluetooth mac stuff from the settings window. If you have an old piece of trash like me, you'll need to have a 16 GB usb drive sitting around to house the OS too. Good luck-

After a re-install of my MacBook Pro around half a year ago I could not get wineskin to work again (I had been playing for a long time using Wineskin). I tried a lot, new install of eq in the wrapper, updating the wrapper with recommendation from this thread, Vile's wrapper, etc. I then installed bootcamp and played there, but with the advent of green I decided to give it another go and to my surprise got it working on my Mojave installation. This is what I did:

1. Remove all old P99 wrappers, wine, wineskin etc.
2. Installed latest Wine stable (v.4.0.2)
3. Installed latest Wineskin Winery (v.1.7)
4. Created New Blank Wrapper in Wineskin Winery
5. Name it P99 or similar and install EQ Titanium using "Install Software" in Wineskin
6. After installing make sure to select the correct windows exe (will be eqgame.exe) (under "Advanced")
7. Add "patchme" to the exe-flags (under "Advanced")
8. Under "Screen options" deselect "Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D"
9. Under "Advanced" click tools and "Winetricks", under dlls click d3dx9 and under settings glsl=disabled (not sure if this is really necessary), but worked for me.
10. Under "fonts" (still in "Winetricks") click "corefonts", under settings click videomemorysize=2048. Then click "Run" to install these elements.
11. Apply latest patch from project1999 to the EQ folder
12. Create an eqclient.ini file in the Everquest directory and paste in:

[Defaults]
WindowedModeXOffset=1
WindowedModeYOffset=1
WindowedMode=TRUE
[VideoMode]
Width=1024
Height=768
WidthWindowed=1024
HeightWindowed=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0

13. Edit as needed for your screen-size.
14. I then had problems with wineskin not being able to run "dsetup.dll", but after I changed the engine used (under "Tools", "Change Engine Used") to "WS9Wine2.22" it worked like a charm.

Hope it can help getting you ready for Green!

Would it be possible to dropbox your wrapper, please?

[Nyme]

Yes will make a dropbox download of the wrapper. Will probably be up in the next few days
