Yes.. bootcamp works fine. This thread is about using it with wine.

Nice, thanks for this!

I just installed it following your instructions and it works great. I'm using a late-2006 iMac with the Radeon X1600 running 10.6.8. I had been running EQ under a Parallels VM, which is alright but this seems faster.

I did run into one issue: the stock fonts were horrible. I did some digging around, and was able to fix it:

- Open Wineskin, and go to the Tools tab
- Click the Winetricks button
- Under fonts, check the box for corefonts
- Click the Run button
- Once it's done downloading and installing, close Winetricks
- Click the "Kill Wineskin Processes" button and restart the P99 Wine wrapper

Now you should have the expected in-game fonts.

Hmmm, it seemed to be working perfectly, but once I tried to connect to the server it just froze. It's done it multiple times, any ideas to what I did wrong?

Working awesome for me:
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz 15"
4GB 667 ram
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
on OSX Lion 10.7.2

My only issue is the text of my ui is a bit ugly. Font issue, I'm sure. The normal text fonts for chat are just fine.

Thanks for the hard work!

Dave
EDIT:
Copied the fonts from c:\windows\fonts to the c drive shortcut\windows\fonts and the fonts are perfect for mobs and menus, etc. Any idea how to show exactly which font was needed? That was 635mb of fonts. :P

I have this setup, but the sky is black and the screen is really dark, also I am getting this odd flicker of the graphics. Any help with this? I am playing on a Macbook Pro with 330m graphics
