Empty Server List on Arch Linux

[Heroquest]

Hello friends,

I am attempting to return to EQ...from many many moons ago. I no longer use Windows and only use Linux.

I have an updated Arch Linux system:

 : Arch Linux x86_64 
ThinkPad T430 
Kernel: 4.18.9
DE: Xfce & i3 
CPU: Intel i5-3320M (4) @ 3.300GHz 
GPU: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor 
Memory: 7798MiB

I installed the EQ Titanium 5 disk collection, following directions from here:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=2651

I have used this script:

#!/bin/sh
# if you don't have the script's cwd set, you get XML errors
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sony/EverQuest
# Bind to one core of the processor and launch.
# The client will spew a lot of errors, especially every time
# you target a mob, hence the stdout/stderr redirect.
# You probably want to leave off the 2>/dev/null until you're satisfied
# everything is working.
taskset -c 0 padsp wine eqgame.exe patchme 2>/dev/null

from Zallarenya.

I am able to boot into the client, I'm able to login using my username and password and to see the news and credits but I am unable to see or select any servers. Also there is no chat available in that client (not sure if there ever is) There are no servers at all visible.

The Only error I encouter in my terminal is

([ERROR])   - Mouse Wheel supported = TRUE

What i've done; I've:

-updated my system
-turned off iptables (firewall)
-rebooted
-reinstalled a few times
-Searched the FAQ here
-as well as searched duckduckgo searches which produced one relevant result, but ended fruitless. That link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999...y_server_list/
-I have also done a listing of all .ini files to see if one of them had the mouse settings (not that I *think* that this should be the culprit, but I wanted to check anyhow) but I cannot find a mouse setting in any of the .ini files.
-I have also tried loading the game with and without a mouse.

So, I am wondering what my next step is? I don't have a second system to install EQ on to see if I can get the server list.

I look forward to any help you might be able to offer.

Have a great evening/day!
