Titanium and Wine
Has anyone had any luck since wine made it past 1.0?
I just tried installing the titanium client again and am still having the no model issue. I can get into the game fine and run around, set all my options and interact with the other "ghosts" in the world, just no models. It has to be a d3d.dll file that needs to be set as native or something? The only other issue I can see is that I need to play it in windowed mode otherwise the mouse gets trapped in the center of the screen and I can only move it in a small 2" x 2" box. Anyway I figured I would beat on this dead horse a bit more and if anyone cares to join me I would love some help to try to finally solve this one. |
I never had much luck with wine and titanium but Cedega runs it with no issues except for lag when in windowed mode.

gah cedega... I tried that once it was more of a headache than anything, and I could never get eq to work with it without the same no model issue. This was probably about 6 months ago or so, and my subscription ran out.
I see over at wineHQ they marked live as gold so I take it that that the newest version of EQ works fine in wine. Maybe I will give cedega cvs a shot, since I do not want to get into thier subscription thing again. Edit: scratch that I just read somewhere that cedega cvs has not been updated for quite a long time. |
vid card
mabey use a differnt vid card?? just a though

Your problem is your lack of an NVidia graphics card. Most likely you have an ATI, which, unfortunately, has the worst linux driver's in the goddamn world.

It is a laptop that has an nvidia card, I only use nvidia =)
laptop specs: CPU Type Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53G Screen 15.4" WSXGA+ Memory Size 4GB DDR2 Hard Disk 500GB - 2 (250G 7200RPM in Raid 0) Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS Video Memory 512MB DDR3 Running Gentoo Linux AMD64 version with Wine 1.1.10 and nvidia-drivers version 177.82 I am using xfce4 desktop with a user account set up just for gaming with compositing and desktop effects turned off. |
The wine website has a .dll you can DL to fix the model issue.
|
I tried that .dll right after I installed the game and it did not work. I belive that .dll is for the newer live client.
|
Dunno then, I use Cedega and it runs fine on mine.
|
I have a copy of crossover games maybe I will give that a shot before I jump into another cedega subscription. Wish I saved my old cedega binaries, however they never worked for my anyway. Must be newer versions.

I have Titanium working with wine, but I had to patch & recompile wine for it to work. From the bug report on the appdb page for EQ:

hmm I will have to give this a shot. Does it affect other games you have running under wine. I also run WoW and a few others. So I would want to make sure they still all work if I patched.

I've been fooling with this all afternoon, used to use Cedega, but really have no need for it other than to play EQ, and Cedega really doesn't support Everquest anymore - it just so happens they did at one time, so it still 'half-assed' works ( I never could get all the pixel shader-versions to work, and it was slow and choppy).
With Wine, I got all the way to the point where I get in the game but have no characters or NPCs. this link helped a lot too. I think my problem is the Eq Client does not see my Video card properly , as it as listed as 'Hal', which must be a 'filler' when nothing else is found. |
Crossover or Cedega
both can be found on the net if you'll look you'll find them 80)
i have used both on xandros and ubunto linux system and had no problems running eq on them . i liked cedega until i looked at my credit card and found out the billing wouldn't stop so i had to tell the bank i lost my credit card and wanted a new number problem solved 80) i have both the newest version of cedega and crossover pro version plus older versions as well. |
Are you currently playing titanium on the newer version of crossover?
I have crossover games 7.1.2 that I can try. Anything special you had to to do get it to work or just install and play? |
