Everquest Titanium and Wine?

Is it possible to run the Titanium client under wine in linux?

edit: question was answered via IRC, need cedega.

Cedega is flakey right now also. EQT doesn't seem to like it very much... I had to actually install a dual boot to get it running...only have windows for EQ basically.

I use Everquest and Cedega fine and have been for years now - if anyone needs help in this area, just post what your problem is.

Needless to say, after getting over being pissed at my Mandriva 2007, I went back to it and resolved most of my issues. Mandriva 2007 is not that bad, just is very new and a lot of source programs don't compile easy and right away.

You should post Linux issues in the Linux forum though

The game client under Cedega is fairly stable in my experience. I've had a couple of instances where it crashed during zoning, all seemingly related to me not leaving the window in the foreground and even being on another desktop while it tried to start 3d rendering.

Your choice, though, ultimately. I don't play EQ so much as like to tinker with the source and test changes, for which Linux is just preferable to me.

I tried using wine today and I encountered two problems. (1) Everything was rendered upside-down. It was really hard to click on things because you still had to click where they should be on screen, only they were vertically mirrored. (2) My z-buffer was messed up. So the furthest objects were rendered in front of closer objects. All models had eyes popping out of their heads, teeth in front of their mouths. Water boxes were jumping at me and if I stopped moving the skybox is all I could see.

Some screenshots for fun, these are on KingMorts RA server:

As far as Cedega, I haven't tried it out but people are saying it doesn't run eq anymore... The woes of enjoying a game for too long, we're all supposed to be playing WoW you know.

If anyone has success running eq on Linux or Unix, please spill your juicy secrets.

I use Cedega to run EQ, it may not run Live client (not sure, I haven't tried) but our client works fine as it has been preserved over the Cedega builds. There is no trick, just use the newest version and run it. If you get texture problems (I did) just toggle the settings until you find something that looks right.
