I use this script to start my game client in wine
it has to be launched from within the eq directory
I call the script start and it contains the following line:
Code:
taskset -c 0 wine eqgame.exe patchme
This sets eqgame.exe to run on the first processor on a dual core system to avoid some of the nasty dual core bugs that are out there. Seems the client likes to run better on the single core. If you have a single core pc this will still work as it just binds it to cpu 0 which is the first and only cpu on your system.
If you want to dual box you can setup another copy of your client and change the line to this to have it run on the second core.
Code:
taskset -c 1 wine eqgame.exe patchme
Once you put his script into your EverQuest folder just cd to it and run it by typing
at the command line.
Note I have found that I always need to start EQ in windowed mode then alt+enter to full screen to have it work properly in wine. Then before I exit the game I make sure to switch back to windowed mode for the next start. Since it remembers your setting in the config file each time.
Good luck!
