I am trying to get the original Everquest up and running on the latest wine. I have it installed and the patcher runs just fine, and can launch into the game. However, from the character select screen on, the graphic screen is inverted (ie, upside down). Since this is the first time I have tried anything with wine, and literally I put the CD in, had wine install it and then ran it (OK, so I had to give it the file d9d9x_30.dll first). That is no options, just blindly started it. So, I assume that others have gone down this path, but I haven't seen recent postings about running Everquest. Maybe there are other options that I am supposed to be using that are not apparent for a wine newbie. Any one actually running this version (ie, EQ 1 not 2) on a regular basis? If it is pertinent, I am running this on kubuntu feisty fawn, with ATI x600 with the open source drivers, not running beryl at the time of running wine (using latest binary version 0.9.44) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry, but I just cannot resist this one ... It's like the issue might be hardware related, I'm not sure, but possibly turning your monitor upside down may fix the issue ... Again, I know this is not a real solution, but I couldn't resist ...

I don't have any problems with the newest release 0.9.45. I'm running Gentoo and proprietary NVidia drivers. I think the inverted screen issue may be a driver problem. I would try reinstalling your video drivers. Can you get any other 3D games to run under wine? or maybe opengl games? If it's just EQ, give me a copy of your eqclient.ini file and the settings you're using in winecfg. I will try to duplicate the problem on NVidia.
