[Wine] Running EQ2 under Wine locks my system... anyone else?
I'm trying to make a return to getting Everquest2 running under Wine, but I'm hampered at the moment by the fact that it hard-locks my system when it gets to the "Adding player to world..." stage. A few months back it would get this far and crash but now it absolutely locks up, mouse still moves but cannot click, other windows on screen (such as the one with "top" running freeze, keyboard is dead, can't ctrl-alt-backspace, in fact even the numlock light is stuck on - the only thing I can do is reboot. I'm running the latest GIT source compiled on my box running the latest Ubuntu Feisty with the latest drivers from ATI for my X1600. Other (linux native) 3D apps work fine, such as supertux cart etc. Can anyone else confirm this happens with EQ2? -- Chris

I am not expert in this but it seems that game requires at least Shader Model 3 which is yet to be implemented by Wine. Moreover, people at AppDB do confirm that they have a lockup problem.
