Ben8472 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 In the last several days i have tried to get Everquest I running under Cider. Using the old cider build from some DeusEx i got it running as shown in this screenshot as you can see the entire text is missing In the Options Menu you can define a Font for the Game, but where normally the font list would appear in the options list there is not a single entry, this means that everquest can't find any font. In Crossover you can select a Font. What i also tried was using the Cider Build of the latest GameTap posted on this Forum (used for oblivion), the first screens when starting everquest do show very distorrted text, but it's text! Now the Problem is, when i get past the first 2 screens, choose my playserver and hit enter world the game crashes to Desktop Old Cider Build: Game runs perfect, but no text New Cider Build: Disstorted Text, crashes after loading the actual game engine Any Ideas would be much appreciated! What i allready tried: switched out config files, switched out .reg files, put in Framework files etc INFO: for anyone who wants to try it out - you gotta have a full patched/updated everquest directory and you need to put in the following code into your config preference file [AppDefaults\\eqgame.exe\\transgaming] "cmdlineadd" = "patchme" the program to start is eqgame.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben8472 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 ok it took alot of try and error (i switfched out some files in the framework directory for d3d) but i finally got it to boot past the server select screen ingame now the problem is that all fonts are pretty distorted (see screenshot) switching through the fonts didnt really help, they all look like this more or less Edit: Friend of mine said that the fonts are not shown at all, just the size of the bitmap blocks. If you look at the image carefully, its really just boxes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben8472 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 was curious if anyone new here or returning might have a new idea on this as i REALLY ran out of ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chetzar Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 i tried it in crossover, it runs the patcher, but won't load the game. Sadly the only way I have ever had success with EverQuest on my macbook is by using windows in boot camp or EQ Mac Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
