Wine and High Sierra

[vatter69]

Anyone got this working? I am currently using Wine (Wineskin Wrapper) on 10.12 to run an old Game (Everquest) on my 2016 Macbook Pro. I installed the public beta and the app starts but just sits there. No error message, crash, literally doing nothing.

I updated to Public Beta 6 this morning and installed/created a complete new wrapper with 2.1.12 and 2.6.2 engine - same result.

I'm a bit at a loss - i saw similar reports (although rare) on the wine forum but no response, figured this forum has a much higher user base so maybe someone shares the same issue and found a fix.

I don't appear to be having this issue. I use it for the same reason and Icewind Dale II runs as well/weird as it did before.
Wrapper V: Wineskin 2.6.2
Engine: WS9Wine1.9.15

You could also try using wine without winebottler: https://www.bonusbits.com/wiki/HowTo:Install_MacPorts_and_Wine_on_Mac_OS_X

hay what server are you playing on? Are you playing live or an emulator server?

I remember it being a pain in the ass a few years back when I did it. Made me give up on it. I miss my barbarian shaman!

Ah damn! I might have to try to get my copy working again. I've still got original my titanium disks. I'd recommend waiting for the beta to finish and try again. Wine is so hard sometimes

Open Wineskin, select Set Screen Options, turn off "Auto Detect GPU Info for Direct3D" and it should work.

Note also, I seem to have better performance using X11 than the Mac Driver in High Sierra. Not sure why.
