AUTHOR: After speaking with wine devs, it seems it's not feasible/could make some other applications to stop to work, if we 'hack' wine to return 4 instead 0. For those not willing/able to build wine from source (quite uncomfortable too, considering wine release cycle), theres another way to apply the workaround, without having to touch wine at all: File d3dx9_30.dll is part of DirectX dll's, typically you have already put a copy of it in your Linux EQ game directory, if not make a copy from your windows install partition (usually found at /system32 folder with all other DX files) on your Linux game directory and modify the copy.

To patch the file you can use any binary editor (ghex as example -be careful, the program itself is called ghex2 instead-) patch the file d3dx9_30.dll at offsets: 4c6f9, where there is a '83' replace it for '6a' 4c6fa, where there is a 'fe' replace it for '04' 4c6fb, where there is a '02' replace it for '5e' save it and it's done. As a reference the offset list from 4c6f0 before the change should read: 00 00 00 f6 45 f8 50 74 0f 83 fe 02 73 56 b8 57 And the offset list from 4c6f0 after the change should read: 00 00 00 f6 45 f8 50 74 0f 6a 04 5e 73 56 b8 57 Changing d3dx9_30.dll linux EQ local copy won't affect any other application and keeps you from 'patching' wine sorce after each release you want to upgrade to. You can get a modified version of the dll and Angeliqe's working ini file at Just click on the EQ button on the left.

Add this line: pCaps->MaxVertexBlendMatrices=0x4; In file: (your wine source directory)/dlls/d3d9/directx.c At function: IDirect3DDevice9Impl_GetDeviceCaps(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 iface, D3DCAPS9* pCaps) Before returning (return hrc;), line 176 (as of 0.9.55) Build wine as usual and happy Everquestin. I am currently trying this running Wine 2.17 but I was last successfully using 1.7.45 with Everquest Live about a year ago. When I tried to log in a few months ago I got this error after click PLAY in the Launcher. I tried updating the Wine version several times to no avail.

I've followed numerous google trails on solving this with no success, including re-installing the full DX 9.0c package and getting all of the dx* DLLs installed into the wine prefixes, tweaking various other settings, even tried a few other DLLs to be sure. I have no idea what happened, but I can only assume an EQ patch is causing this for me and my particular setup. I am running Mac OS 10.11.6 with latest patches.
