Thanks for the quick replies.
I've tried it both ways. I tried using EQW, when after patching you point EQW to eqgame and hit go and it crashes (I tried this with fix .ini on and off).
When I try unchecking use EQW checkbox in patcher, it launches fine. It brings up welcome screens and I go through the configuration wizard; however, I have no control of the mouse. I try to move it up and it brings it right back down. I get through the wizard, login to my account and hit play. It immediately appears to start, but soon crashes. Error window says click for details, I do and it says wait for details but never populates anything.
I am still playing with this and will update this thread if I have any success, I'd appreciate any responses from other players who may come across this and have any suggestions.
For reference - Mac OS X 10.8.4, i7, 16GB RAM, this is the early 2011 model MBP (MacBookPro8,2) the first to introduce thunderbolt port. It supports graphics switching between Radeon HD 6750M and Intel HD 3000 chips.
Edit - I have EQW working, I am at launch screen with my character. I set wine to emulate a virtual desktop; however, I have no mouse or keyboard control to log my guy in but have full control until I get to login screen. I tried the EQW commands to grab the input but its not working yet. I'll keep plugging away at this. Again, any suggestions LMK.
Thanks.
