EverQuest II Forum

Hey there,
I still have the trial version of crossover.
after I tried some games that didn't worked that great (runes of magic etc..) I really wanted to play everquest 2 via crossover.
So I installed it etc, and came to the launcher, the launcher installed the game, and I can press the big green ''PLAY'' button.
Then the game starts and I can hear the awesome music, but I only see some messed up graphics, you can hardly recognize anything, actually its just random dots and collors on my screen :(
I really hope someone knows a solution for this, I'm not very technical or anything and I dont have alot of knowledge about computers etc..
Srry for my bad english :P

My specs:
Macbook pro mid 2012
Processor : 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Ram : 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
graphic card : Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB

Thanks alot !

Try changing your game's video resolution to something smaller,

or hooking up an external monitor to see if the issue is the internal monitor's native resolutions.

Check your mac's console log(in Utilities -> console), does it provide any info between the start and crash of the app?

hey thanks for the very fast reply !

I tried some different resolutions but still the same..
unfortunately I dont have another monitor (yet).

but the game doesnt really crashes.. I can still move the mouse around and the music keeps playing, sometimes I can kind of recognize a button in the main menu, and when i click on it i guess its taking me to another screen (maybe an option screen or whatsoever)

I put a link with a screenshot, were u can see how it looks, with the console next to it, maybe u can see something in it :)

many many thanks and i really hope we can find a solution ^^

You probably just need to set the useGLSL registry key to enabled. Follow this guide:

Nevermind, enabling GLSL does not fix the problem. As far as I can tell the game will not work with Intel graphics on Mac.

What sort of issues are you having with Runes of Magic? I test the game using a Macbook Air with Intel graphics and it runs nearly perfect. Only problem I have seen is the screen is black on startup, but that goes away and the graphics appear after a minute or so.

Well if I want to install runes of magic, I get to the Runes of magic installer, and then its installing.
at 79% it gets kinda stuck, and restart the install progress.

thanks again :)

Fixed the Crosstie file for Runes of Magic. It should be available within 48 hours.

Thanks alot !!!!

still does the same :(, i posted a thread at the runes of magic forum.
