EverQuest Forum

As of 4/4/2024, here's what's broken on EverQuest on MacOS (Sonoma 14.4.1 on MacBook Pro M3 Pro chip) with CrossOver 24.0.1

1. Loading Screen (Launch Pad Screen) - works
2. Server Selection Screen - works
3. Character Selection Screen - does not work!
   Workaround: To get the Character Selection Screen to work - turn off: D3DMetal and DXVK. Esync, Msync can be turned on.
4. Full screen - does not work!
   Workaround: Play the game in window mode.

I have yet to test making changes to video settings within the game.

Thanks for the workaround - turning off settings in Crossover worked for me too. I can get the game to play in fullscreen on my M1 Mini.

Awesome! Interesting that full screen just locks up the game for me on my M3 Pro.

Has anyone tried using the original models? They're completely white for me. Just a white ghost of what a character should look like... ie no texture, no color, no features of any type

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by original models?

This fix seems to have worked for me as well. (I haven't played yet but it now loads). I have full screen working on mine as well, but to be completely accurate, I have my EQ setting to full screen windowed mode, which is not really the same as full screen mode.

I just tried that, and it worked! I pressed the green-button to full screen and I can play game in "Window mode" but full screen - if that makes sense. Good tip!

When EQ released Velious they created new character models for the player characters. I prefer the original.

After logging in from the patcher, but BEOFRE you press the play button, click on "Advanced Tools" then "Game Configuration" Click next. You can then disable the newer velious models from that screen for each character/race.

I am playing on M1 Max on my MBP. I am really happy as now with DX11 deployed at the beginning of the year, my old windows laptop doesn't work for EQ anymore due to graphics card.

I noticed tho as the other person mentioned, all the models are white with no texture. Is there a fix for this figured out? I was going to start messing with settings but I figured I couldn't be the only one with this problem.
