Crossover Games 9 vs. EverQuest - your experiences?

New thread time, time to check on what your experiences have been running EQ in CG9.

What works, what doesn't, what was fixed from the last version? Any information we can post can be beneficial to both us as users and the developers.

My setup:
Machine: Macbook Pro 5.3
CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz
Graphics: NVidia GeForce 9400M/9600M GT
RAM: 4GB
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
CG version: 9.1.0

My experiences:

  • I had some minor graphics glitches (hall of mirrors effect in Dragonscale Hills) until I did two things:
    1) Selected the "Higher performance" setting (Preferences/Energy Saver in OS X), which enables the 9600M GT instead of the 9400M (you can see which card is used in EQ if you go to Options -> Display -> Advanced).
    2) Edited out all the shaders in the eqclient.ini file, as before.

  • An improvement from before: no lag on mouselook anymore. No lag on anything, in fact. This could be pure performance improvement from using newer hardware as well though.

I will test more later (perhaps on different machines as well) and update as I find more things.
I just wanted this up here now so that others can share experiences.

Please post your own specs and experiences in this thread.
