This morning I finally got EQ2 working in Ubuntu under both wine and crossover games.  I haven’t had a chance to see if the voice chat works correctly since none of the other junkies were online.

I will post a comprehensive guide once I get the voice chat working!

I just wanted to remind everyone that we do have forums at EQjunkies – we just rarely use them.

Feel free to stop by the forums and see what is going on.

It seems like a lot of people like the previous post about EQ3 and what I would like to see out of it.  (It even got mentioned on the EQ2 site!)

That being said, I apologize for the lack of consistent posting.  I had been busy with my graduate courses late last semester and then was traveling over break.

I should be back in the EQ2 posting groove now…

The major thing that I am working on now is a comprehensive guide to getting Everquest Two working in Linux.  I have seen several posts on Cedega’s website, the EQ2 players website, Crossover games support site, and also on the wineHQ site.  I plan to merge all of the different tips and make one walk through that will get you up and running.

I gave crossover and wine a shot the past couple of days, and of course nothing worked immediately – what else can you expect?  Hopefully over the next week or so I will have things working stablely and be able to help others get things working…I will keep you posted.

To give you an idea of my rig:

P4 3.0

1.5 GB RAM

7800GT video card

USB Logitech Headset

I plan on writing the guide for Ubuntu Linux since that seems to be the most popular for the user base.  I will explore getting EQ2 to run consistently as well as getting voice chat to work well.

I will keep you posted – keep checking back for updates!
