Not Crossover but wineskin. I was getting by with a workaround to skip the launcher, but the new patch has nixed that route. Can't get launchpad to run with my wine wrapper, or a new wrapper install.
Check this thread, gang. He shared the patch files so you can manually install them without the launcher, then use the Patchme workaround to play. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/eqpatch-19-07-17-xp-vista-installer.242729/
I was and haven't been able to get this going since around June 28th. Worked perfectly for well over a year. I deleted my Everquest on crossover and tried re-installing but it won't get anywhere as it won't install direct x. It just crashes. I really wish I could figure this out! I can't use the patch me work around unfortunately because I don't have the files because game won't install
I actually had some issue patching last night, it did some funny things with launchpad and a .dll. When I get home in a bit, I'll upload my patched launchpad if anyone wants to try it on crossover/wineskin https://mega.nz/#!dzpGCRoY!gXhz1OgPp9QpxPrdw-A1Bg_TSabqa8kjaAKKnDE6HeQ that is my working launchpad/libcef.dll
Been playing using wineskin for a while. June patch broke launchpad, this patch broke the patchme workaround. Have installed the files above and then the launchpad/libcef but now get an 'error in you gui xml files' when i try to run via eqgame and patchme. Any thoughts?
Nope, still same error. UIerrors reads: UIErrorLog created at Thu Jul 20 07:12:30 2017 [Thu Jul 20 07:12:30 2017] Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles\default\.

Just thought it may be of interest to anyone else suffering with the crossover/wine/wineskin problem. I put my eq directory on a memory stick, ran launcher on a friends pc, saved it back to memory stick and dumped whole lot back into my wrapper. All working fine using patchme workaround now.
