Notes

  • This is not an error, a Return code 0 represents success 
    Exit with return code 0
    • A return code greater than 0 represents a problem, with a code of 256 being common 
      Exit with return code 256
    • Another fairly common one is return code of 512 
      Exit with return code 512
      If you encounter anything other than 0, search the Internet for that specific return code in Lutris
  • Edit your eqclient.ini at 
    /home/<username>/Games/takp/drive_c/Program Files/EverQuest/eqclient.ini
    This path is dependent on what you chose during install. It should be the default path.
    • You want to edit your file to set your resolution; set your Width and Height to your specific monitor. Here are my settings:
[VideoMode]
BitsPerPixel=32
Width=1600
Height=900
RefreshRate=60
