Re: EverQuest and the CURRENT cvs BUILD

Thanks for the reply.

The last CVS I tried was just prior to Cedega.  It worked then.

I built this one to see if some of the other enhancements would be 
helpful.  In general they are.  The only side effect I have seen is that 
no character models are displayed.  There is an error message as well

Many of these, way many of them:
err:ddraw:Direct3DDevice9_GetStridedDataUP stride inconsistency! 32 != 44

These are being generated (I believe by exiting)
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_render_states unsupported render state 161 
(MULTISAMPLEANTIALIAS), value=0x00000001
fixme:ddraw:D3D_GL_update_render_states unsupported render state 162 
(MULTISAMPLEMASK), value=0xffffffff

This is mostly informational as I can run fine with Cedega.  I generally 
give Soney a few weeks to see if they resolve the issue first.  I mostly 
have done that and chose to raise the issue based on TG's statement that 
a new Cedega is coming out soon.  If your assertion is correct (and it 
sounds plausible to me) that it is probably being caused by an absence 
of graphics code then I suppose all is well.
