# EverQuest Legends on NixOS via Wine
EverQuest Legends is distributed as a standalone Daybreak/LaunchPad installer, not through Steam. The flake provides an `eqlegends` app that creates a mutable Wine prefix and installs the launcher from `EQLegends_setup.exe`.
EverQuest Legends is distributed as a standalone Daybreak/LaunchPad installer, not through Steam. The flake provides an `eqlegends` app that creates a mutable Wine prefix and installs the launcher from a pinned Daybreak installer URL.
The installer in this repository is a Nullsoft/NSIS installer containing `LaunchPad.exe`, CEF libraries, and `LaunchPad.ini` with `appName=EverQuest Legends` and `id=eqns`. The game data itself is expected to be downloaded later by LaunchPad.

## Quick start
From the repository directory containing `EQLegends_setup.exe`:
Run:
```bash
nix run .#eqlegends

## Troubleshooting
If the installer cannot be found, run from the repository root or set `EQL_INSTALLER`.
If the pinned installer hash fails, Daybreak probably replaced the installer. Update the `fetchurl` hash in `packages/eqlegends/package.nix`, or temporarily set `EQL_INSTALLER`.
The launcher may emit repeated `libEGL warning` lines while CEF probes graphics paths under Wine. The wrapper filters those by default. To see the raw output:
```bash
EQL_FILTER_EGL_WARNINGS=0 nix run .#eqlegends
