DrMORO.4627 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 FYI, NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW, cloud-based game streaming service, is out of Mac beta, and is now officially released.Works nicely with my old MBP13 (2011), and have been beta-testing and playing since the start of the beta project.Two tier membership, one play for free up to a hour at a time, unlimited re-logins, and paid 6 hour limited play time plus better ray-tracing graphics.Much better to have Mac options to play GW2, rather than less for sure.

Jacques.8170 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 So my sound issue was nothing to do with the game, its my kvm switch. Map movement is still nice and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques.8170 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 ...And I figured out why my map is so nice and fast. I have two mice plugged in, one MS USB wheel mouse (nice and fast map) and my Logitech G600 (slow map). The issue with the map scrolling and panning speed lies in the mouse polling speed setting. I used my Logitech software to set the mouse polling speed to 125 reports per second and voila, smooth maps movements on both mice! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshade.8690 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hi, when downloading the client I get about 53% past the playable threshold and then it just stops downloading and I've been stuck on 53% for about 4 hours now. Don't get me wrong, the game works and loads perfectly fine (a little slow when visiting major cities mind, but nothing too noticeable), but I'd quite like to fully install the game incase I do run into any issues. Anyone else had this? It just runs on a loop saying like 254,117 files left to download, and my internet speed is pretty decent. Any help would be appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightshade.8690 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Ah, I just realised I can't post photos :/ It was a big long error and it said it was a major error that would stop it from running, but it still runs anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aoi.8570 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I'm back to Guild Wars 2 after a break since last summer, and I don't know what changed, but I've never experienced such low FPS rate until now. I play on the LOWEST possible settings (everything LOW/turned off), even lowered resolution. 10 fps is the best I can get nowadays (while playing 2v2 arena...), even though 25-40fps was average before.Macbook Pro - Retina, late 2013. (obviously I could blame it on computer, because it's not the newest model and "Mac(book)s are not for games!", but the computer itself coudn't get that much worse in 6 months).Edit: Few hours later, tried every possible option to increase the performance, but the game is basically unplayable. Seriously, I've no idea what game devs have done lately, but I can't do anything: explore maps, do events, play 2v2 PvP. Moreover, game started to crash very often.

DarkHound.8521 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 So I am having this issue since 3 days ago, it kept on saying serious error messaged every time i clicked on the gw2 64bit launcher on Mac. Currently its version is at 10.15.3 for MacOS. I tried to repair it by using the terminal but it doesn't work at all, i spammed the terminal and it is the same. Is there anything else that could help me able to play it on my Macbook Pro? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeS.3607 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just updated my iMac to Catalina 10.15.4 (which is only few months old) And now GW2 will not launch, all it does is bounce in the dock. Have to force Quit.Uninstalled and reinstalled game still no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsu.6094 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I had the same problem with Catalina 10.15.4. Game wouldn't start. It just bounced on the dock. EDIT: From the terminal, forcing some cleaning seems to have fixed it.__ cd /Applications/Guild Wars 2 64-bit.app/Contents/MacOSrm CoherentUI_Hostcd ~/Library/Application\ Support/rm -rf Guild\ Wars\ 2 __Try that and see if it works for you. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeknoJKD.8145 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I too had the problem, the GW2 Launcher would not run after upgrading to 10.15.4. However, running the repair tool as described here completely fixed the problem. Everything works again, after the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadmaPhala.1824 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I redownloaded GW2 and it seems to be working... it is still updating.The bug may have to do with a security feature in MacOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XProtect seems to be stuck. Killing it in Activity monitor relaunches it. But this also allows the game client to load. Is this a problem on Apple's side?

I also tried let it finish and game client loads either. But waiting each time 15m for XProtect seems not reasonable either.I think, Apple could care more for GW2 - but also could Arenanet care more for macOS users. When both sides don't care - gamers on macOS are rare for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wysardi.9302 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 It’s not Arenanets fault. The new MacOS just came out. You can’t expect them to make a fix when they don’t know a problem exists yet.

Malus Bloodthirst.4923 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Recently I have also been suffering from the low FPS issue with MBP 16'' 2019.2.6 GHZ i7, 16GB RAM5300M Radeon Pro (performance equivalent to GTX 1650)I used to play GW2 in bootcamp (Windows 10) since in 2019 the Mac client didn't work at all with 16" MBP. After installing d912pxy I was playing on best appearance (everything maxed out) with 30 FPS being the absolute minimum I could get. Average was 40, in "easier" environments even 50. It was amazing, perfectly smooth and absolutely breathtaking experience on this laptop!!! I don't know what changed recently (I updated the game a week ago, been playing on my desktop since december), but now in Windows it's only playable without d912pxy and far from enjoyable. I get a max. of 30 FPS with best appearance, but I suffer from 15-20 FPS lag spikes when I turn around too quickly/mount up etc. (similar issue like in 2019, a bit milder). VSync doesn't help, makes it even worse. Using d912pxy removes these lag spikes (like in 2019) but now I only get 15-25 FPS so that's a no-go as well.Mac client works now but it's only playable with lowest settings (even though autodetect sets it mid/high).Please, make at least the windows version enjoyable again. I believe it's a GPU optimisation problem since changing the CPU-intensive settings has no effect on FPS. Now I'm stuck playing with low-end details (in windows without d912pxy or in mac), which give me 50-60 FPS and spikes of 20-30 FPS. A pity with this setup :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
