Hello, does anyone have an idea of what I could do about this problem: I've been using GW2 on Steam with various proton versions, and since possible also the official steam version. Now, since using Ubuntu 22.04 the game starts heavily dropping frames and audio stuttering after playing for a few minutes, especially in group content. Audio + graphics work in any other place, so I'm aasuming it's GW2. Regards

Hello, if I may ask, as a total idiot: there is a strange problem that occurs randomly: the gw2 window gets the Linux bar (with date, time etc) on top of it. If i do anything regarding graphics, tabbing out or closing the game, the whole linux UI dies. Then i can only shut down the PC. If i then reboot, the OS wont boot until like 15 minutes after that. This graphic thing happens with any ingame graphic settings.if any of you could tell me what i can do in any of these steps, i would appreciate it. Anything helps, i am very unknowledgeable :)

update 3: in case anyone tries - like me - looking for a solution here in this thread, i might have it now.100% not a linux issue, it appears the european servers are giving out corrupted files, switching the servers to download from to US seems to solve the problem for most people (by using arguments -assetsrv [current IP] [or] origincdn.101.arenanetworks.com , possibly -patchconnections 1). in some cases apparently people had to be connected to their router via cable as oppose to wireless.again, doesn't really belong here I think but maybe it helps a few people coming across.

okay, at this point I am 90% sure this problem has nothing to do with the linux launching methods. Sorry for bothering this thread.

Since this appears to be a tech support thread, I'm just going to test my luck here. I tried about 4 different ways to run GW2 on Ubuntu 18.04, 3 of them pretty much worked (Armored Vehicle Scripts / manually get all the Wine things / Lutris) up to the moment of downloading all the files for gw2.dat in the installation process through the launcher. There is always about 10% missing and then it gives up and there is no way to get it to finish. It doesn't freeze, the megabytes shown are constantly rising, but 1: up to a point of being way too big, 2: the gw2.dat doesn't grow anymore, 3: It never gets more of the files mentioned on the launcher, 4: it never gets away from 90% or 91%.Running the game anyways (since it is ready to play at like 30% already) is, as far as I know, known to have unplayable performance and does so in my case too. Right now, I want to see if I can get 100% on windows first, and if so, just copy the files to my Ubuntu system (the wiki tells me they are not machine dependant). I've seen kind of similar launcher issues reported in here and maybe someone has an idea of where it might come from, since not everyone can use windows.@jinxlaw.9467 did that work for you? Update: another thread mentions something that could be related
