I am now able to enjoy GW2 at 140fps with DXVK, and dx11. after I got it working with wine-staging, I installed wine-ge-custom from the AUR. added dx11 via winetricks installed amd-gpu-pro drivers installed pro vulkan drivers, including lib32 versions. installed dxvk from repos installed dxvk into the wine prefix launched gw2 with the -dx11 switch game launched, I can log in and play at max visuals. 🙂 I have not tested the trading post yet. I also noticed last night there was an updated wine-ge-custom, have not installed it, b/c I want to enjoy playing for a bit since I've missed it for a month. just wanted to pass along how I could finally get it going again, in case it may help someone else.

this is a weird issue, took me a few days to figure out it was only after I installed guild wars 2 in bottles. do you also run steam, or just proton (instead of vanilla wine)? from what I saw when I ran it in bottles, max visuals, at ~140fps, looked beautiful. if you are running proton with no wine, I'd like to try that.

huh... removed wine-ge-custom removed bottles installed wine-staging added dx9 in winetricks running GW2 with the -dx9 flag: wine64 /datadrive/games/gw2/Gw2-64.exe -dx9 and it's running at about 50fps, running with dxvk still crashes. and to top it off, thunar still works. 🙂 I'll take it!

build my new machine: amd ryzen radeon 6700 XT gw2 still crashes with wine. I was able to get it running with bottles, with ~140fps on max settings! YES!!!! however, having bottles installed and a game configured in bottles borked thunar (xfce file manager), where whenever I right click in thunar as to create a new file/folder or paste a file I've copy/cut, thunar freezes and it's memory usage jumps to over 12gig. WTF? I've posted about it here: https://forum.usebottles.com/t/install-game-in-bottles-freezes-thunar-file-manager/568 and here: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=16004 it's been a good run, and I guess I can either have guild wars 2 working in bottles that breaks thunar, or a working system and no guild wars 2. has anyone else experienced the thunar issue I've described?

I've tried various bottles settings on my system, and it's a no go, I did get it to work once, though <10 fps. building a new machine soon, hopefully the different hardware will make a difference.

thanx for the info, unfortunately, after updating wine-ge-custom from AUR, a new wineprefix, no dvxk, and gw2 still crashes when trying to launch. 😞 time to try other things.

thanx for the link. if I understand that correctly, I will need to have wine installed from the repository, and then install this on top of it? I also noticed there is a wine-ge-custom in AUR for arch linux, any idea if this is the same?

thanx for the reply. I'm ok with installing a different flavor of wine (just stuck with wine-staging because it worked), or even use bottles to launch, I'm just hoping it can be done without steam.

has anyone gotten it working with just regular wine, no playonlinux, no lutris no bottles? I've had it working since launch with just wine (with FPS no higher than 35), and over the last few years with wine+dxvk with the FPS starting in the mid 40's, usually on average it was low 50's. now, it's a no go with just wine(staging) and no front end (bottles, lutris, etc). I installed bottles to test other wine versions/configurations, and it's mostly miss. however, if I do gt into the game with dxvk enabled, my fps doesn't go above 20. I prefer to not install steam, since GW2 is the only game I've played and it's worked flawlessly since launch with just wine(staging). I've really missed my evening wind down sessions. if anyone has any tips on how to get it playable again (without steam), I'd be very grateful.

before I did the lvl boost, the dailies I was receiving were lvl appropriate with my characters.

quick and probably stupid question on the Daily's.my highest lvl is 30, and I created a new character and used the lvl 80 bump to try out some of the gear. Well, needless to say I didn't care of it (after I accepted it) and then deleted that character. Since doing that, most if not all the Daily's I now get are in way higher level than my lvl 30. Did I just screw myself? thanx.
