In Lutris it's pretty easy. Click on game and browse files. From there it's basically the same procedure like on Windows. I just copied d3d9.dll into the guildwars2/bin folder.

Hey guys, quick question. I've been playing on Linux for the last few months now with close to 0 issues (occasional crash on map load, but that's rare enough). Performance was great as well.

Since the last patch, though, I'm having a really weird issue concerning laggy situations in WvW. Up to this point, when I was around large groups, I had some skill lag and, of course, the framerate when to hell. Now I'm also getting "movement lag". I'll be holding down, say, W, release the button and my char keeps running it that direction for a while before realizing I pressed another key. What makes it weird is that it doesn't seem to happen if I just turn on autorun and use the mouse to turn the character. That's why it seems to me like the game now somehow introduced lag on keyboard input when there's "regular" lag.

Has anyone else had similar issues? Any idea what might be causing it?

Also, I'm not using the install guide from this thread, I just installed the game via Lutris. Using Manjaro and an AMD graphics card.

 

Thanks!

Yeah, had similar problems. Described solution above. Hope it works for you

None of this happen when I'm in less dense populated areas but might happen while doing fractals.

I have the same problem whenever game has high load. Read in a wow-board about similar problems. Seems some issue with wine misinterpreting auto-repeating keystrokes.Typing "xset r off" in a console to turn off system-wide keyboard auto-repeat was the only workaround i could find. Type "xset r on" to undo and get back your normal behavior.
