'pacman' in this context is the package manger of Arch Linux. If you're using a different distribution you'll have to figure out how to install the required libraries that are mentioned on your distro.

Okay, this might be a long shot, but maybe it helps someone else too. After deleting all log files in my Guild Wars 2 directory, the game now works under Proton. All I did was running rm *.log before doing some testing, and suddenly things started working. Nevermind, I actually figured it out... I was doing some other cleanup as well, and the problem is indeed linked to 32-bit libraries. You need to have 32-bit vulkan libraries working, otherwise the game won't launch.

Hi, since you're also on AMD... can you check your Wine console output when trying to run the game with DXVK if you see something along the lines of "01e8:err:vulkan:wine_vkCreateInstance Failed to load physical devices, res=5"? I have the feeling that there is a separate bug at play from what's already been discussed, that seems to come up only with the AMD Mesa drivers.

For what it's worth, with Wine-Staging 7.13 I'm able to play the game in DX11 mode, without DXVK. There is some performance hit, and my CPU runs on a higher load, but it's absolutely playable. Some quick system info: Arch Linux, Ryzen 3700X, Radeon RX 5700, Linux 5.18.2, Mesa 22.1.3, Wine-Staging 7.13 With DXVK I'm seeing the following crash:

I've tried cycling through multiple Proton versions... stable, experimental, and several GE releases. But the launcher keeps crashing with all of them. Maybe AMDGPU users are hit worse by this issue?
