Ok, so I have a weird situation. I have a Windows laptop that is dual boot Win 10/Unbuntu 18.04 and GW2 runs on both boots very well....following these steps for Linux. Then I have a 2011 27 inch iMac that is dual boot Mac OS /Ubuntu 18.04(same as the laptop) that runs GW2 a little better than the laptop since the laptop has lower specs. The weird thing is I followed these steps to install GW2 on the Linux boot of my Mac, it brings my mac grinding to a halt.....almost. It will accept input from the keyboard or mouse about ever 10 seconds or so. This behavior starts when the client loads and begins downloading the initial content of the game. It gets down to about 30 files left to download and then progress stops. When I kill the client because it isn't responding anymore and then run ./play.sh, it never loads all the way to the character selection screen without locking up the system. So I decided to try ./debug.sh to see if I could tell what was happening. The first time I ran ./debug.sh, it loaded all the way to the character selection and I logged in to a character and decided to set the graphics options like the screenshot here. I then exited to desktop and ran ./debug.sh again.....nothing! Locked up the system again and has never loaded the client past the login screen since. Anyone else have this happening? I get the account login screen each time, but when I click Play, it locks up my system. I even pulled up the system resource app to watch the CPU and memory. The CPU's take a good hit....up to about 61% on the first core (i5), but never maxed out and I have 12 GB RAM and it's not being maxed either so I'm not sure why this is killing me so bad. As things stand right now, everything is fully installed and downloaded but after the GW2 "Initializing Screen" pops up and then goes away, the system is locking up before I get the login screen. Thanks in advance for any help!! Ok, so this is even more weird.... I can now get it to completely get passed the Initializing screen and to the login screen and then start the game and play.....But.....I have to keep my mouse moving when I start it up. Like as soon as I type ./play.sh and hit enter, I keep my mouse moving (just in circles really) and the game will start up. If I lean back in my chair and dont touch anything, it locks the whole system up and I have to hard restart it. What kind of witchcraft is this??! I have tested this several times and each time it starts if I move the mouse and locks the system if I dont.
