I would love to see the Asura reclaim their underground areas post-Destroyers.

IMO, I'm glad they're not making the Commander be a wizard, because that would just be a cheap way to reboot the story when they don't remember all the people from the past expansions and living worlds. I get that they're trying to be a bit more ambiguous as to who the "bad guy" is, but I'll be glad when we leave the wizards behind, because I think they're a far greater threat to Tyria than the Kryptis are.

FWIW, I'm on slackware-current, so close to Arch in a lot of versions. (i'm using X11 and XFCE4, though.) pixman is 0.43.0 for me. We're not using libplacebo. What happens if you downgrade pixman?

Valve can't fix what they don't know about. Something changed with the launcher, and something in proton needs to change to adjust for it.

If you're having problems with proton, the place to post issues is on the proton github. ArenaNet doesn't fix things with proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6547

Yeah, it happens. The last time I bought some gems, it took a few hours.

You can still use regular wine (wine-staging, really) with GW2, but you need the vk child window patch. If you're not comfortable compiling it on your own, Proton has it already enabled, and Steam has a vested interest in keeping GW2 running, so it's easier to use proton to play GW2. I'm a bit lazy, and I don't mind not spending 20 minutes compiling WINE on my own. I don't know if lutris's WINE builds have that particular patch, because I don't use it. As for the overhead of Steam, it's far less than two tabs on firefox or discord. With a computer with at least 16GB of RAM, you shouldn't notice the native Steam client. You don't have to repurchase GW2 through Steam. If you bought expansions through the website, and played it on the standalone client, then you need to append "-provider Portal" to launch options. (Right click the game, choose "Properties," and it's under "General.") Just make sure that for any future expansions, you buy them through the GW2 store, not Steam.

Then you really should've done your research before getting a Steam Deck, honestly. Valve is upfront that any issues with a game running on proton should be handled through them at the github link I shared, rather than through the developers directly.

ArenaNet doesn't handle proton or the steam deck. You'll have to go through Valve: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6547 Otherwise, there's a thread here: There are also tips on the protondb entry for GW2: https://www.protondb.com/app/1284210?device=steamDeck

I just did two rifts in Sandswept Isle, and didn't get credit for either of them. I was on my guardian--does it make a difference if the character hasn't done the story chapters? I seem to recall having no problems on the character who had run through the new chapters the last time this daily popped.

That's my one big beef with it is that so much of the music is recycled from GW1. But that's been true for the game, itself.

I really enjoyed Droknar's Forge again without having to do the Droknar's forge run. 😄

Cool, thanks. I wasn't doing rifts, since I was running around looking for a bounty.

I'm just glad I'm not stuck with 47 repair canisters and 52 bank vault accesses.

Launcher patches. 🙂 Not expecting any big issues, since it's basically the same engine and UI we've been using the past 6 months.
