You can also download it via the Steam client and put "%command% -provider Portal" in the launch options. (no quotes) It will let you log in as normally. If you copy files from your existing GW2 install to the Steam one, the steam client will verify and download the files it needs (mostly those that integrate GW2 with the steam client.) But aside from a few files that deal with the Steam API, it's identical to the non-Steam version of GW2. (You can also copy/paste one GW2 install into another, to save a download. My partner and I have done that, and keep a backup of GW2 on a shared server.)

That was me. I always confuse fsync and esync.

Maybe esync?

Maybe it's another sign of my age, but I remember the Vault on IGN. Steam discussion boards often strike me as the worthy successor to the Vault.

Shame I can't post the Nathan Fillion gif.

Yeah, I added the game into Steam as a non-steam game, and I'm using proton. (Which is an implementation of wine.) I've also been able to run it with proton-GE. I can't speak to Lutris because I'm not going down dependency hell for gnome, when I don't have gnome installed (nor want it.)

That problem is really weird. I'm playing with proton, and I haven't encountered any slowdowns in XFCE.

That makes no sense. You add it as a non-steam game. I've done that with other games that are on steam, like Minecraft Dungeons.

Or like Elder Scrolls. YOu download the launcher via Steam, and it lets you log in normally. I believe when I created my account, I was able to link to a Steam account. Also for Path of Exile, I was able to link to my Steam account after the fact.

There are builds for lutris that work and Steam's proton works for a lot. Check out the linux thread for more details.

Or at least link an existing account and a Steam account. (Path of Exile does this.)

I kind of wish it were like Path of Exile or SWTOR, where you could play with it with an existing account, but that's just because I'd like to keep things contained with proton/steam than have it scattered among a few different WINE prefixes. But i've been playing with proton since the CoherentUI update, so now it's Steam's problem to fix, not mine. 😄

Granted, it's been a few years since I lived there, but downtown by the library has a bunch of buses and light rail. Sadly I don't think the ride free zone is a thing anymore...

It's certainly a strange perspective to go from playing an Ascalonian in GW1 to a Charr in GW2. Spoilers for Living World story hits:

Huh. I thought this was a WINE/dxvk issue, because I get it all the time on the dark monarch.

That, and it's got a lot of patches that you probably won't see in WINE, proper, and aren't in staging. fsync, for one. Also, it's assuming dxvk, which the WINE devs don't really want to know about for the purposes of bugs. (That is, it's unsupported, because it's not coded in C, among other reasons.)

Weird. AMD or Nvidia?

I haven't had a windows partition since 2005. I think at this point I'd rather let a game rest for a few months, if it's having problems in Linux than put a windows partition back on. (Especially since I'm not liking the direction Windows 11 is going from a privacy standpoint, or how they are trying to enforce a walled garden with hardware. See also pluton. It's all a bit too close to the "extinguish" part of things.)

Are there Windows users with this problem, too? I haven't had a problem with the BLTC (linux, proton 7-03, nvidia 1050ti, 515.57) I've seen it hypothesized that it's a Linux/wine issue?

From the top post. Probably the easiest way is to try proton with Steam. (at least in my case.) There are other options that allegedly work for Lutris, but I don't use it. See also:

Seems like an "activate glider" key would be something that could be set up as an alternate? If not, it would be a good QOL/accessibility thing.

As I understand it, for a lot of people, they need WINE compiled with this patch: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45277 Proton, ge-proton, and others already have it, but vanilla wine and wine-staging don't, yet. So if you're able to build WINE with that patch, it *should* work, so long as you don't have a problem with anything else. That is, if you're fixed by using proton, ge-proton, or the like, that patch should be enough to fix the issue. (Assuming, too, that you're using dxvk 1.10.1 or above.)

I just did the Queen's Address part (2nd story mission), and diffused 4 bombs with a minute to go, and I didn't get credit for the achievement.

Huh. I thought this one was related to the WINE/CoherentUI weirdness Linux users have been having. Come to think of it, it's awfully like a bug that happened when dx11 was back in beta. (The craigstead instance for LW season 1 (through the scrying pool) would cause it.)

Unless CoherentUI needs dx12 calls now, too? I had a problem once that WoW kept crashing on me. I added vkd3d, and it immediately stopped crashing, even though I was playing it with dx11. The menus required dx12 support.
