Cut it. The issue is you are complaining about an application that will not support WIn7 indefinitely. All of your problems can be laid squarely on the fact that you refuse to move forward. Windows 10 is superior to Win7. Unfortunately, I am stuck with Win11, but even so, it works. Win7 won't in the not too distant future. You ask what you should do and complain about GW2...but the issue is your old OS. The fix is simple. Upgrade. In fact, you are nearly at the end of hardware that Win7 can support (for example, I don't think Win7 supports USB3, new GPUs, new CPUs, etc.). Also, things like Discord Livestream don't work in Windows 7, and more and more software won't support it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, still wondering what your plan is for when Win7 no longer becomes an option? Not many stores still have hitching posts for customers to park their horses at either because the number of horse riders is way, way down. I have my reasons to use win 7 exdpecially for working, i wont explain again and nor you should care about what os i use, I'm still playing because win 7 is still supported, i paid for the game and i continue to support developers for this reason paying also for some in game fascion items. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what your reason for still using it is. I'm curious what your plan for the future is because it's something I am having a difficult time understanding. Usually people keep an older system around if they have a work or hobby-related need for it and then have a newer system for other things that no longer work on the older system. Anet isn't interpreting your purchases as buying support for your older system, btw. Edited April 19, 2023 by Chaba.5410 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacMika.9851 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Your Windows 7 doesn't run Guild Wars 2 properly? Did you know you are missing on critical updates to keep you and your bank account safe? There is a free and safe upgrade from Windows 7! It costs nothing, and works great! Install Linux today and get rid of your dangerously outdated Operating System! Most Distributions already come with Steam pre-installed, which will allow you to install GW2 in 1 click with a bunch of optimizations. You can even use your non-Steam account to play. I recommend searching for "Linux Mint" as your transition from Windows. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any developer, of games or any other application, need to support an Operating System that is more than 3 years out-of-date? For historical reasons... The don't have a choice - every Windows is out-of-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a difficult time understanding this position so I'm curious. I'm now on Skylake which was the last processor "allowed" by Intel/Microsoft to install Win7. When the time comes I'm moving to Linux (I was using FreeBSD/Unix long time ago, but will try KDE Neon). I'll just stop playing when forced to use newest versions of Windows. Which will be sad, as I have 8,2k hours. 😉 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 10th gen and above you need modded third party drivers . Hopefully the support of win 7 will continue, the game run very smooth on this os, i appreciate the fact that thank to command line we can have alternative ways to restore the old UI, DX and remove the problematic framework like chromium that cause this bug.

First, you must have a shortcut to the game in your desktop. You must right-click on the shortcut and select "properties". In the new window, you must have something like this: "H:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe" You must change that information with this: "H:\Games\Guild Wars 2\Gw2-64.exe" -usecoherent Remember that the letter"H" and the route of installation could be different in your case.

Exactly. Software that is no longer being actively worked on becomes a security risk over time. 16 hours ago, anxnox.9027 said: When the time comes I'm moving to Linux (I was using FreeBSD/Unix long time ago, but will try KDE Neon) Thanks for the answer. In the past, Linux wasn't a good choice for the average end-user due to needing a higher level of technical knowledge. I haven't followed Linux development in over a decade though so maybe that's changed. I used to toy a lot with OpenBSD myself.

WIn7 is no longer supported by MS. It will eventually not be supported by any software, and a lot of new hardware will be incompatible with it. It might take a couple of years, but the writing is on the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to add, originally GW2 ran under Windows XP SP 3. Like I've been saying - Win7 will only be supported for so long. Time to move along. For reference, here's an old reddit post about a very similar issue (when someone suggested moving the min requirements to Win7 from WinXP). The whiny responses are hysterical and certainly didn't age well. Edited April 20, 2023 by misterman.1530 Missing close bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
