You can do this by running the 'wine_settings.sh' file > then go to 'Graphics' tab and tick the 'Emulate a virtual desktop' option (pick your desired resolution). Hey, tried with 1920x1080 and then running play.sh, but it starts up wine desktop and then just crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terminal log doesn't say much unfortunately. ok second attempt: Open up the wine_settings.sh file again, this time go to "Libraries" tab and remove these 3 entries: dxgi, d3d9, d3d11 Let me know if the game runs like this (performance will be slow but don't worry it's just for troubleshooting purposes).

Ok now you need re-add those libraries you deleted in wine_settings: d3d9, d3d11, dxgi (set them all to 'native'). Next you'll have to look for and install the 'libvulkan1' package (amd64 version). Hopefully this is enough to get the game up and running. Edited January 9, 2022 by ArmoredVehicle.2849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I checked and the vulkan package is installed on my system and having added those libs, the program once again crashes at the start.

Could you check if you're running a Wayland or Xorg session? If you're on Wayland, try with Xorg. You can choose the session type as shown in this link: https://linuxconfig.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/01-how-to-enable-disable-wayland-on-ubuntu-20-04-desktop.png Edited January 11, 2022 by ArmoredVehicle.2849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only change for this update. For the next major release I've been testing the AMD FSR Wine patches. This will be mostly helpful to those with low end systems. This feature works fine with GW2 however only when the game is set to DX9 mode. The game's DX11 renderer doesn't seem to be working with it.

riddley.1579 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Huge thanks to ArmoredVehicle! I'm trying to run GW2 in Debian Bullseye on a Framework laptop. The game launches, but the launcher doesn't have any fonts. I imagine this is a scaling issue? I tried various xrandr scaling options and for general use "--scale 0.9x0.9" works best for me. Of course I'm willing to set it to whatever works for the launcher, at least long enough to tell it to remember my password 🙂 Playing with it a bit more, it's complaining that it can't find libfreetype despite me having version 2.10.0 installed. I ran 'ldd' against the binaries in GW2/bin but I don't see any linked to libfreetype. EDIT: Anyone else who runs into this problem "apt install libfreetype6:i386" and you'll be set!

riddley.1579 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Strangely, the initial downloader screen prior to the launcher had fonts just fine. One other thing that I didn't fix was an impossibly slow download. Downloading Debian packages (etc) were very fast, but for some reason the GW2 install took 12 hrs or so. I'm guessing it's the currently-flakey wifi in the Framework. Any idea why I get better FPS with the integrated graphics on the 11th-gen Intel than I do with a Vega64 on a different Debian machine?

What's the CPU on the 11th gen Intel and the one on the Vega64 machine? Can you post the specs of both machines? It might give me a better picture of what the issue may be.

riddley.1579 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The Intel is an i7-1165G7 and the CPU with the Vega64 is a Threadripper 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intel cpu has better single core performance. The amd one is much better at multi threaded tasks but it doesn't have the same benefit for games. Try to run the game to the first 8 cores by using the 'taskset -c 0-7' command. On a 1700X using this method gives me higher frames than letting the game manage the cores by itself.

Teichi.7295 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 In Lutris it's pretty easy. Click on game and browse files. From there it's basically the same procedure like on Windows. I just copied d3d9.dll into the guildwars2/bin folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installation is as follows: 1) In same folder where you extracted the package you'll find a 'arcdps_easysetup_tool' folder. 2) Download the d3d9.dll file from "https://www.deltaconnected.com/arcdps/x64/" and place it in the "put_arcdps_files_here" 3) Run the "arcdps_setup.sh" file - this will copy the file to the correct folder. Please Note: On Linux I could only get it to work while the game is in DX9 mode. So far I haven't managed to make it work while the game is running in DX11 mode.
