You can fully download all of the game data and any future updates required for Guild Wars 2 by appending -image
as a command-line argument to the Guild Wars 2 executable (Gw2-64.exe
or Gw2.exe
). An example can be found below:
WINEPREFIX=~/'Wine Prefixes/Guild Wars 2' wine 'Gw2.exe' -image
You can also check the integrity of the game data archive by appending -repair
as a command-line argument (this can take longer than 5-10 minutes to complete):
WINEPREFIX=~/'Wine Prefixes/Guild Wars 2' wine 'Gw2-64.exe' -repair
For quick guidelines:
-image
is recommended so you don't have to worry about streaming data during gameplayGw2.dat
for a while, it's a good idea to run -repair
on it every now and then after updates-repair
is highly recommended

1. go in to the options menu and change the game to windowed mode
2. drag the window to what ever monitor it is supposed to play on
3. maximize the window
This should make the game run in full screen on a secondary monitor

Being unable to rotate the camera makes the game unplayable.
i'm going to attempt filing a bug report (i'm not confident in my skill to perform that).

I'm using OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 and for some reason the Wine packages are very old (latest=5.0, a year old but works flawless actually).
I get this output:
bart-at-localhost:~> mesa_glthread=true WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine64 start /unix "$HOME/Games/Guild Wars 2/Gw2-64.exe"
bart-at-localhost:~> ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.

Posting a Bug Report is a pain, so a comment will have to do.
I get a Black Screen when entering the game (after logging in) and this is because I changed the scale in xrandr.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Change scale: xrandr --output DP-2 --scale 0.75x0.75
2. Start the game.
3. Black screen, but game is responsive.
A lot of message errors will appear saying: X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1440x1620x32 @0! (XRandR 1.2)
Current Solution: HACK
1. Create a script to start the game.
2. Before the command to start, scale back: xrandr --output DP-2 --scale 1x1
3. After the command to start, scale: xrandr --output DP-2 --scale 0.75x0.75
4. Start the game (no black screen)

you can create a .xprofile $HOME and /etc/xprofile
content of my xprofile:
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406
xrandr --dpi 141
The game works just fine for me ;)
