HowTo / Notes

Game Data Updating and Integrity Checking/Repair

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:

  • For initial installations, -image is recommended so you don't have to worry about streaming data during gameplay
  • If you've had your Gw2.dat for a while, it's a good idea to run -repair on it every now and then after updates
  • If you've had to hard-shutdown your computer while GW2 was running, running -repair is highly recommended

Coherent crashes and -ignorecoherentgpucrash
by framed on Thursday December 15th 2022, 19:25
I had been getting intermittent crashes in the game at three different times: 1) using the trading post 2) changing zones 3) tabbing out to a different application. I don't know when ArenaNet added the option, but adding "-ignorecoherentgpucrash" to the command stopped my crashing entirely. I've played for several days without any crashes doing all those things, so I'm satisfied that it solved those problems for me.

I was able to make it work.

Installing corefonts, tahoma fonts with wine tricks. Installing d9vk with winetricks. 64bit prefix. Wine version 7.18 staging. Using lutris default settings for it. I also renamed Gw2-setup64.exe to Gw2-64.exe Not certain if renaming is needed. I have not tested it without lutris.

After the recent update, GW2 launcher/installer doesn't currently run wine 7.13
by Stefanescu A on Sunday July 24th 2022, 12:16
It used to run with 7.12(and I think with 7.13) too but after the recent update the launcher crashes when dxvk is used. It works and updates the game when using D3D(without dxvk) but the game crashes when launched without dxvk so there is no way to play the game.

Currently it works(launcher+game+dxvk) with Wine 7.2(the build lutris-fshack-7.2)

i experience the same bug as Deandre Thomas
by Joël on Monday April 12th 2021, 13:04
i'm using openSUSE Leap 15.2 with KDE desktop environment and wine staging 6.6

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).

In my case, going back to wine-staging 6.2 from the winehq repositories worked as well.

I'm seeing a similar behaviour since about 17.1.2021 - I'm on wine 6.0.1 (staging) (Fedora package wine-6.0-1.fc33.x86_64 ) and get similar lockups with the message close to it in the log:

0120:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 000000014218F170 "?" wait timed out in thread 0120, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)

GPU is AMD Radeon RX 560 (as discrete GPU in a laptop).

Wine-Staging 6 rc5 freeze
by Bart Vaes on Thursday January 7th 2021, 15:58
As the subject says: using Wine-Staging 6.0-rc5 I suddenly get periodic screen freezes that last 3-4 sec or so.
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.

The last 3 lines get repeated and causes the freeze.

wine-staging 5.20 causes the launcher to fill all the memory until the system runs out of memory
by Artemis3 on Saturday November 7th 2020, 0:07
Running with Gentoo, 64 bit profile. Until wine-staging 5.19 all is good. With 5.20, the launcher fills up all your memory causing the dreaded Out Of Memory condition. Downgrading back to 5.19 cures the issue.

4.10 and the Trading post
by Jen on Thursday June 13th 2019, 23:36
I've tried both 4.10 and 4.10-staging, and every time I try accessing the trading post, I get "net::ERR_FAILED". Anyone else getting this? I didn't get it with 4.9-staging.

BUG: Black Screen
by Ricardo Rodrigues on Wednesday June 20th 2018, 21:55
Hi,

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)

by Bruno Oliveira on Friday July 17th 2020, 10:44
you actually don't need a script.
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 ;)

Is this confirmed working in Gentoo Stable? I'm having issues getting it launched currently. Haven't messed with it too much yet

Guild Wars 2
by Frank on Monday January 1st 2018, 22:55
I found that this game works perfectly with older versions of wine too, it's all good (from 2.0 and upwards), I'm using Debian Stretch. I worked away all the error messages in the debug output and it works great. I even use the nvidia optimum, all good. Only i found that by switching to Wayland, that the mouse error (that the mouse stops at a certain point which prevents you from looking 360 degrees in 1 move) from long ago is back. In X I don't have this.
