What works
Installing
Creating new accounts and connecting to servers
Sound works with pulseaudio after some configuration
What does not
Sometimes upon loading an area the graphics will go very strange. All the map will go black besides for a small circle around the player and wine will chug and about lockup forcing me to kill wine.
Sometimes buildings and areas appear very dark but it runs fine when that happens.
Workarounds
What was not tested

NOTE: Guild Wars usually doesn't require any special settings to get working. The advice listed below is only for those who require help installing, running, or troubleshooting Guild Wars.
Installation:
Simply use the installer found at guildwars.com. Unzip the installer and run it using Wine:
wine GwSetup.exe
Running:
WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"
WINEDEBUG=-all will stop the flood of fixme messages generated from normal use. If you require debugging, omit this option.
Troubleshooting:
If you are having graphics issues, use regedit to try some registry keys:
Appending these flags to the run command may help you:
