First, I'd like to thank the dev's for their excellent work in enabling us mac users to play GW2! Keep up the good work
.Second, Wine v1.5.10 seems to be doing a great job at allowing me to have access to installing and loading the game. I've played with and adjusted the graphic settings in Wine and it loads pretty ideally, but there's a problem! After the 9 step character creation in the game, GW2 freezes up and I'd have to close the program. I had continued to tweak the graphics settings and switched to run -useoldlaucher but neither of those helped with this problem. I tried waiting for it to load (after creation), tried creating different characters, tried the "skip to end" option in character creating but I received the same results. Whenever I would close out of GW2, I would have to delete me local and temp files in my GW2 folder for the game to be able to open again.
This freezing seems to only be happening when GW2 tries to load the first set of cinematics for the game.
I've tried copying the entire Wineskin into /Applications and running my Guild Wars 2 wineskin from there but that doesn't seem to help either.
The path in the "Windows EXE" that I have used to execute the .exe file to load/play the game is:
"/Program Files/GW2/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.exe"
The physical location of my GW2.exe is:
/Applications/Wineskin/Guild Wars 2.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/GW2/Guild Wars 2"
My system information is:
Macbook Pro
Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Memory: 598.88 GB free out of 749.3 GB
Any suggestions are appreciated. If more details are needed let me know!
