GW2 Client Black Screen

[diabolical]

I downloaded the GW2 client and had no issues. I downloaded all the updates and the login screen was good.
A few days later I opened again for updates and there was one and it updated with no problems. A few days pass and I check again and now I just get a black screen every time.

I'm new to wine and wondering if anyone has the same problem and could help me through this.

I'm also running wine 1.4.1

I also noticed that if i scroll around the giant black box. I can find the login fields. Clicking on them does not show any typed text it just stays completely black. I can also click a link that opens safari and brings me to the gw2 website.

Again the original client installed fine and after another patch it started the black screen problem.

Hi,

I'm not sure if that will help you, but you could try command line option "-useoldlauncher", that means running something like "wine gw2.exe -useoldlauncher" from GW directory.

hi lahmbi5678, thanks for the reply. I didn't get to try this because I reformatted and installed windows via bootcamp. Hopefully your solution will help anyone else who has this problem.
