    Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 14.04

    Hey guys, so here's my issue.
    I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04. Among some of the things I planned on doing first was installing drivers, PlayOnLinux, then on to Guild Wars 2. I used PlayOnLinux to install the game I'm getting some error messages. Here is an image of the error when I start Guild Wars 2 from PlayOnLinux:



    And here is an image of what I get when I start GW2 from a desktop shortcut:



    I'm using the latest PlayOnLinux and running Guild Wars 2 with the latest Wine version available for GW2. Also using NVIDIA binary driver - version 331.38 from nvidia-331 (propiretary, tested). I selected this driver via the Addition Drivers window. By the way my card is Nvidia GeForce 550Ti.
    Any ideas on how I could fix this?

    Moved to Wine.


    This looks like it might be a Wine-specific problem. Let's see if someone can help with that first.

    Hey I just fought to get my Guild ways running so this might help you. Mine kept crashing as soon as it started and it would lock up my entire laptop. What I had to do was get the .dat file from someone else's computer and replace mine with it. You will need a flash drive with atleast 21gb free and you will have to format it to NFTS. Just copy the file and replace yours with it. I also had to run it as an emulated desktop.
