    Guild Wars 2

    Alright, I have a dual-boot setup and since I usually game on my Windows partition, I thought I'd save some time and try to game from Ubuntu (since I use it the most anyway) without a reboot into Windows.

    I downloaded Wine 1.4 and tried running GW2 and after a couple seconds of downloading, I was greeted to a very tall black box. If I hovered my mouse over certain aspects of the box, the curser changed to show me that an invisible box entry was there (most likely username or password).

    I have tried launching the old launcher with the: wine gw2.exe -oldlauncher or something like that and had no luck.

    Here is a little more detail about what happened:
    My input:
    /media/System/Program Files (x86)/Guild Wars 2$ wine gw2.exe -useoldlauncher

    My Output:

    I'm running 8GB RAM and a GeForce GTX560, and a 2nd gen i5 on my system so I doubt hardware is the culprit. Supposedly, GTX560 drivers are decently supported by Ubuntu. Any ideas?

    Re: Guild Wars 2

    The use of -dx9single should avoid the black flickering. There is a bug report on WineHQ about it and somebody is already working on this problem.

    But you will encounter a few another problems if you continue. For example the installation will crash randomly. Wine has even some trouble with multithreading which will impact the performance of Guild Wars 2 heavily (Oh wait, I got a warning on WineHQ for this because they said I'm lying. Then all should be fine and you will surely have no performance problems ).

    There is even a problem with chromium based applications and https connections. This means that you can't use the gem trading thingy menu. But there is an inofficial patch that will solve this problem. But I recommend you to use the newest Wine version because it supports Raw Input (otherwise you can't move around with the mouse).
