    Re: How I got Guild Wars working in Wine 0.9.23


    this is my everlasting issue. my headache and madness. now i tried running the game in a friends house and guess what? WORKED FROM THE GET GO! i was able to log in five times in a row. i opened up all the ports in my firewall, i allowed EVERYTHING to be open and nothing at all. i dunno if it's an issue with wine, or an issue with the router.
    running in terminal with debug i had this error at the end when i got the above picture/error:

    Code:
    fixme:winsock:WSACancelAsyncRequest

    Re: How I got Guild Wars working in Wine 0.9.23

    someone in this thread suggested to have a look at
    http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_on_Wine

    i used that Wine configuration and launcher setting.
    Code:
    WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -windowed
    it works and now the Alt key is useable again
    i did not use the -dx8 -noshaders
    lets hope it solves my mouse dissappearing problem.

    Extra configuration

    The process above will in the majority of cases land you with a working Guild Wars installation. However, for those systems where this doesn't happen, or where you are unsatisfied with the performance and want to try tinkering with the settings to get a better game experience, the following instructions may help.
    [edit] Tuning wine

    Start winecfg and, if your hardware supports it, configure the following options.

    In the Graphics tab Allow Pixel Shader and set Vertex Shader Support to Hardware. Also it is highly recommended that Allow the window manager to control the window be disabled, this will prevent common desktop hotkey to activate during play. (eg: Switch desktop, cycle window, ...)

    In the Audio tab enable the driver that support your audio hardware, ALSA Driver will work in most installation. The following audio options are recommended, Hardware Acceleration select Emulation and make sure Driver Emulation is checked.
    [edit] Configuring Gw.exe

    The Wine implementation of Microsoft DirectX9 can be lacking. If that is the case, try running Gw.exe with the flags -dx8 -noshaders. You can also change the Windows version Wine emulates in the Wine Configuration panel. Several people have better luck getting it to work in Windows 98 mode than others. However this mode causes a massive number of graphics anomalies since the Eye of the North updates. It is possible to force Guild Wars to run in a window instead of fullscreen; this can be useful if you run into problems. To do this the flag -windowed is added to the gw.exe command. We will use this until we are satisfied with the results.

    Also because Wine will generate a lot of debugging output when running, this can slow the game, environment variable WINEDEBUG will be set to -all (minus all) to prevent any debug output on the console.

    Code:
    WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -windowed

    Figured I'd jump in and contribute absolutely nothing. GW running fantastic but pretty ugly. Gutsy, Dell Dimension 4700C, wine .9.46.

    well i gave up trying to run it. it just won't connect at all. even after opening the ports, changing into a ethernet cable, et cetera et cetera.
    i believe then, that it could be my router. it's a 2wire 1800 hw build 3.5.36.

    i did however, tried out at my friends house. she's got the same brand but a newer model and the game connected and it runs fine. *sigh* guess i should start saving up for a new router

    2wire routers are a real pain in the rear. When I was at Dell, we all hated those calls

    Umm... I've tried to do everything what is said in the first post and the debug-thingy, but all I get is this screen:



    The screen is quite much messed up as one can see + It's damn laggy.
    So does anyone know what should I do?
