I would love to be able to play on my Linux(main) partition. GW2 crashes a lot on wine and does not run very well on a VB. It’s annoying having to switch to my Windows partition to play… In fact the only reason I still have a Windows partition is because I love GW2 soooooo much! C’mon devs! I’ll give you a dollar if you do it

Hey! We recently had a thread about this in the forums. You should find many answers there.

I’ll link you the post I wrote, basically because I concentrated on gw2 with wine (which usually runs quite well).

Also just to make sure you have read this wiki page:

I also experienced a lot of performance gain by playing on a lightweight DE, like xfce4 or openbox.

The only thing I still think gw2 on wine lacks is proper performance when a lot of players are around. In other areas I’m now getting stable 20-30fps with wine-staging (1.9.x), CSMT enabled on Apricity OS (Arch). I always use PlayOnLinux for that and I created a soft link to the gw2.dat so that it doesn’t occupy double disk space.
