I realize that installations of GW2 via Wine in Linux may not be supported by Arenanet, but I was hoping some of you users might know what I should do. I have two issues, but the main one I’d like to resolve right now is that while in wine using the emulated desktop option (which is the only way I can get the game to run without crashing the computer) I cannot use my keyboard. On Play on Linux this wasn’t an issue but now with Wine it has become an issue.

Does anyone have any advice?

I’d recommend that you repost this “players helping players” or even the tech forum (it’s not a bug, since Wine isn’t supported by ANet).

I’ve seen a number of guides posted on reddit for getting GW2 to work with Wine, so I’d also try searching there. Here’s a google parameter search for that:

Good luck.

If you are using ubuntu 16.04 64bits use the wine-staging 2.4 from https://wine-staging.com/installation.html#distro_ubuntu
I´m playing almost like playing on windows, just a little loss of fps.

Edit: you can use the wine-staging from POL too
