Guild Wars 2

not sure if there is a new mac client but today my game crashed and then when it relaunched it started to download “tgupdate client 1.11”

is that a new mac client update?

Yes this update appears to have fixed the Gem Store bug that would not allow Mac users to buy gems. I’m not sure if it fixed other things because I have not tested/looked for any other changes yet.

I just had this start installing also, my client was exited correctly last time it was run though.

Ooohh! So excited, I’ve been busy all day and was looking forward to some good news and here it is!!! Can’t wait tobegin downloading and checking for laser hawks tag! ;p

Hawks still have laser beams o.O

Hm, first time I tried to exit to desktop the game crashed (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)). Tried it again and it crashed the WindowServer. Rebooted and it works without crashing.

That’s odd, keep tabs and see if it continues… Or maye it just need a reboot to be happy ;p

Haha I thought this was just on my comp… laser hawk!

In sadder news, my client is having real problems launching since the update. Usually takes me 2-5 times launch to get game started, now its more like 5-10. Even have deleted library files, but that never really worked for me anyways.

One big suggestion I can make, go into the contents of your Guild Wars 2 app and copy the GW2.dat file (should be about 17GB) to your desktop then delete all of GW2, the app itself and the application support folder. Re-download it from the website and begin the install, but instead of letting it redownload all the files just take the copy of your gw2.dat file that you made and put it back inside the new gw2.app. That way you force everything to purge except for the game data itself which shouldn’t have any issues.

FYI,
I just deleted the standard ~/Library/Application Support/Guild Wars 2 folder, did a SMC Reset for good measure and downloaded this patch.

Perhaps it’s just s fluke, but the client is actually running WAY better for me now. If nothing else I’m just thrilled that ArenaNet pushed a patch to the Mac Client, tells me we’re not totally forgotten.

I recently deleted Bootcamp. The performance was close enough (~5fps) that I would just rather run it in OS X (10.8.5 right now). Granted I can’t run FXAA, High Textures or High-Res Characters but the tradeoff of not having bootcamp is worth it to me. Just a FWIW/FYI/SA kind of thing.

The OSX client does let you use FXAA though…. O_o

I had to login to verify but FXAA can be selected for me under Anti-Aliasing. Is there a reason you cannot access it? It does indeed “Blur” the jaggies out when turned on so I don’t think it’s just a placebo for me.
