Guild Wars 2

No change for me, other then that I now receive an entry in console after I try to start the client and nothing happens (NNNN replaces my 4 digit user ID in the log):

Thanks @Magoo, I presume you don’t have this issue then

The problem seems to be caused by a binding problem of wine. Would have been easy if a missing folder was the reason behind it. I hope Transgaming has an idea of what creates this binding issue…

I have the exact same problem. I’m using mountain lion on a mid 2011 27-inch model with AMD HD6970M

I think this is related to the use of Cider as I had the exact same problem when trying out EVE on the mac earlier this year (still on Lion at the time). I can run the GW2 client in Wine, but that has serious performance issues.

Note, my mac is a client of an OSX Server using mobile accounts with local user folders.

Of note is that cider seems to be unable to bind wineserver – when I run cider from the terminal I see the following error message:

prompt$ /Applications/Guild\ Wars\ 2.app/Contents/MacOS/cider ; exit;
2012-09-19 19:37:28.507 cider[733:707] regapi failed: 1
wineserver: bind : Invalid argument
logout

I had a similar wine server bind error message in the EVE log at the time I tried out EVE. This never got resolved by the EVE support team though.

Furthermore, when looking at settings in “/Applications/Guild\ Wars\ 2.app/Contents/Resources/Preferences/config” I see the following section:

[wine]
"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
"System" = "c:\\windows\\system32\\"
"Temp" = "e:\\"
"Path" = "c:\\windows\\;c:\\windows\\system32\\"
"GraphicsDriver" = "macdrv"
"ShellLinker" = "/usr/lib/transgaming_cedega/winex/bin/wineshelllink"

However, the ShellLinker path does not exist on my system. There is no transgaming folder in “/usr/lib/”.
