Guild Wars 2

Will the expansion be available to play on the GW2 Mac client? I’m sure it will be, just making sure.

What date does the festival end?

You guys never seem to read the previous pages !?! There IS a quick temporary solution called CROSSOVER!! I’m using it right now to sell my stuff at least till the new patch OR till they fix it.

I saw it.

Don’t make any logical error. Why not we play by a PC?

We go to a restaurant and order steak. But a hamburger comes out. The chef says hamburger beef and steak are the same when they are digested in your stomach. What a joke.

I agree. Crossover is a temporary fix. Temporary. Until Anet makes a fix, we will never be able to completely play the game. So, Anet, PLEASE give us at least SOME info on the fix.

Any idea how many Mac players there are?

TEMPORARY SOLUTION:

Just for the heads up, I made some diggings the whole night figuring out how to use the “crossover” and I finally made it.

TP is WORKING over CROSSOVER, but unfortunately the game is NON-playable for me. The client is so glitchy and slow, but selling and purchasing is possible as you can see in the attachment.

So what I did is gathering all what I wanted to sell in my bank, and I made one login thru crossover made the selling and purchased what I wanted and then came back to my mac client version and kept playing.

I KNOW it’s not the best solution but it worked for me and I will accept it temporary better than waiting all this time.

If you are interested how I did it:

- Download Crossover & install it.
- Downloaded GW2 “WINDOWS” Version
- Run Crossover and choose “install a windows application”
- Choose the installer which is located in “Guild Wars 2” folder in your desktop.
- You need to choose a “bottle” which is somehow a folder inside crossover to run the game. Simply choose a name and the supported windows you like. For me it worked automatically at winxp/winVista. Then hit INSTALL.
- Crossover will run the launcher you will see a quick downloading follows by an update then the real downloading which will show you somehow around 127,000 files. At that time STOP the downloading and close it. Then close crossover.
- Go to your Mac Version GW2 in you applications folder, right click then choose “show package contents”.
- Go to > Contents > Resources > transgaming > c_drive > GW2. then COPY all it’s contents into the folder > /$USER/Library/Application Support/Crossover/Bottles/GW2Setup.exe/drive_c/Program Files/ ( create a folder in here and call it “Guild Wars 2”. ) This is like 19GB I KNOW :/

- For me what I randomly did, is right click on GW2.exe and OPEN WITH > CROSSOVER

Crossover ran the launcher without downloading anything and the game started. Again it’s not playable for me, but I managed to make the TP & GEM Store works …. Temporary

Hope that I helped somehow

So, you use CROSSOVER to use Trading, however to play you use the standard client?

Never patches for Mac Beta? BTW, why the hell is it still in beta? Lol

I hope there’s a fix on Tuesday

I also have some bugs with Trading. It either stays blank or the content is pure HTML, with no CSS.
It’s really annoying. Any ideas how to quick fix it until a patch?
