Guild Wars 2

In 2012, I was ridiculously excited for not only the release of Guild Wars 2, but also the subsequent release on the Mac platform. Needless to say, the past 3 years have been heartbreaking…

Even still, I tried to come back to GW2 on several occasions… I want to love this game, but I literally can’t right now. At best, I could get somewhere less than an hour worth of gameplay… then the client would crash.

At this point, I can’t even launch the game beyond the login client. I have tried reinstalling the entire game and running the repair via the recommended terminal repair:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe –repair

No success.

Here is the glorious wall of text that I am met with upon login…. Please help.

Thank you for starting this thread. I have been having this issue as well since the beta client’s release. Lately, with higher traffic in areas, I have been experiencing them more frequently. I would concur that most of my crashes have taken place in high traffic/high graphic detail areas.

System Specs: Early ’09 Mac Pro, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB, OS X 10.8.2

Though in the grand scheme of things that actually matter in life, these crash (while ruining in one time game events) aren’t life ruining events, they just take away from the joy of experiencing the game Anet has worked so hard to bring us. I’m grateful for the chance to play GW2 on my favorite system and I will keep pushing the limits of the beta client in hopes that the information from my crash logs helps Anet make a better, more stable one.

Until that time when a well-oiled, native Mac Client exists, has anyone found a solution/fix/jimmy-rigged-duct-tape-and-popsicle-sticks-work-around other than running via Bootcamp or avoiding high-traffic events?
