Guild Wars 2

The latest update of the client seems quite a bit more stable.

Thanks for putting efforts into a native mac client. Frequent crashes and subpar performance (compared to bootcamp) here on 2 fully specced mac sierra systems from 2012: a macbook pro retina and an imac.

Out of curiosity, has any Mac OS X user tried Parallels Desktop for Mac?

It supports 64 bit windows, allows you to boot into your mac operating system and you would be able to install 64 bit Guild Wars.

Its been a long time since I used Parallels, however just thinking, it could run Gw2 just as good as w.i.n.e. with the added bonus of accessing more memory due to 64bit support.

Unfortunately it is an additional cost so I am unwilling to purchase it just to test a theory as I do not play games on OSX. However if someone already uses parallels desktop or has access to it, I would be intrigued to find out how Gw2 performs with it.

It’s been a long time for me too, but I have used it in 32bit mode. And I remember performance being on par with both the regular mac beta client and a wine client. I opted for the beta client because it was just less of a fuss.
Now, running the whole OS virtually makes things feel rather unresponsive. But I had lots of cores and memory to spare which made graphic performance okay.

Parallels 64 bit should work though. And the client just not crashing would be incentive enough to give it another try. Also my fusion drive doesn’t work in bootcamp. So I have huge loading times in bootcamp and okay performance, but okay loading times and terrible performance + crashes on the mac client.

The mac client is unplayable. I have to maintain a bootcamp install just for GW2.

I was in LA overflow, talked to Tixx, received nothing. Next I responded to the travel queue message, got into LA proper, only to find an opened chest and no gift whatsoever.
