This may not be the right thread to ask, but perhaps there’s someone who has experienced the same thing.
I’ve been playing GW2 since the release on my Mac and recently I decided to try in on a Windows machine and I can’t get along with the controls. I can’t use my mouse (left button, while holding it to point etc) for character movement/directions as I used to. I never paid much attention to it but it seems that Mac beta has some additional settings which Windows version does not, see attached screenshot:
When playing on my Mac I used only the left mouse button to point direction and use it in combat. The right mouse button was rarely used.
So right now I’m forced to use both buttons instead. I tried searching for some fix or settings configuration, could not find anything useful except suggestions to macro keys on my mouse. Unfortunately my mouse does not have that kind of software.
I thought maybe someone of the Mac games who switched to a PC has experienced the same thing and found a solution.
It might also be that I have been playing with the wrong controls/settings this whole time xD.
Thanks!
TL;DR
Is it possible to get same mouse (LMB) configuration on Windows client as on Mac beta?
Same as above, my launcher refuses to launch. I’ve pressed the icon and waited hours but it doesn’t appear. I’ve also deleted and re-downloaded the client at least 5 times but not one attempt has worked.
Try killing the GW2 process via Activity Monitor, worked for me. Just select GW and click X icon on the left “Force process to quit”. Then wait a few seconds (game will disappear from activity list) and you can relaunch the game.
I don’t have this issue often but this does solved it for me, hope this helps.
Come on Anet, respond already! I wonder if they read this or perhaps threads/posts with “mac” gets filtered away.
You really start to appreciate the game when you spend 1.5 hours doing Dragon’s Stand meta, only to see it crash at last moment…(3rd time, 2nd day trying) AND after you try to rejoin your squad it just … wait for it.. yeah, gives you another error.
“Game crashed for random reason & kitten you!” < Should be there as an error message. Honest information for once.
Acknowledge and fix the mess, 3year and going.. sad joke.
Why am I still playing this?
The lack of response/care and any decent basic information for the Mac users is just so sad. They could have at least, before launching HoT, be honest to its customers and mac gamers especially for once and say something like:
Yes, our so called/promoted ‘beta’ client is piece of crap and we now it, we stopped looking into it for quite some time and so please understand that we wont be supporting it in the near future. Done.
I would accept this and then decide wether to buy expansion/reconsider bootcamp or just face reality, that the current situation won’t change and just try playing (if you can call it that by now) until game won’t start at all, over silence and occasional bs replies like “I do want to assure you all that we are actively fixing bugs on all clients.”.
Same here, random game shut-downs, freeze / crashing and “c000005” error (which I never experienced before) after updating latest patch today.
This is ridiculous, after 3 weeks of bs with FPS issue now comes new bug which makes it impossible to play. Game just crashed several times within 30min on WvW…
Let’s hope that there’s a hotfix underway =[
