I run Ubuntu 13.04 100% at home and I am now looking at the switch to Debian 7 instead. Since I use Wine to play GW1 and GW2 I do have a low fps, max of 17 (on medium settings. 6 to 9 fps with highest options). I am using a six core amd processor and a HD Raedon 7750 v-card. When I let the options choose the settings for my system it maxes everything out. Looks great, runs very very slow. I run Teamspeak simultainiously with GW2. My biggest problem is that the system locks up at random times. Only GW locks up and freezes my input from the keyboard and mouse, Teamspeak continues to run without a problem. I am hoping that going to a straight Debian system will fix some of this issue. I play other mmo’s on the same system and GW is the only one that has the lock up issues. I am hopeful that a native Linux port would help me to address this problem. I have three copies of GW1 (all four titles each) and GW2 at our house for my wife, son, and myself. And yes I would be willing to buy the game again to get a native port. I do use gem cards, a lot in fact; so does my wife. If only the developers would support Opengl, and maybe work a little with the wine project, then perhaps our experience of this game would get better as well.
Thank you.
