Guild Wars 2

everytime I start the game on my Mac. Coherent_UI_Host crashes without fail. This is on iMac. The ghostly shadows are a pain and crashes occur after a while due to memory?. GW2 is not handling itself properly if I have iTunes playing music in the background. It acts up and usually crashes.

Jennah thought she was being too smart when she let Cadecaus live after we proved his betrayal earlier in the game. I hope she dies as part of living world

I got fed up of the crashes on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) that I decided to try out Wine. The graphics are not as good as the one you get with the Mac client and frame rates are low, but the game is stable. The annoying issue is with the graphic objects nearby not rendering quickly and I am yet to figure that out. I used wine-2.0-rc5 (staging) and got the 64bit support installed. Then I installed the beta of the 64 bit Windows client and after it started patching, I copied the gw2.dat file from my Mac installation directory over. A point to note is that I didn’t set the “UseGLSL” to ‘disabled’. Just dont create that key or the game doesn’t launch. Hope this helps someone.

+1 for new Mac client. Nothing can be worse than a crash and losing the instance. I feel like a masochist right now playing regularly with all the crashes. But I am not going to install Windows for GW2 and deal with its associated problems.

The latest update has helped in reducing crashes for me. Fixed one bug and introduced another? Hoping that it will get sorted out soon. Unable to enjoy HOT fully.

I spent most of the weekend on verdant brink playing a tempest and while I didn’t mind the class changes, the amount of defects in the map events were unacceptable. None of the major events worked. Makes me wonder why the developers didn’t spend an additional week fixing the map before exposing it to the public. Beta shouldn’t mean “stuff that doesn’t work at all”. It should mean “stuff that may have defects”.

Hoping that the next public beta will be better.

I think the new mechanism is a good change. It should have been this way from the start.
