My current experience is “alright”(3.6 GHz Intel Core i9), but not fantastic.

Your processor is slow (raw speed) so that could very well be an issue here. In this case the raw speed of your processor matters, so that is a limiting factor. It is my understanding that GW2 relies heavily on a single thread of the CPU, and doesn’t offload a lot to the GPU or multiple threads. Another big part is simply the speed of the emulation (via WINE). Internet speed and stability are part of the picture. This is a bit trickier to answer because there are several factors involved.

My questions: Do the lags go away? Maybe after the full game is downloaded? Or is it due to a bad internet having aĬertainly if you’re trying to play while it’s still downloading content you will have lag. That the cause for that lie usally in the firewall- or router(wireless local area network)-settings, the securityapplications or the connection over a universitynetwork¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I should go to GW2-support site. That the game-client could not access the login server. Nethertheless I played for over a Year successfully with a MacBook Air early 2014 which is quite the same i listed, concerning it’s processor and graphics, even a bit worse.īut then the screen went white and there was a window and it said: Maybe this is due to the bad device i’m playing on or my internet connection. It lagged a lot and I wouldn’t be able to play seriously or doing anything else then checking my inventar. I was able to play it for a couple of minutes on the lowest graphics settings that were possible. Hey thanks for your friendly and detailed guide! I hope it works for you and I’ll see you around Tyria! If you have any feedback on ways to improve this process or ways to improve perfromance, please leave a comment below.

It might not be good enough for competitive PvP or WvW though. It’s definitely slower than the native client was, but so far it’s playable for me.

Participating in large events can be slow – not too surprising since it used to happen before anyways.

It then plays all the events that happened while “paused” and launches you across the map… This used to happen with the old macOS client, but seemed to have been fixed in the native one.

Sometimes your character ends up mounting inside the ground & it takes a while to resolve itself.

(Twice in the three weeks I’ve been playing with this version?)

I get a very occasional crash when switching maps.

Not that big a problem since it handles the resolution properly in-game.

Because I set Retina Mode on, the main Guild Wars 2 login screen is tiny.

You’ll probably get a dialog complaining about something and you’ll have to click another button that says Open.

the latest WineskinServer (v1.8.4.2 at the time of writing – there’s a link under “Manually installation” (sic))ĭecompress the file we just downloaded by double-clicking it, right-click the Wineskin Winery.app, and select Open.

the 64-bit version of the Guild Wars 2 Windows installer from ArenaNet.

This looks like a lot, but I’ve just been incredibly verbose for those that need a bit more direction. I’ll step through everything I did to get Guild Wars 2 up-and-running at a reasonable framerate for me.

This worked alright as well, a bit better than the PlayOnMac one, but didn’t have any nice config & install capabilities like some of the wrappers do. The next thing I tried was a straight Wine build – version 6.5 (wine-devel-6.5-os圆4) which I downloaded from here.

They fixed the download problem in 4.4.2, but they made that version require macOS 10.15+ for some reason.

#RUN WINDOWS PROGRAMS ON MAC USING WINE CODE#

It worked alright for general PvE, but it was still too slow even on basic graphics settings and the code to install different WINE versions was broken. The first thing I tried was PlayOnMac 4.4.1.

So it really should be able to handle this really old game… What I Tried Note: Click on the images for larger versions.

#RUN WINDOWS PROGRAMS ON MAC USING WINE HOW TO#

In this post I’ll explain how to set it up. I tried several ways to run Guild Wars 2 using Wine before finding one that works for me. It wasn’t as good as when they released a 64-bit native client, but it worked for a time. The old macOS 32-bit Guild Wars 2 client actually used a version of Wine to run. Running in a virtual machine like VMWare or Parallels is too slow, so that leaves some form of Wine which is a Windows compatibility layer. There are several ways to run the Windows client on a Mac including dual-booting Windows with Bootcamp, but that’s not an option for me.
