  • Forget Wine for GW2. If you are lazy just install Steam & add GW2 as an external game to run with Proton.

    If you are not lazy, then install Bottles, give it permissions to the correct GW2 folder with Flatseal & then download the soda 7 runner in Bottles settings. After all this make a default gaming bottle, then change the runner in that bottle to soda 7, enable latency flex to lower the latency at the cost of slightly lower average fps & play. (7 is better than 8-9 for GW2)

    (Bottles has some minor advantages over Steam & you don’t have to run the rather vram heavy & slow Steam client)







  • You are completely right, they’ve dropped the ball. Of course it’s open source, so the devs are not duty bound to keep the system running well. it’s just that my trust is shaken that I could just set up grandma’s computer with this and not need to maintain it…

    These days even Apple and Microsoft struggle with testing their updates and pushing out updates that are not broken or system breaking. Maybe the grans of the world should just become more tech savvy. ;)

    Then again if long term Fedora immutable systems only fail like this once every two years, then we are not really worse than needing to deal with Windows Rot.
