Guild Wars 2 Forum

Arena.net is planning a Guild Wars 2 beta weekend event for April 27. From the blog:

This is a public event, which means that you’re not bound by a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). So go ahead, feel free to take screenshots, shoot video, blog, tweet, write, or compose a rock opera to share your Guild Wars 2 experience with the world.

This would be a great opportunity for someone to experiment with the game in Crossover and write about their findings.

I plan to 😊

I will also do so beta weekend. Can't wait!

Well i have bootcamp plus CX, so i hope they give us ample time to download and if so i will download on both CX and windows partition before Friday. My partition has higher priority though because I want to make sure I will be able to play at least, but if I have time I will do both.

I'm happy to say I just began to download the game and the .exe file for the Beta is running nicely in a Vista Bottle. Yah!

Spoke too soon, Crashed twice now about 5 min runtime each time. Gonna try different bottles to see what happens.

I'm having the same problem, in the error logs it states this:

--> Error Logs <--
GetLogicalProcessorInformation failed, increase buffer bytes to 1536
Download failed for 0x0002f3aa:0x00000000->0x0002f3aa with error 7:0:0:0 (error:product:module:line) [tries left: 5]

In the log it also states my system memory:

--> System Memory <--
Physical: 1535MB/ 2048MB 74%
Paged: 3070MB/ 3583MB 85%
Virtual: 4093MB/ 4093MB 100%
Load: 25%

Take note of the physical memory. I'm only guessing this might be the problem, but I have no idea what I can do about it. Does anyone have any suggestions or questions about the error log?

edit

Using different bottles seem to have no effect.

Lol, I get the same memory stats. Weird.

At the botton it says:

--> Error Logs <--
GetLogicalProcessorInformation failed, increase buffer bytes to 1536
Download failed for 0x0002db6c:0x00000000->0x0002db6c with error 7:0:0:0 (error:product:module:line) [tries left: 5]

That mean anything to anyone?

This is the log Crossover gives me with none of the check boxes checked:

The program crashes more often now... =(

Is it possible that Codeweavers needs a copy of the client to address the issue?

No idea but they should have it, I guess they are supposed to buy the game to work on it and prepaying the app allows you automatically the access to the beta.

As an FYI, we're gearing up to do some extensive testing on Friday (and onwards) in conjunction with the Beta Weekend event. We don't have any good answers, yet, but believe me - we know how important this game is!

We have pre-paid, yes. For games that we really, really want to support we always buy our own copy. However, since buying copies of every windows game that's requested of us would make a serious dent in our financials, this is all very case-by-case. GW2 is an extra super important case.

If you really feel the need to post the output of a log file and it is more than a few lines long please select the entire output and then click the "#code" button so that the thread is more legible.

We do not actually need any output at this time and if we do we will request it, I promise. We are doing our best and know you are all excited.

People having issues with the downloader crashing, if you just keep reopening it, it will fully download. I'm staring at the login screen as we speak.

It takes quite a few restarts to get through... yesterday it took 19 on my Mac system. This seems to be a documented problem even on Windows machines that are properly set up (users that have run Gw2.exe & Gw2.dat set with read/write permission running Gw2.exe as admin). My Linux system is nearly complete (currently with 17 restarts). It could just be a while. If your client is not downloading at all you may be experiencing additional trouble like in this forum thread (http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7951;forum=1;msg=124928). If that is the case please chime in there or send an email to ninjas@codeweavers.com and we will do our best to help.

It´s the missing admin rights. It makes the same errors on windows without admin rights.
I think it would be cool if you can include this as a feature in Crossover.

I installed completely under Boot Camp (Win7) and copied the data over to Mac/Crossover. Then it just starts fine directly.

So, I've downloaded the full beta client with the crashing method and no more patching needs to be done.
(using Winxp bottle)

Now I've hit another problem. When the game tries to open, it gives the same serious error that occurs as with the crashing issue during downloading.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a solution present?

Thanks in advance!

Kinda brute force to launch multiple times the install process but the game is ready to go now here.
I installed the GW polices and directX9 also.

Straining at the leash. Had this pre-ordered for like 2 years, lol

It's open early! Yah!

EDIT: I'm having problems with the rain. It's coming down so hard it whites everything out. Also, slow. Not sure if Its the server or my machine. Can't find where it states the ping.

I have the white rain also. Though I'm able to see enough to get through that stage of the tutorial. Things also tend to lag and are a bit choppy. I'm on a Macbook Pro i7 2.8 GT330M. 10.7.3. Playing windowed.

EDIT:
Changing to full screen at a lower resolution seemed to run significantly better for me. I think it was 1200 x 800ish. Some where in there. Previously I was using Windowed mode and had a very difficult time doing with lag.

Lots of people complaining about the lag. Played for an hour and my thoughts are:

-Too many people in one world, makes for a super laggy experience.
-Too many people fighting one monster makes for the monster being dead before I have a chance to cast a single spell.

• Pay to be revived at the teleporter points?
• Rain in the beginning is annoying. Once you get though the mission it stops though.

-On the bright side, in areas where there wasn't too many people the game ran brilliantly. Though the FPS needs to increase...

I agree with this as well though i wonder if its a crossover thing or the game code itself , i'll have to try in windows 7 to see later this weekend.

I just wanted to confirm that I have the lag issue too, as well as the white rain. I did comment about this in the survey prompts that came up during the initial battle with the centaurs, I was confused and unable to act coherently and I'm sure everyone thought I was some crazy dude spinning in circles and trying to figure out the controls with the blinding rain coming down. I solved some of the lag by dropping all of the resolution settings as much as possible, except for the full screen.

I have the white rain and it was so bad I couldn't even play. I went to windows 7 partition and tried to transfer my .dat file across but it just always tries to redownload it from scratch (25 hours worth). So basically I cannot play BWE.. :( Not that anyone can sign in right now anyway. TERA must be laughing lol. I hope codeweavers can sort out this white rain issue as well as the resizing window with just white screen issue because I really hate windows. I hope they can do it before May 4th because I have a 20% off coupon to buy it and yeah.. lol Right now it doesn't look promising for crossover :(

We have to give them time to solve the issue. I installed DirectX Runtime - Modern from the "manage bottles" dialogue, and now it's lagging a lot less, and I'm able to get more done. But that might be because I was in the overflow server, idk.

I have some artifacts, problems about 3D so.

I'm getting a lot of graphical artifacts as well in the form of trigangular "rays" extending out from some objects. I used to see this in the original Guild Wars, but it was fixed in Crossover some time ago (at least for that game).

I also seem to be able to get the game to crash consistently after login at the character screen when it's in full-screen mode. If I switch to windowed mode at the login screen, then no crash (Mac OS X 10.7.3, CrossOver 11.0.3).

I also seem to be able to get the game to crash consistently in the "Welcome Home" instance (human character storyline) at what I'm guessing is the end of the conversation between Lord Faren and my character.

I don't have the 3d or artifact issues, but often during the dialogue sequences the characters and their respective subtitles appear faded, or not at all, even though you can hear them just fine. And for some reason, I got this email about how I can get free gems in the gem store, but there's no link to "get more gems" in the gem store and all of the tabs are empty except for the second one from the bottom. I thought this might possibly be ArenaNet's issue, so I did shoot them a support email about it as well.

Are you on Mac or Linux? And have you done anything different than people here on the forums? Also, have you been in an area when it's raining and had no problems? Just trying to find a solution.

The gems store issue seems to be a crossover thing. When i tried it in windows 7 the gem store was in the tab but of course it didnt work it gave an "unspecified error" message when i attempted to get the free gems.
It looks like this time around they built the store directly into the game interface unlike with GW1 where the store interface wasnt buil into the game one while you were playing.
