Guild Wars 2 Forum

With beta weekend events coming up, it would be nice if those who get accepted test the launcher of the game. I know pre purchasers get guaranteed access to BWEs in April and thereafter so that would be an ideal time. As well, as mentioned in another thread, codeweavers or wine for that matter should ask Anet for beta access. Meanwhile, it would help if mac/linux people who get invited to the beta test it to see if getting GW2 to run on mac or linux is even plausible. Give your thoughts and comments.

As I understand it, you are probhibited during the closed beta to even mention that you are in the beta, so my guess is that you will find little information here where you can be backtracked.

As far as I understand it though, GW2 is based on the GW1 engine, and if you poke around a bit, there are various reports that the beta is running on wine, albeit with low fps. That is not a big worry though since optimizing often is done at the end of development, and more often than not, improved on with updates...

Looking good!
