Guild Wars 2 Forum

Hi all!
I've crossover 11.2.1 (with official licence), I've an iMac late 2009 with Intel core i7 2,8ghz 16gb ram and ATI Radeon HD 4850 512Mb, I installed GW2 following the crossover wizard (creating a new bottle) and I run it with "-dx9single", I edited my registry adding the following keys:

But nothing, I still have a trouble with the characters, they are distorted with a lot of rendering troubles as you can see in the following snapshot, all other things are ok, the background and the fps are ok

there is a way to fix it?

I'm not sure if this will make a difference or why I even have these registry edits here buttt..
In regedit go HKCU>>Software>>Wine>>AppDefaults>>GW2.exe (if you don;t have it then create it) then create a new KEY inside GW2.exe called Direct3D and put the SafeVsConsts enable and VideoMemorySize 512 in there as well. It might help? Otherwise I just have some redundant duplicate keys. But it can't hurt to try. Also make sure that those registry edits are being run in the same bottle as GW2 is.

Thank's but nothing change.
There was already SafeVsConsts = enable in HKCU>>Software>>Wine>>AppDefaults>>GW2.exe i just added the VideoMemorySize = 512 but nothing change, I tried to add other keys as in HKCU>>Software>>Wine>>Direct3D but nothing...

This is the same issue I am having as well.

news?

I'm having this problem too!

I'm using a 15-inch early 2011 Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256 MB.

There is a newer build here, try downloading this one and replacing your current one with it (be sure to read the new instructions in that post as well). This removes the need for -dx9single so it might make some kind of difference?

Many hacks - in particular the one that makes the 'FixedVShaderLimit' reg edit do anything at all - are only present in the 'special' guild wars 2 build referenced in the top 'read me first' forum posting.

If you are running plain vanilla cx 11.2.1, things likely will not work well (on a Mac, anyway).

I'm actually using the new build. :\

I had this same kind of distorted graphics until I did the registry updates listed in "HowTo: Adding Registry values" at the top of this forum. One post said the registry tweaks may not be needed with the latest GuildWars2 Crossover build from 8/30, but the graphical glitches made the game almost unplayable until I did them. I did not do just one, but all of them at once, so I can't honestly say which one did the trick. My framerate is pretty low. It's in the 12-15 fps range, but it's playable now on the lowest settings. I am not seeing any of the rain problems mentioned either.

I removed everything but FixedVShaderLimit. It seemed to be the most important one for me. I have it set at 275. I'm not sure if playing with this number will help, but that is a default I have seen a few people using.

i'm dowloading it but looks like old than my crossover version

I'm also seeing similar distortion, but only with the latest build. I was able to play fine with the previous GuildWars 2 test build, but this one gives me a lot of graphics issues.

I followed the regedit instructions up through this point and it fixed my problem also.

I can confirm that the stretched-graphic issues were solved for me by adding Sebastian's registry edits to the Crossover 11.2 "Guild Wars 2 special build."
