Guild Wars 2 Forum

Hi there,
I am hoping one of the gurus out there can help me with setting up my Guild Wars 2 install so I have shortcuts. I have installed the alternate Crossover version and downloaded and installed Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 12.10. However, Crossover did not create any shortcuts. I can run the program by reinstalling or "running" the exe with the alternate Crossover install - so playing the game isn't a problem. My problem is that I'd like to have a shortcut that I can simply double click, ala the standard "create launcher" function in Crossover. When I've tried "create launcher" it has not placed a shortcut on my desktop.

Does anyone have tips on ways to get a launcher via Crossover, or a way to write a path into my Ubuntu shortcut that forces the exe to run in the alternate crossover version rather than the default (which attempts to reinstall GW2 in the standard Crossover)?

I hope my questions make sense. I am semi-computer literate so am willing to get my hands dirty with scripts if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can furnish.

Cheers!

It took me about 3 tries to get a shortcut on the desktop, unfortunately as you have discovered trying to create via the "Manage Bottles" launcher doesnt work.
Instead here is what i did, was launch "Manage Bottles" then instead of selecting "Run Command" instead go to the "Application Tab" and click "Install Software" from with there select "Guild Wars 2" from "Unsupported Applications->Community Supported Applications" next use either the installer provided by Arenanet or the installation disc and click install.
You arent creating a new install of the game with this but instead are trying for a complete one. After the install finishes you should now have a Guild Wars 2 desktop icon.
This was the only way i could get a desktop icon on my system which is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
