Hangs while using Unity but not Gnome3

I haven't seen this here in the forum, but please point me to the thread if I missed it.

I can start and play GW2 when I'm using Gnome3 -- and if memory serves, I think using Cinnamon too. But, whenever I try to launch GW2 while I'm using Unity it freezes up the system. This occurs on both of my machines. One is running Ubuntu 12.04, the other 12.10.

Is this happening to anyone else?

If you are using CrossOver 12.1 (released today), you can try setting these registry keys in your GW2 bottle:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Gw2.exe\X11 Driver\ShapeLayeredWindows=N
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Gw2Setup.exe\X11 Driver\ShapeLayeredWindows=N

... depending on your problem, these may fix it. (Note: they only work with CrossOver 12.1.0. 12.0.0 doesn't know anything about these keys.)

Hope that helps for you!

Josh.

This worked like a charm. The Gw2.exe and Gw2Setup.exe keys were not in the registry so I had to manually enter all of it. Is that supposed to have been the case?
