Guild Wars Forum

I have installed Guild Wars on my M1 Mac mini which was easy enough however the game runs like it is wading through treacle. With all of the graphics options on the lowest settings I am getting a maximum of 16fps in the mission loading areas and once I load out into a mission with either henchmen or heroes I'm lucky if I get 6 or 7fps which is unplayable. I have tried both Windows 7 & Windows 10 bottles and the result is the same. I have also installed LoTRO via Crossover where I get 60 - 80 fps on maximum settings so I know the M1 can game I just can't understand why the M1 is tanking with Guild Wars. I must be missing something in how I am configuring the game

All advice will be greatly appreciated

Hi John,

The poor performance with Guild Wars on the M1 is actually a Rosetta 2 bug. We reported the issue to Apple, so if they decide to fix it, the fix would come in a macOS update.

Any update on this fix? I would consider buying Crossover for GW1 if it would work with good FPS. Currently chugging on my trial with an M1 laptop.

Hi there,

Since the fix would need to be on Apple's end, we don't have any insight into a timeline.

Best,
Meredith
