Guild Wars Tips

Workarounds for minimizing window in fullscreen mode

When Guild Wars is in Fullscreen mode, minimizing the window at the Login screen causes problems which require a force quit - users are left with either a white screen or a 32x32 pixel box in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

Workarounds:

(For Mac)
1.  In Full Screen mode at the login screen, click the upper-right Windows-style re-size button.  When the game appears in a window, click the yellow Mac-style minimize button.
2.  In Full Screen mode at the login screen, click Option>Graphics tab and set to any resolution where the Mac OS Menu bar can be seen.  Then click on the Windows-style minimize button.

*The only Full Screen setting that shows the bug is Full Screen - 1920 x 1200 (for Macs capable of this resolution).

(For Linux)
1.  In Full Screen mode at the login screen, click the upper-right Windows-style re-size button.  When the game appears in a window, click the Windows-style minimize button.
2.  In Full Screen mode at the login screen, click Option>Graphics tab and set resolution to Window mode.  Then click on the Windows-style minimize button.
