Hey thanks for your friendly and detailed guide! I hope it works for you and I’ll see you around Tyria! If you have any feedback on ways to improve this process or ways to improve perfromance, please leave a comment below. It might not be good enough for competitive PvP or WvW though. It’s definitely slower than the native client was, but so far it’s playable for me. Participating in large events can be slow – not too surprising since it used to happen before anyways.It then plays all the events that happened while “paused” and launches you across the map… This used to happen with the old macOS client, but seemed to have been fixed in the native one. Sometimes your character ends up mounting inside the ground & it takes a while to resolve itself.(Twice in the three weeks I’ve been playing with this version?) I get a very occasional crash when switching maps.Not that big a problem since it handles the resolution properly in-game.

Because I set Retina Mode on, the main Guild Wars 2 login screen is tiny.

You’ll probably get a dialog complaining about something and you’ll have to click another button that says Open.

This worked alright as well, a bit better than the PlayOnMac one, but didn’t have any nice config & install capabilities like some of the wrappers do. The next thing I tried was a straight Wine build – version 6.5 (wine-devel-6.5-os圆4) which I downloaded from here. They fixed the download problem in 4.4.2, but they made that version require macOS 10.15+ for some reason.

It worked alright for general PvE, but it was still too slow even on basic graphics settings and the code to install different WINE versions was broken. The first thing I tried was PlayOnMac 4.4.1. So it really should be able to handle this really old game… What I Tried

In this post I’ll explain how to set it up. I tried several ways to run Guild Wars 2 using Wine before finding one that works for me. It wasn’t as good as when they released a 64-bit native client, but it worked for a time. The old macOS 32-bit Guild Wars 2 client actually used a version of Wine to run. Running in a virtual machine like VMWare or Parallels is too slow, so that leaves some form of Wine which is a Windows compatibility layer. There are several ways to run the Windows client on a Mac including dual-booting Windows with Bootcamp, but that’s not an option for me.
