Bug ID: 56335 Summary: Guild Wars 2 Launcher freezes/hangs (Wayland only) Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: mweires@googlemail.com Distribution: ---
While hovering the Guild Wars 2 launcher the Gnome Shell will continously freeze and stutter between 100ms and 2s long. The cursor jumps and other applications freeze/stutter in sync. The issue is only visible while the cursor hovers the launcher. The issue is immediatly gone after closing the launcher or entering the game (which closes the launcher). The issue is not reproduciable on Xorg (Wayland only).
Response of a Mutter (Gnome compositor) maintainer suggests a fix on Wine side: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3034#note_1856859
If there's additional information that could help fix it on Gnome side please feel free to respond to the Gnome issue above.
Steps to reproduce 1) Download Guild Wars 2 launcher (https://account.arena.net/content/download/gw2/win/64) 2) Careful: running the launcher will create data files left and right of the launcher. Place it in a temp dir. 3) Run the launcher using Wine (tested on Fedora 39 system wine)
