--- Comment #236 from voidcastr voidcastr@gmail.com 2012-10-05 10:11:41 CDT --- AFAIK, the patch was meant to apply against wine 1.3 and it cannot be applied to any 1.5 series version. So we can only employ the LD_PRELOAD method based around injecting code from the standalone/precompiled .so files. Unfortunately this is not only an extremely ugly solution but it also seems to fail for many users (including WoW players, apparently).
It seems like the only things happening when trying to use the .so files with GW2 are: - An error console output of "Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL." - It either breaks the launcher completely OR has no effect at all.
However, given that I somewhat understood ae, he thinks about his "rgl" hack as being unlikely to be useful for other games. Whatever the reason.
