I am able to reproduce this bug. Normally, it works fine, but if at any point
you try to switch workspaces ( Using Ubuntu 8.10 here ) during gameplay it will
render the game permanently trapped in this state regardless of attempts to
reboot.

A workaround is to replace GW.dat with a new one ( if you do not have a backup
of gw.dat, delete it. The game client will auto download a new one )

Can also confirm this on Wine 1.0.1 in Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04). Moving Gw.dat out
of the way did not fix the issue either.

I found a solution to this problem:

When you see the download window you have to hit alt+enter un your keyboard,
this will set the game to fullscreen mode. By doing that you can play normally,
however you won't be able to play in window mode again, if you want to play in
window mode you have to do what killpotts said.

Yeah, i know my english sucks xD.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately for those of us running dual monitors or
who otherwise do not desire to play in full screen mode due to the various
known minimization/alt-tab bugs, this is not a solution.

Does this bug still exists on Wine 1.3.25 or higher? I can't reproduce it on my
system.

The bug is still an issue... running ubuntu 10.04 amd64x gx graphics. If there
is another work around than removing the gw.dat file please inform me.

in Ubuntu 11.10.

You could try to use a new profile with WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_new. Maybe the bug
appears because of a special setting.

Found The Fix @ http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_on_Wine

The following fixed the issue for me:

-Start wine regedit

-Create key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/wine/Direct3D", create string
"UseGLSL", set value to "disabled".

Hi,

I confirm the bug on Wine 1.5.12, AMD Catalyst 12.8, XOrg server 1.12.x.

Anyway I confirm that the problem is GLSL forced by default in new Wine
version.

You can safely use Wine 1.5.3 to play Guild Wars by disabling GLSL in the
registry: everything will be fine.

Maybe it could be a 'wise' idea to post a new bug dedicated to GLSL and AMD
drivers?

Please think about it.

Thanks.

Is this bug still valid? Reports are so old.

(In reply to killpotts from comment #4)

The Gw.dat does save the settings of the game (including the video settings)
and with this:

I'm having the theory that the game switched on your actions the video settings
(for example the resolution) and recovering/restarting doesn't logically work
then. It would be interesting to know how the game reacts if the game would be
started with such a Gw.dat on a native Windows.

Maybe this issue is even just a window manager issue for example by setting a
strange resolution that would never be set on Windows.

This bug sounds abandoned to me. Last reply is basically 2012-09-09 08:09:51
CDT, later comment from sword doesnt really help solving this bug anyway.

Even the bug would be valid it's really hard to do anything with the info
given.
