I'm on a Mac(leopard) and I'm using crossover to try and play guild wars. Once it gets to 100% it says "Unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed DirectX 8 and an updated video driver." I've played other 3D games that require DirectX on crossover, and I can't seem to figure out why it won't work. I've tried running it with -dx8, -dx9, -noshader. None of them helped. My computer specs are good enough to run Guild Wars, so that's not the problem. Anyone have any idea how I can get guild wars running?

Have you tried the latest version of Wine (1.2)? It now lists GW as a platinum game.

Well I'm pretty sure you can't just get wine on a mac, isn't it only for linux? I know crossover has wine built in but there's no standalone version of it for mac. I do however have the newest version of crossover.

Apparently works on OS X too.

I know it's a pipe dream, but as GW is available on Steam and more and more Steam products are being Mactivated, do you think, maybe..?

Lol, nah I don't think Guild Wars will be ported to mac because Guild Wars 2 is coming out in less than a year. Let's hope they make Guild Wars 2 on mac haha. Still no luck getting it to work :/.

GW on mac is unlikely. Good luck with crossover, if you can't get it to work you could always resort to bootcamp.

My friend got it working on crossover without any problems :/ But yeah I could always use bootcamp but I'd like to stay away from that because I'm limited on space.

Well I deleted crossover and updated it to 9.1 from 9.0 and Guild Wars runs fine now
