had a lot of trouble running Guild Wars at first, lag, missing textures, messed up textures, failed loading etc etc, SO I decided to post tips on getting it to not only install and run, but run smoothly. As a note, I use P2P 2.0.2 with Cedega 4.4. Don't install with cd's, its bad luck. Instead, go HERE. Firstly, install it. Download the client from the above link and start up P2P. Click install in P2P, and type Guild Wars as the Program Title. Unzip the client, and then select it in P2P with browse under Installer. When the install comes up, click Install Guild Wars and run through the install as normal. Try running Guild Wars. If all works well, be happy If like me, you experience problems, try some things I mentioned below. *If you want to play in a window, set Desktop in the Graphics tab at LEAST 800x600 and in game use full screen of the same resolution. If you do not use the desktop and instead use Guild Wars' window mode you will experience graphic lag and texture problems! *If you experience problems with seeing water everywhere, in Guild Wars go into Options (or press [F11]) and click Advanced under Video Quality and set Shadow Quality to Off. It seems there is a problem with shadow support from Cedega. *If you experience problems with frame rate in Guild Wars try going into Options (or press [F11]) and click Advanced under Video Quality and set Reflections to Terrain and Sky. Setting it to All causes me to have very choppy game play, and Terrain and Sky makes everything run smoothly. *Using the ingame minimize button often if not always crashes the game! Instead, I suggest [Alt]-[Tab] out of the game. Try changing the setting as I list them below. To change settings, click Guild Wars at the left in P2P and then right click the Guild Wars icon in the left and click Edit Profile. I have highlighted things that seem to greatly affect the game for the good. General Tab Winver: win98 Cedega Version: 4.4 Use XVid Mode: No Use XRandR: Yes DXGrab: No Managed: Yes Mozilla Control: Yes Decrease WineServer: No Accelerated InterProcess Communication: Yes Use Pthreads: Yes Desktop: No Path to Browser: <blank> Working Directory: <blank> Command Line Option: <blank> FreeType and XRender: Yes Activate TransGaming HUD: No Show Memory Usage: No Audio OSS: Selected DSP Device: /dev/dsp Mixer Device: /dev/mixer Full Duplex: No Use MMap: No Graphics Video Ram: Default AGP Vertex Data: Default Pixel Shaders: Yes, 1.3 Vertex Shaders: Yes NV_VAR Extension: Yes ARB_VBO Extension: Yes Fixed GL Extension Buffer: No Manual GL Extension: <blank> Fixed Program: Auto Fragment Offset: Auto Non Power of Two Textures: Auto Clip Space Fix: Yes Anisotrpic Filtering: No Joysticks <I dont use one, so I don't know> If you have any changes you would like me to make to this, or more information you would like me to add, feel free to post it in a reply. Any feedback is always appreciated |
