1. 0:01Hello everyone, today by viewer request
2. 0:04we’re going to look at how to get
3. 0:07Guild Wars 2 running on Linux. For this
4. 0:11, I’ve downloaded the official
5. 0:14launcher from Arenanet and I’m using
6. 0:17Linux internally to install the
7. 0:20launcher, the Faugus Launcher. And
8. 0:24I’ll show you right now just how easy
9. 0:27that works. We click on the plus sign
10. 0:32here, select Windows game, enter Guild
11. 0:36Wars 2, and then choose an installer.
12. 0:43I’ve already prepared that here. Then
13. 0:49we click OK, and the Guild Wars
14. 0:52launcher will open up here. We’ll log
15. 0:57in briefly, and then we can install the
16. 0:59whole thing. We’ll go with the
17. 1:04standard installation it suggests and
18. 1:06then wait until the download is
19. 1:08finished. Right, now the launcher is
20. 1:13ready to play, and as you can see,
21. 1:15it’s red here and I can't click OK
22. 1:17yet. That means I still have to select
23. 1:21the Guild Wars 2 .exe, and it saves
24. 1:24everything into this so-called prefix.
25. 1:29And this prefix is also right here when
26. 1:34we click on browse. Under, where is it
27. 1:42again? Faugus Guild Wars, Drive C,
28. 1:49Program Files, Guild Wars 2 and Guild
29. 1:53Wars .exe. So maybe just a quick note
30. 1:57for those who want to run Windows games
31. 2:01on Linux. The thing is, these Wine and
32. 2:05Proton environments always create their
33. 2:09own little Windows instance. You can
34. 2:13think of it like this, with the
35. 2:15libraries, and in this case, it’s the
36. 2:18Guild Wars 2 prefix that was generated,
37. 2:21and you can fine-tune it and adjust a
38. 2:23few settings. You can also install
39. 2:27programs or mods or addons into this
40. 2:30prefix if needed, but we don’t want
41. 2:32to look at that in detail now; we just
42. 2:35want to get Guild Wars 2 running. So,
43. 2:39we’ll select the .exe here and then
44. 2:42click OK. Okay, now I’ll cancel this
45. 2:46briefly and restart the thing. Back
46. 2:50here in the launcher. It’s still
47. 2:53downloading files, but we can already
48. 2:56start the game, so let’s do that, and
49. 3:00lo and behold, we are in the game,
50. 3:03Europa. Ah, I have to go here to create
51. 3:07a character. Okay, let's skip that for
52. 3:10a second. Signed, Botler. Botler is
53. 3:16already in use. Botler 08 15. Let’s
54. 3:23just take Botler. Let’s skip this too
55. 3:26. Wrath of the Ton. And boom, we are in
56. 3:34the game and can report. So, this runs
57. 3:38very smoothly, like a charm. So, well,
58. 3:45proven once again, it runs perfectly if
59. 3:48you know how it's done. It’s just—
60. 3:50the launcher situation is actually
61. 3:52pretty cool. Um, you obviously have to
62. 3:55install the launcher first and then
63. 3:58change the EXE in the prefix, but I
64. 4:01think once you've seen it done, anyone
65. 4:04can handle it. Like I said, the
66. 4:08structure is just standard Windows
67. 4:09style, I’d say, with Drive C.
68. 4:11That’s the system disk with the
69. 4:13Windows Program Files, and that’s
70. 4:15where the games are kept, and then it
71. 4:17just works. Now let's open it as proof,
72. 4:21we're logged back in, we can play again
73. 4:24. Then it just keeps downloading in the
74. 4:26background. And to dear Blackwater
75. 4:29Legacy, I'd say, have fun with Guild
76. 4:32Wars. Take care, and for those who
77. 4:35haven't subscribed yet, feel free to
78. 4:37subscribe. Stay tuned. Until next time,
79. 4:39your Botler. Cheers. Bye.
