So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?
I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.
@illi Hopefully by installing it in Steam it will smooth out how it runs for you. Good luck!
FWIW, I have the game, ArcDPS, GW2 Radial and Jokolay running nicely together, and have Firefox, Discord, Obsidian and Spotify all running at the same time.
I have to play a bit with graphic settings but works as I'd expect it!
@illi Excellent! I have the same with graphics, and mostly switch between Auto for normal PvE and Best Performance for WvW or other busy situations.
Never sure of it's because of Linux and Proton/WINE or because my GPU is 5 years old and the rest of my PC is 9yo. ๐
A little from column A, and little from column B probably...
