Anybody has experience with GW2 on Linux? (lemm.ee)

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.

It runs flawlessly on my system.

What are you PC specs?

I’ve installed the Steam version of GW2 and then in the Steam console, you can tell it to use the standalone launcher. I can’t remember the command, but when I get home I’ll post it here.

I confess I don't remember the specs but runs fine on Windows. I will try to play around with it a bit, not sure what the issue might be.

Somebody already posted how to run it via Steam so will try that.
