Not working correctly on linux

Describe the bug Opens but functions are not working..

To Reproduce Open/execute launchbuddy under linux with lutris

Expected behavior Just to work out of the box like 99% of any games and apps now working like that.

First happend in LB Version Issue first appeared in LB Version : newest

have you considered that this uses windows functions to spawn the multiple clients? what a weird thing to assume linux people have

There's a trick with Lutris. After you've installed GW2, you can copy the wine prefix directory multiple times, then "install" GW2 over and over again, but after it's done, point it to the copied directory. That way you can have many accounts that have their own prefixes and don't interfere with one another. No need for Launchbuddy.

And this requires GW2's files to be in a separate directory, not inside the prefix.

Thanks for the hint. Do you know if this needs more system resources than using it with launch buddy?

@Lukaboot GW2 is using windows functions, so no point.

best regards

It actually uses less resources because you're not running another process that's taking up memory and CPU. You're just running multiple GW2 instances. You just need more disk space because you're essentially copying the whole prefix which already has a lot of stuff in it.

I've been running like this for 5 years now without any issues. GW2 is installed in a separate directory where all my games are, and the lutris prefixes are all inside a gw2 directory for better maintainability. And in Lutris I just rename the "game" so I know which account I'm launching.

Very very nice, thank you so much ❤️

Any recommendations to use other things with GW2 on linux? @Kaukov
