(In which case you don't need most of what I'm posting below.) One advantage of this approach is that you're just running GW2 on Windows natively, which is an officially supported platform. If you have an Intel-based Mac, you could also choose to dual-boot Windows.Rosetta is, at least in theory, compatible with Wine.The Guild Wars 2 Win64 client - that's the thing you're most likely going to be using once the Mac client disappears - can work on non-Windows OSes through a 'compatibility layer' application like Wine (e.g.new ARM ('M1'/'Apple Silicon') chips - these have a different instruction set but they CAN run code compiled for x86 Macs using a special software translation layer called Rosetta, which likely has a performance cost but should be pretty seamless once you've set it up.older Intel chips - these run x86 code natively.Apple is transitioning their hardware to a new CPU type.In January, Anet announced: ' Starting February 18, … the Mac client will no longer work after this date.'.As of February 23, 2021, the Mac OS 64-bit client will no longer allow you to log in.I'll try to keep the top post updated as an ad-hoc community resource until we figure out something better. Please chime in with your own experiences but focus on what you've actually tested to keep the volume of speculation low. There's a lot of confusion about GW2 ending Mac client support, so let's make a thread of player resources about what to actually do about it.
