Guild Wars 2 will have a 64 bit client for the mac .... finally

[Kara Spengler]

After a reorg people started discovering their '64 bit client' called a 32 bit library. Meaning it would cease to work next month as apple is sunsetting 32 bit support. Just yesterday, after not getting a response for months, arenanet announced they would update their mac client next week.

And since Catalina is finally here - how does it work?

Big problems in full screen but it seems to work in a windowed client. In other words, they did not do the most basic testing. Even with all this data nobody at the company has responded.

I just replaced my 9 year old Mac because I was going to need to do it soon anyway and I didn't want to get stuck with Catalina if I waited too long. It's going to be at least two years before there are replacements for enough of the older apps I use to make Catalina worth unpacking.

I just heard something that was a bit of a yikes. Someone was not able to get the new client to work with their egpu. Asking them now if it is a Catalina issue or not. Hopefully they just do not realize there is a per-app setting on apps using the gpu.
