Hi, i dont know where to put this but this is a question for Arena Net or if it has been released in any of the articles.

Will Gw2 Meet the guidelines for Games for Windows? I dont mean necessarily being labbed with GFW but will it have 64 bit or Dx10 and be compatible with the games explorer? Thanks in advance.

Sure, why not?

No idea, if it's "Games for Windows w/ DX10" it won't run on Xp.

Generally a lot of things run on 64bit os using 32 emulation mode.

GW1 is already compatible with the games explorer.. mind you it shows up .. 3 times in Vista

Oh interesting, ill look into the 64 bit, Im still under the belief that 64 bit wont run on most gmaes

I would imagine that, since the release date (not announced yet) is over a year away, maybe as much as 2 years out, they're going to take the latest hardware, OS, and DX into account when designing it...

Not being sarcastic, just speculating.
