Daybreak Launcher on Linux – Installation Guide (Experimental)

Daybreak can be run on linux in 2 ways:

  • Using the launcher compiled for Linux from releases
  • Using wine to run the Windows version of Daybreak

The guide below will walk you through the steps of setting up Daybreak on Linux through Wine.

Source: Reynbow/guildwars

Install Faugus

Install Faugus via your package manager.

GitHub: faugus-launcher

Installation Steps

1. Create Guild Wars Prefix in Faugus

  1. Open Faugus and click the + button in the bottom left corner
  2. Enter a title for your game
  3. The Prefix will automatically fill
  4. Add your Guild Wars installer file (GwSetup.exe) by clicking the search button
  5. Optionally add shortcuts using the tick boxes
  6. In the Tools tab, ensure Game Mode is ticked
  7. Click Ok to close the window
  8. Click the Play button or double-click to run

Note: When the Guild Wars installer window appears, you can either let it complete or close it now. For speed and to ensure Daybreak handles the installation, I recommend closing it at this point.

2. Install Daybreak Launcher

  1. Download Daybreak from: Releases

  2. Locate your prefix:

    • Right-click your Guild Wars entry in Faugus
    • Click Open prefix location
    • Open the drive_c folder

  3. Create Daybreak folder:

    • Create a new folder named Daybreak in drive_c
    • Extract the Daybreak .zip contents to this folder

  4. Update executable path:

    • Right-click your Guild Wars entry in Faugus
    • Select Edit
    • Click the search button and select Daybreak.exe from the Daybreak folder you created
    • The path will be under /home/<username>/Faugus/

3. Initialize Daybreak (Required)

⚠️ IMPORTANT - Initialize Daybreak once

After setting Daybreak.exe as the executable but before continuing:

  1. Launch Daybreak once
  2. Wait 10 seconds (blank/white window is expected)
  3. Close it again

This initializes the WebView2 host environment inside the prefix.

4. Install Microsoft WebView2 Runtime

Download WebView2

  1. Go to: webview2
  2. Download the Evergreen Standalone Installer (x64)
  3. Also download the Fixed Version (this will be a .cab file)

Run the Installer

  1. In Faugus, open the Tools tab for your game
  2. Click the Run button
  3. Select MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe that you downloaded
  4. Run the installer
    • It may show an error or close/crash when finished - this is normal

Extract Fixed Version Files

  1. Extract the .cab file contents to a new folder:

    drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/EdgeWebView/

5. Configure Registry

Download Registry File

  1. Download the registry file and place it in your drive_c folder

Registry file preview:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]
"pv"="143.0.3650.66"
"st"=dword:00000001
"doNotSandbox"=dword:00000001
