I suppose it depends on the add-on. For instance Vulkan layer based overlays should work (for Vulkan use case).

I actually have no idea what the overlay is based on.

Hi,

ArmoredVehicle here, I haven't dabbled with TacO in Linux but I'll look into it and if possible add a way to easily install it from that package. :)

That would be so good! Using TacO is the only thing I miss from playing on Windows.

Not yet, tbh I've been knee deep in PvP matches lately. I'll get around to it at some point though :)

Hey, did you ever get around to checking this out? I think my messages are getting lost in the official forum thread! TaCo is really the ONE thing I miss.

I tested it a few times and the overlay does work however there seems to be a transparency issue between it and the game. I checked the logs and TacO itself uses DX11 (basically an invisible window over GW2's DX9, also confirmed in an old dxvk ticket: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/1225 Not much I can do.

Here's what I get as of DXVK 1.5.1:

Oof that's unfortunate. Thank you so much for looking into it! Could you please tell me how you got the overlay to show up? Just so I can, in the future, keep an eye on these issues and check for myself whether it will work or not.

For people coming across this post, there is a workaround for XFCE at the time of writing: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/1275884/#Comment_1275884
