Installation

1. Download d3d11.dll found in the latest release.
2. Place the file in your game installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2). In that same folder you should see Gw2-64.exe.
3. Start the game, you should have a popup to accept the Legal Agreement.

After accepting you can open the menu using CTRL+O by default.

Chainloading

If you want another proxy d3d11.dll, for example ArcDPS, you can chainload it by naming it d3d11_chainload.dll and also putting it in the game directory.
