Research direction

Reproduce the launch failure on the reported fresh Linux Mint installation using the Bottles Play action for GW2; the report provides no files, tests, logs, or entry point. Done means isolating the launch failure and verifying that GW2 starts successfully, with the cause and reproduction details recorded.

Description

I have a fresh Linux Mint install. The game won't launch at all. Nothing happens when I click on the "play" button. I don't get to the GW2 launcher at all. No message, nothing. It just hangs for a while and that is it.
