- Name of the distribution (and its version) 

Well, first, you are using a beta version of Ubuntu, and a testing install of guild wars, so that may have something to do with it. Hence the beta status. lol. It may not be that, but its something to consider. 

If you run playonlinux from the terminal, does it output any errors when you are saving/typing in the arguments in the configure screen?

Sorry for the delay...

He he, after trying on a more stable version like you said I had the same results. I have "rm -R -f" my /home/user/.Playonlinx folder and started up PlayOnLinux from scratch. It recreated the folder with no problems.

Installed using testing GuildWars2. So everything is fresh.

Disabled all plugins.

Went to Configure->64GuildWars2->Guild Wars 2. Then General->Arguments. Then delete everything from the box, it is ok, and saves that nothing is in the box.

When I try to add "fruit cake", clicking the Wine tab in the same window it still saves. I can close the window and it still saves. So I am wrong in my post before about "anything". It likes "fruit cake". :)

But, when I enter the following, "-email user@domain.com -password ‘password’ -autologin -nopatchui" without quotes and close the window etc. everything I had entered in the Arguments box is removed.

Odd that "fruit cake" works but "-email user@domain.com -password ‘password’ -autologin -nopatchui" does not.

I can provide more information if needed.

As requested below is all I get even when changing text in Arguments box:

$ playonlinux

Do you really mean those unicode quotes around password, and not the ASCII single quotes

-email user@domain.com -password 'password' -autologin -nopatchui

I can indeed reproduce the problem with unicode characters.
Beside, unless your password contains shell separators (spaces, tabs,...), those quotes are unnecessary.

hahaha

You can always add those arguments in the symlink, but that kind of kills flow and ease of use, doesnt it? :)

So, pretty much take all of that information, and create a bug report. It should be saving those arguments, if I am not mistaken, and it may be a bug that has been introduced recently.

First off, thank you for such an amazing software package. Good call patch! Yes DJYostaBYD.

For everyone's reference Guild Wars 2 command line parameters can be found here:

Being a programmer myself I instinctively put the quotes in. lol
