Guild Wars 2

When a new build is released, often the GW2.exe file isn’t patched properly. The result of this will be:
The download will suddenly stall and stop at 0kB/s for no apparent reason and give an error message box.

The fix is to just delete the Gw2.exe file, rename Gw2.tmp to Gw2.exe, and then it will update fine.
I made a little script file for this task that I just run when it happens, consisting of only 2 lines:

rm “/home/antiriad/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GW2/Gw2.exe”
mv “/home/antiriad/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GW2/Gw2.tmp” “/home/antiriad/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GW2/Gw2.exe”

(In theory the first line is redundant and can be omitted, but I’m doing this cleanly :-p)

Thanks, Antiriad!
