I’ve noticed that the launcher strips file permissions from gw2.exe, Gw2.dat, and Gw2.tmp.

This is dangerous, as it allows any user (including unauthenticated users!!) to modify the files.

If I manually correct this, the launcher reverts the changes I made on the next launch.

Noticed this too. Even GW1 did it.

An incorrect action done with intent is still incorrect. It’s a bug.
