I wrote a quick AppleScript that will kill the troublesome processes and start GW2. The script assumes the name of the application is “Guild Wars 2”.
- Open ‘AppleScript Editor’ by typing that in Spotlight or by opening it in your Applications > Utilities folder.
- Copy/Paste this code below into the editor.
- Click the File > Save… menu item to save your hard work
- Save As: ‘GW2’ (or anything you want)
- Where: Desktop
- File Format: Application (Application file format means you just have to double click and you’re good to go.)
Copy everything below this line:
set app_name to “Finder”
— Kill CVMCompiler
set the_pid to (do shell script "ps ax | grep " & “CVMCompiler” & " | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $1}’")
to split(the_pid, "")
repeat with a_pid in the_pid
if a_pid is not "" then do shell script ("kill -9 " & a_pid)
end repeat
end split
— Kill cookied
set the_pid to (do shell script "ps ax | grep " & “cookied” & " | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $1}’")
if the_pid is not "" then do shell script ("kill -9 " & the_pid)
-- log the_pid & " process was stopped."
tell application “Guild Wars 2” to activate

SOOO… I tried the “work around” and now I have to end up downloading 200,000 files again…
conclusion: DONT TRY THE WORK AROUND.
Its just pathetic we have to try and download files, renaming files and playing around with 2 clients to try and get something to work.
You shouldn’t have to unless you deleted the file you renamed or something. Just because the launcher when you run the new file say’s out of 270,000 files doesn’t mean you have to wait. You can close it as soon as it starts to patch.
Nope I renamed the original client, downloaded the new dmg file. Then I opened my original client and it started downloading all the files again. There is no play button until its all finished.
Did you run the new GW2 file first after you ran the installer you downloaded? Then close it when it started to patch then delete it?
Yup, then I ran around in a circle, put my hands together and said a prayer while patting my head and rubbing my tummy at the same time… lol.
Sorry, Im just exhausted with this. What ever happened to an automatic patch? I can download almost 300,000 files another dmg file wont hurt……
Well, I was just trying to help because your last post made it sound like you skipped a step or two. Anyway, I don’t think I can help anymore not being able to really see what is going on on your end.
It really isn’t my job to spend my time here trying to get people through this anyway. Last time I looked I didn’t have a red tag by my name. 
Sorry I couldn’t help more.

Ok, what happens is that the certificates are fixed, but the zombie processes still kick in and cause the BLTP to still not work. The easiest workaround: restart your Mac, every time you want to play GW2.
However, in combination with the certificate-replacement trick, adding this little app really got BLTP to work every time, so far, for me. It kills all the zombie processes left over from last session. Hey, you can restart your Mac if you don’t want to run the script, with the same result, but this is way easier. Thanks to nuklehed!
Be aware, the forum makes double and single “dumb quotes” into “smart quotes” which Applescript doesn’t recognize. So if you copy/paste the script straight into the editor, you will have to edit the fancy quotes into plain ones, both the " and the ’
Good luck and thanks to everyone who’s helping out! (Including the probably overwhelmed, understaffed Mac support crew.)
