Guild Wars 2

Found a fix that a worked for me I think. I am patching now anyways.

Go to your GW2 application. Right-click and choose “Show Package Contents”
Navigate Contents → Resources → transgaming → c_drive → GW2
Rename gw2.exe to oldgw2.exe
Rename gw2.tmp to gw2.exe.
Launch GW2.

SOLUTION:

Go to your GW2 application. Right-click and choose “Show Package Contents”
Navigate Contents -> Resources -> transgaming -> c_drive -> GW2
Rename gw2.exe to oldgw2.exe
Rename gw2.tmp to gw2.exe.
Launch GW2.

The launcher will start and will begin the download. I’m downloading now.

Edit: The fix persists through multiple launches.

Thanks that worked. I wonder if Anet actually tests their updates on Macs before they release them. It seems doubtful.

Man, I was looking forward to this update and now I can’t even load the client.
