Download: Gw2Launcher.exe
See the wiki for more information and recent changes. Simply download (64-bit) and place the executable wherever you'd like it.
GW2 uses a mutex to prevent multiple instances from being opened at the same time. In addition, GW2 also locks access to Gw2.dat, which prevents other processes from reading it. By killing the mutex and enabling -shareArchive, multiple clients can be launched simultaneously.
When -shareArchive is enabled, GW2 will not be able to modify any files. In order to update the game or modify your settings, the game must be launched normally, which will be handled for you.
