Could not overwrite executeable with patch executeble

I just fought with this nasty bug after patching. The patcher wouldnt no matter what i did delete the old exe and replace it with the client.tmp

so i had to do it per hand

1) go to your PoE install dir
2) delete or renemae client.exe
3) rename client.tmp to client.exe

Thanks but definatly needs to be fixed :)

Yup!

If you use Comodo, just add the executable as a trusted file and you'll be set.

Comodo Defense+

Just think of all the programs people gave up on by not knowing it was preventing them from updating the things.

Struggling with this bug. I attempted to replace my PathofExile.exe file with PathofExile.tmp by deleting the old .exe file and renaming the .tmp file to .exe . When I run path of exile after this the program stays in the initial loading screen for ever. I allowed the program to run for 1.5 hours and it stayed in the load screen.
Not sure what to do now. I am having to delete path of exile all together and re-download the client and allow it to patch (takes upwards of 45 minutes) every patch (which can be daily).

If anyone has an suggestions I would love to give it a try.
