Cannot install patch - "Could not overwrite executable with new patched executable..."
I see that this has been an issue in both POE 1 and 2. I found old threads with solutions such as: reboot, another has us renaming the pathofexile.tmp to .exe (I did this and windows won't execute the file).
I even moved the .exe and .tmp files out of the path of exile 2 folder and ran the installer, which "repaired" the installation by replacing the .exe file, and I still get the titular error. Please help. Last bumped on Dec 18, 2024, 3:54:31 AM

Same problem on my end. I'm using Lutris/WINE on Linux. Uninstalling and/or removing the WINE config didn´t help.

I had this same problem.
Started working after I ran PackCheck.exe that is found in the install folder. | |
Lamdosch's solution works as well and is much better than changing the .config and .temp files since you don't have to redownload the whole game. should be just an issue in production config
