With the dx11 beta within Guildwars2 all the fancy addons are also being updated. ArcDPS gets his updater slightly adjusted..

save as arc-updater.ps1 and place it into C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\ and create a shortcut to the desktop or whatever.

note that this script is updated with reshade.me in mind, e.g reshade is the dxgi.dll while arc is at d3d11.dll
