2. Copy gw2_skeleton files into same directory per the README.txt.
3. chmod 755 run_game.py

Thanks for pointing this out. As an interim workaround you can simply remove 
the if block in settings.py that begins with "if os.environ['COMPUTERNAME'] == 
'BW-PC':". Obviously I didn't test the skeleton on non-Window OS. :)
