why do have to start raceroom as an admin on windows? I am using w10 x64. Normally I am not using admin rights in my profile but raceroom always wants to start with admin right. why is that necessary? my UAC is set to the second highest level thx
Interesting as I'm also running Windows 10 64 and mine does not start with administrator rights. Is it possible you have some launch options set that are affecting this?
Shouldn't be necessary. They stated they're using the second highest whereas I'm currently using the second lowest but the only difference between those 2 settings is one dims the rest of the screen and the other doesn't. Setting it to the lowest setting would only turn off the warning about admin rights across their entire machine, which I doubt they want.
Where do you have Steam/R3E installed? FYI, I wouldn't install any games to Program Files (and ...x86), these folders have higher OS security controls in place and if the developer isn't careful to properly utilize the users' profile for modifiable files you will run into security privilege issues (administrator permissions required). Modding files can also cause issues with games in this system folders. Yes, security can be lowered (UAC) but that isn't a good solution in my opinion if you want (and should) maintenance best security practices.
Wow, thanks a lot for the information. IF two profiles on my pc, one as administrator and one as a normal user. I think I installed the program in the administrator profile. When I'm in my normal profile and that start raceroom, I get a window asking me whether I want to run it in my user profile 2 or 1. Sorry for the confusion. 1 is the admin and 2 normal user. Every time I have chosen to profile 1. Now I have chosen profile 2 and the installation routine started. Obviously it didn't install anything and the program started, it works. Yes, I have installed the program and the normal program files folder on drive C. Perhaps, I should deinstall it and reinstall it again on drive D. Is it possible to do this without downloading everything again. Interesting situation, it never happened before
ok,fixed it puu, I don't know why, but I had this problem before with Steam. Steam always wanted to start with admin privileges. I changed the security settings of the Steam folder to fix it but it didn't help. Now I changed it back. Normal permissions for "user" again it works now but thanks again !!
