just want to know if (and when) a patch will be issued to fix the known problem of the UAC compatibility (needs administrator rights to run)


and besides that, i find disturbing that the savegames for all users are kept together, will you work to separate user data files while you're at it?
(BTW on linux it works fine and keeps different account's data correctly separated, good job over there!)

no, actually you can't


you can only disable it entirely (which is a BAD BAD practice)


trust me: i've tried with the application compatibility toolkit and tweaking all sort of stuff, but it can't be done (otoh, the uac tries hard to comply with badly behaving software, so while i blame them for not providing an /etc/sudoers of sort, the fault isn't theirs )
