[Guide] How to run the game with no administrator rights

[obamia]

Many people may have problems with addons or incompatibility with Discord while running the game. The RoRLauncher forces you to run it as administrator so you are forced to run Discord (for example) as administrator too, to address any compatibility issues.

Security & privacy focused users though may want to avoid that, there is no reason for a game to run with admin rights, and services like Discord that are very privacy invasive should always be in check.

Here is a quick fix on Windows to easily run the game with NON administrator rights, so this way you could run any external addons or services that interact with the game like Discord with no admin rights too.


1. Have the RoRLauncher shortcut on desktop.

2. Create a new text document on desktop and write this in it:

Code: Select all

cmd /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" %1"

3. Save it as "nonadmin.bat" (any name works, just make sure to have the .bat extension in the end)

4. To launch the game just drag and drop the RoRLauncher shortcut into your new .bat file.

You can also add a .cmd file containing the following code to the Warhammer Online Folder (which contains the RorLauncher.exe):

Code: Select all

set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start RoRLauncher.exe

You can now create a shortcut of this file on your desktop and if you want, you can also change the icon (right-click -> properties -> different icon -> select the RorLauncher.exe

By that, you don't have to drag and drop the RoRLauncher to the .bat file, but instead, you can directly launch the game by executing the file.
