Status: offline 		Hello I have reinstalled WITE and now every time I try to launch the game a prompt window appears asking for this. It doesn´t have ticked to run as a administrator so I dont understand what is happening. I remember I solved it in the past but I just can´t remember how in other games it happened to me was because the box run as administrator was ticked but it is not the case this time. It is very annoying to be fair.

Has somebody had the same problem?

Thanks you

in my case, both shortcut and exe ask for it, also the autorun. There is something I could do with it?

Status: offline 		For the prompt to disappear you'd have to disable UAC on Windows, but it's not a good idea.
AFAIK, non-steam version requires administrative rights to check if your serial number is correct. Without that it won't work.

Status: offline 		That is strange because I own WITW and WITP and several matrix games and this is the only one which have this prompt appearing always and all of them use serial and should check them.

I opened a ticket in support but I am hopeless with this cause I wont turn UAC off.

BTW if i am giving it admin right on the exe it should work without asking if I want this app to make changes on it but it doesnt..

Status: offline 		WitW has newer code base where this was changed. I don't know if it's possible to backport this to WitE.

It's the UAC that nags you - you're not granting those rights forever, just for this single launch, that's why you have to confirm this every time. Disabling UAC disables this prompt (but then all applications would be able to get administrative rights without you being asked). It's rather not possible to disable UAC for a single application.

Status: offline 		Hello morvael, I have been looking to the link you provided me and it seems that I will have to make that to every time the game has a new version so I think I wont implement it. Anyway thanks you very much for your help and your support.

Status: offline 		I have tried two of the and they affect the game itselft, some windows are shown in a weird way so I wont change nothing this time I prefer to click on yes every time and play it properly :) what is strange to me is that one version(steam) does not require it and the normal version does.
