Non-admin build of 9.5.6 available anywhere?

Open Pathduck opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, does anyone know any fork/build of a non-admin, non-elevating build of the latest BG? I don't have access to compiler tools and wouldn't have an idea how to do it so would really appreciate if anyone's got a build.

Currently I'm using an old build of 9.4 and it works fine, but assuming 9.5.6 is the last version we'll see it would be great to be able to use it in scripts to launch games without having it go to UAC every time.

THIS!

I really like the tool but it is pretty nasty to work with (scpriting and so on) because of the forced Admin elevation.

You can always create a shortcut with this path:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker && start "" ^"C:\Your\path\to\BorderlessGaming.exe^""

This will run the app without admin privs. Look up RunAsInvoker for more info. Its a windows compatability layer setting.

@mt025 Thanks so much for the tip! 👏

I had no idea about the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, it works fine and I can work that into the cmd scripts to launch games. Brilliant hack!

EDIT: I'm a bit curious about the ^ syntax you use above, what does it do exactly? ~Or is it a typo? 😉~ EDIT2: Oh I see, it's the cmd escape character!

Would still be nice to have a non-admin build but I can at least work with this 😄

I had no idea about the __COMPAT_LAYER variable either, it works fine and I already did work that into my AHK scripts. THX man
