Rainway installs per-user but doesn't support per-user usage
Rainway app version 1.0.13.0 Windows 10 1903 18362.1
Rainway installs a system-level service pointing to a per-user installation of Rainway, effectively making Rainway a per-system-only app.
If Rainway Radar's sole function is to start Rainway, I recommend removing the service altogether and relying on Windows Startup and automatic login features.
Repro:
- Create two Windows users, if needed
- Log in as User 1, install Rainway and launch
- Reboot machine
- Log in as User 2, install Rainway and launch
- Observe Rainway Radar service is still configured to point to User 1. This will cause problems with launching, finding games (due to access issues), etc.
Hi @riverar, the service is used for allowing Rainway to see UAC/protected windows. We install to AppData only because we use Squirrel -- nonetheless this use case can be handled better. I will discuss it at our next engineering meeting.
@Codeusa Great, thanks for the follow up.
