User "SrgntTryhard" - Windows access is denied

[Gorton]

SrgntTryhard has some issues, "exception windows error (5 'access is denied')"..
He's on a new computer but it worked for a game before this happened.
It happens when he tries to play a game, by automatch or custom game.

Does he get a popup error saying access is denied? Tell him to launch it in administrator mode, I'm 99% certain it'll work.. I've had this problem.

Zep has said before that you should never ever run faf in admin mode. Does something rather with permissions blah blah. So unless he says that himself, i would recommend not doing it.

Well it doesn't work without running faf in administrator mode for me.. I tried reinstall. It might be related to windows 8 or something.

Yes, don't run faf in administrator mode. I did this to get rid of those access denied errors and it messed up faf even more. Reinstall fixed it for me but I suppose that you already tried that.

Errors like what? I haven't noticed anything so far, have been running administrator mode for about 3 months.
