Will unity3d work properly without administrator rights?
Goodday,
I've been developing a game with Unity3D at work here, but on a useraccount that does not have administrator rights. This developing process has been very problematic, mainly with saving and loading bundles. These errors seem to occur randomly and completely out of the blue.
These bundles are handled by a third party framework, programmed by another company. The interesting thing is, that the creator of this framework does not have any issues with loading/saving bundles, and I do. Even bundles that I couldn't load in my own editor work fine in theirs. We're both running Win7 64b, the exact same Unity version, and our framework code is exactly the same (svn).
After months of searching and re-programming, we've exhausted a ton of options, except this: The only difference between my pc and the other pc where everything works normally, is that I don't have administrator rights, and the other does.
Could this be the cause of my problems? Is it worth a try to test this theory, or should Unity3d be able to work fine without admin rights?
surel you should quickly test it, have someone login as ad$$anonymous$$? (I'm not a windows user.)
sounds like a horrible woe...
Don't install it in Program Files (x86), which requires ad$$anonymous$$ privileges for certain writes and such. That would most likely be a lot of the headache.
I know that I had some strange issues when I did not have administrative access on my work computer. Things such as MonoDevelop not opening was my first and main issue that forced my company to open the computers up. So this could be a possible issue for the problems you are seeing now.
Good Luck! ~Justin
