Hello,
I am a new-comer to DayZ and DayZ Commander. I am trying to get Steam and DayZ to play nice (I bought the game outside of Steam, fyi, but I like the overlay)
Anyway, I noticed immediately after installing DayZ Commander that it requires a UAC prompt, meaning it requires elevated privileges. I'd like to know why. Play withSix for example does not need that prompt, and I can't imagine why DayZ Commander would. The problem is now that in order to talk to friends on Ventrilo, it will require administrator for push to talk, and Steam now requires administrator.
As you can see, the UAC shield is on the shortcut. Also, I am someone who understands security implications and while giving these programs admin rights isn't a big deal (other than Ventrilo, I suspect due to its age and lack of maintenance that it has several known exploits at this point in time), the principle of least privileges means that you shouldn't give an application privileges unless there is a reason for it. And for all I know maybe something isn't setup properly on my system, which is making it require UAC when it shouldn't. Any ideas?
Oh and to make sure this post doesn't sound hostile. The reason why I care so much and not just using Play withSix is because DayZ Commander is much easier to use with the friends system / server browsing being far superior, oh and of course the Steam overlay also works just find with Play withSix, and I've noticed a few posts regarding the Steam overlay. Perhaps these problems are related?
Thanks,
Rakshasas
