    As a sole user of my PC I naturally hold administrator rights.

    Does this mean that must somehow open a non administrator account on my pc in order to use this software?

    Looks as if I may not be able to play for a while.

    It just means when you install it, do not use the Right Click context menu option "Run as Administrator" just use the normal Open command or double click it.

    Just one question, does this mean you cannot change the installation directory? Or does it mean you shouldn't change anything in the directory after it's installed? Because the client wanted to install itself in the user directory, and I tend to install everything in gamefolders and applicationfolders.

    2. do not change the folder that is noted in the installation directory. If it is "only" installed, it works. If it is changed, it may not work.

    If you open it in Chrome you can use the auto-translate option top right.
    I cant read French - not sure what is going on now - it is unclear if the process is done or not. I have installed the client - but have to search my files to find anything installed - so have no clue how they plan us to launch the game,- of if it is even possible yet.
    If for some reason support feels the need to edit what I wrote, please delete entire post instead, dont put words into my mouth that I never said.

    Like you, I always install programs where I want to ie on other drives so as not to fill the C drive, but yes I read that also.

    They are just saying they cannot guarantee it will work if you install somewhere else.

    I looked at the file size and it was nominal at 143 MB or something i just let it install in the default location

    MAC and LINUX users are not allowed to login any more
    also include users of 32bit versions of Windows and older versions of Windows (win7 ..etc)

    I would say maybe even half of users will be unable to login after update

    Yeah I only read that after I installed, I'm just so used to being able to change directories....but when I tried to reinstall it picked the directory I chose afterwards, so I'm not sure which directory to pick now. Anyways since they're still doing the maintenance I'll check later, that's why so many people cannot login yet Rejik
