That's the UAC (User Account Control) at work. Some people have it disabled because of it's annoyance nature. I have mine disabled. If you want to disable it, click on your user picture in Start Menu. On the window that come up, click the last link that says Turn User Account Control on or off, untick the box there and click OK.

Before people say this is a bad move, why do I have mine disabled and I don't encounter any problems this feature claims to protect against? It's excatly the same as running XP.

Right Click on EXE then properties-> Compatibility Tab -> Check "Run this program as an administrator"->Apply-> OK.

Shouldn't bug you anymore.

:( It still bugs me.

I don't want to disable UAC. Is there any other way?

Vanguard is one of the most poorly written applications I have ever encountered, and at least last year when I played it for a short time - it broke every rule about running on non-admin accounts.

Bug Sigil to fix their god awful game. Or play a real MMO like LOTRO, which is actually written the way Windows applications are supposed to be written (not to mention it's way more fun and actually has people in it). And you only need to elevate every couple months when there's an update.

If you've not played it in the past 6 months you have no room to bicker. The game has massively improved.

If they're still requiring an elevation prompt to play it, that's not a good sign. Plus I'm not bickering, I merely commented on the code quality of a game that never should have been released given the state it was in. Hard to really care if they've made it better, since an MMO with players isn't terribly interesting, and there are vastly superior alternatives out there.

    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat

      By zikalify · Posted

      Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
