Hey guys, here is an odd one for you.

Decided to make a few 3d models and place them into my project, game compiles as it should and runs. Yet if I copy release .Exe the project starts, yet crashes upon loading my first model, I know this because I have loading screen with percentages.

Now what's odd here is I just by the off chance chose run exe as an administrator and the project loaded in just fine, any reason for this?

Cheers Moops

@haliop Thats pretty bad advice actually. OS's are moving more and more towards a system with proper user permissions. Users having read only access to the Program Files directory for example. Most games produced these days also take that into account and handle it properly. You should never, under any circumstances, be required to run a game under a root or Administrator level account.

@moops Well first of all, what OS are you running? XP? Vista? Win 7?
