Rainway installs per-user but doesn't support per-user usage #354

Open riverar opened 5 years ago

riverar commented 5 years ago

Rainway app version 1.0.13.0 Windows 10 1903 18362.1

Rainway installs a system-level service pointing to a per-user installation of Rainway, effectively making Rainway a per-system-only app.

If Rainway Radar's sole function is to start Rainway, I recommend removing the service altogether and relying on Windows Startup and automatic login features.

Repro:

  1. Create two Windows users, if needed
  2. Log in as User 1, install Rainway and launch
  3. Reboot machine
  4. Log in as User 2, install Rainway and launch
  5. Observe Rainway Radar service is still configured to point to User 1. This will cause problems with launching, finding games (due to access issues), etc.

Hi @riverar, the service is used for allowing Rainway to see UAC/protected windows. We install to AppData only because we use Squirrel -- nonetheless this use case can be handled better. I will discuss it at our next engineering meeting.
