Osoyoos will throw an error if it tries to launch an application that uses a compatibility mode #65

What the title says. Doing this as Halo 2 Guerilla and Sapien seem to run better when set to XP service pack 3 compatibility in the file properties. Trying to start it however means you get a crash. You can workaround it by starting the launcher as admin.

  1. Go to your sapien.exe or your guerilla.exe and set a compatibility mode for them in file properties. In my instance I'm using Windows XP service pack 3
  2. Now launch Osoyoos without admin privileges and attempt to run one of the applications from Osoyoos. It should throw an error at this.

I expect Osoyoos to either tell me I need to restart as admin or for it to do that for me.
