how to run and install it without admin rights?

Post by entd »

Hello, I love warzone on Linux and I think that it is great. But how to run on computer in example, which run windows. It installs well, however the dependancy - openAL - need admin rights. How I can disable sound check and run it whithout sound or install openal whithout admin rights?

This is on vista I take it? AFAIK, you need admin rights to install drivers, so I don't think there is a way around that.

You can run the game via --nosound --nomusic command line options.

Helps if you read a post in its entirety before coming to the conclusion that someone else has not ;)

As for NewTiberian jumping on the bandwagon...

o_O I could've sworn I didn't read that the first time through.

I haven't been getting enough sleep (as anyone on the IRC channel probably knows). That's probably why. >_<

my only suggestion is to get a computer which you have admin rights on :P
