Cannot change "Run as" user for specific game

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Because of a bug in palword dedicated server whenever you change the running user the player GUID will get messed up.
I'm moving the server from application to TCadmin. Therefore the server will be run as TCAgame, I don't want this because this messes up the GUID of my players which are forced to start over again.

 

Whenever I change the credentials in the game service config it won't save and will default back to TCAgame. How can I change the gameconfig to run under "administrator"?

After I press save it defaults back to TCAgame

I'm a bit further now.
The pop-up for a missing steam API key was preventing the new user account to save.

This has been changed now and now the service fails to start using the administrator user.

I'm 100% sure the password is correct. I've tried "administrator" ".\administrator" and "IGC\administrator" as user.

 

 

Upon investigation for the launcer I get the following errors in serviceinstall.log:

Are you sure the login information for the administrator user is correct?

Yes it was correct. I think I've solved it by running the launcher installer in an elevated prompt as user "administrator".

After that everything worked as expected
