Hey guys, so I've had trouble with the esea client recently and the problem is despite my dad already having typed in his password once, the client requires he type it in again every time I close it.

All the info that I think can help:
There's a blue and yellow shield over the esea client button.
He suspects that the client changes things in the hard drive everytime it runs.
My only solution is have him type it in the night before/right before my games.

Please help me. :)

the shield is part of a windows security feature called user account control. it helps keep programs from changing important things in windows without the user's consent.

you can set uac off (not recommended but its possible) in the settings: type "user account control" in the windows search bar and select the option to change its settings. then drag the slider down to the lowest possible setting.

again i do not recommend doing this but if your dad can't give you the password that's how you do it.

Tried it, the main problem was everything else that came with allowing just this one program. Do you have any suggestions on allowing just the client while having to type in admin pw for everything else?

i remember there was a way to whitelist uac on specific applications on w7, let me see if i can find that article.

edit: found it, not sure if this works in newer windows though http://lifehacker.com/how-to-eliminate-uac-prompts-for-specific-applications-493128966

Thanks, but it seems no luck with that site either.

Same thing was happening with my desktop.

My dad did this for the ESEA client and steam so it would always run as an administrator when ever I launched them.

You don't have Administrator access on the computer account you play TF2 on your "dad's" computer, ESEA Client requires Administrator access in order to run because anti-cheat BS. Either have your dad give you Administrator access or do what Max says which may be a good work around.

It's really not that complicated--don't waste the ESEA client guy's time for something simple like this.

Problem has changed, I missed a match resulting in my team playing 5v6 so please help me.

Everytime I joined the match server, I couldn't play due to an error (without number) saying that I wasn't running the client. I've looked through the faq but no luck.

I am running windows 10, but I've asked around and some have said that it works just fine. I'll test this soon I guess.

Anything is appreciated, even a bump
