someone says the installer hangs with the latest setup, tbh we can't find a fault with it

so if you install as admin and run as admin, the game works fine, and fast, very fast to load and play

so installing takes less than 5 mins, loading from the launcher takes less than a few seconds, and loading any battle, is less than 30 seconds, no matter which one you select, if it's longer, then it's hardware or drivers or permissions, as this test pc is older than 5 years old and specs already posted and mentioned...

last one, there will be no follow on

Good guide, but why are you explicitly choosing to run as Administrator? Surely the UAC will take care of that when you start the installer. UAC will prompt for elevated permissions if defined in the manifest, and it is for these installers.

Basically there shouldn't be any difference so why complicate things?

windows 10 can be fussy with where you install and how you install, there are like all windows 2 version, while it's not so fussy with home, with pro it won't work and will need elevated permissions to install and run,

so doing a guide that suits both, and also my guide and advice is for the default AV and firewall also, so if you have a non default AV and or firewall, installing as admin and running as admin should setup even with a 3rd party ones, the correct permissions to install and run, without having to manual allow any part to run or have a elevated permission
