Hydroblunt Gallente Puff Monkeys Inc	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:15:00 - [1] Ok, my mood was just ruined about the Dominion expansion. I play EvE at work during downtime, however, the ****head operations guy took away my previously given admin rights to my computer, because, well, he is a miserable loser on a power trip. That did not matter to me much as I was able to download the smaller EvE patches but with Dominion, it's a huge problem. Basically, I cannot even start downloading the patch via the game client. Is there anyway I can download and install this patch without requiring admin rights? Tried posting this in the Tech corner, but no responses. Please do not evade the profanity filter. Zymurgist
Omir Brakre	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:17:00 - [2] Download it on another pc/elsewhere and put it on a cd,then bring it to work and patch

I know how u feel.. i got a pretty quad core intel mac with a dual vidcard thingamajic at work... aka it should be able to run eve in the highest setting nps... But i'm not even gonna bother asking the paranoid b@st@rd about installing eve on it... ________________________________________________

Have the patch downloaded, can't install. Is there any way around this? No, if the admin has your account set to user and not admin, Windows will not allow you to install the client. You will need the administrator password for the computer.
Roland Octavious	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:36:00 - [6] This is hysterical, "I can't play eve at work . .waaa". . perhaps the boss feels the company computers shouldn't be used for games anymore or there something more productive you could be doing during down time then playing eve at work.
Illwill Bill Svea Rike The Council.	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:38:00 - [7] Confirming that the company that I work for fires people for violating the IT policy.
Beebooper	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:39:00 - [8] Um, how about you find a job where they give you admin rights to your box? That'd be a valid solution. Or maybe there is a reason that they don't want you to be, you know, playing games while they are paying you to work? The short answer is no, if you are not part of the local admins group then you cannot do it. That's not even taking into consideration the numerous group policy restrictions that could be in place for the domain or specific to your box.

Zymurgist he stopped you from doing other stuff than work when youre at work ? damn I feel sorry for you... try to install on a different computer, then just copy files to new computer on usb ? ------ Here's a phone.

000Hunter000 Gallente Missiles 'R' Us	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:41:00 - [10] Bah! think before u comment! I have an hour long break every day, and the computers are always on... why not allow me to play a lil virtual spaceships during that 1 hour break? ________________________________________________

Salyan	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:42:00 - [11] Get a fully patched version on your home pc. Copy the entire eve directory to a flash drive/dvd. Copy/paste?

You know what's hysterical? Your assumptions and lack of reading comprehension. Do you understand the meaning of DOWNTIME during work hours? The admin is a miserable loser on a powertrip who originally had to give me admin rights a year ago to get programs & update them because it was vital to my job, cause it's not like he was going to do the work required. Listen, how about you and others keep the jealousy filled comments to themselves. Two of you would not be able to do my job even working double my shifts.
Roma Jonson Vengeance Imperium	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:51:00 - [13] Tis guy is sooo gonna be wardecked lol In a fight ANGER is as good as courage.

I play during downtime in background and passively. It's either that or search the web, read smth, stare pointlessly at the wall. I'll try the USB trick, that might actually work if EvE does not modify .dll & registry files a lot.
Tele Z'thain Fraser's Finest	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:55:00 - [15] As the enforcer for my local IT Policy, all I have to say is: AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA /emote goes back to manipulating market orders and blacklisting non-eve websites.
KLoWn Killa	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:56:00 - [16] You could always troll the forums for that hour kinda like now =))
Tele Z'thain Fraser's Finest	Posted - 2009.12.01 21:58:00 - [17] Originally by: KLoWn Killa You could always troll the forums for that hour kinda like now =)) Yeah, be glad for what you have. If the guy really didn't like you, he'd watch your surfing habits and start blocking your favorite non-work sites. Not that I've done anything like that....
Ehris Bok Kumovi Sons of Tangra	Posted - 2009.12.01 22:03:00 - [18] load the eve client on a usb flash drive. ive tried this & it works fine can be a little slower but meh give it a shot. fyi you'll need a 8gb flash drive..

Well I can say they did it to my work computer. You can see the drop in my posting on EVE search sometime early this year. Well, for some reason after 3 months out of work recovering from surgery, I come back and, bam, EVE-O Forums are no longer on the block list.

If the guy really didn't like you, he'd watch your surfing habits and start blocking your favorite non-work sites. Not that I've done anything like that.... No, he is just trying for a power move, he is a snake. With this shady move, he gets some leverage over myself and the night shift guy. He does not know or really care what else I do on my computer. If he crossed that line and tried to block sites, some real hell would be raised. My boss relies way too much on me and an uncomfortable work environment due to someone that technically has no jurisdiction over me whatsoever is a real problem.

Taedrin Gallente The Green Cross	Posted - 2009.12.01 22:05:00 - [21] Edited by: Taedrin on 01/12/2009 22:06:37 Originally by: Hydroblunt Originally by: Nemiona he stopped you from doing other stuff than work when youre at work ? damn I feel sorry for you... try to install on a different computer, then just copy files to new computer on usb ? I play during downtime in background and passively. It's either that or search the web, read smth, stare pointlessly at the wall. I'll try the USB trick, that might actually work if EvE does not modify .dll & registry files a lot. Then bring a personal laptop to work and play it on that. It's somewhat unethical to be installing games on a company owned computer so that you can play them on your break. OTOH, CCP should REALLY not have the patch require administrator rights unless you actually need them. IE, if the current user has read/write permission to the install directory, then don't request admin rights. If the game is installed to a folder which the user DOESN'T have write access to, THEN request admin rights. Think about it, if you didn't need admin rights to patch the game, you never would have had that nasty little boot.ini problem back then. I am a part of the camp that hates it when developers require admin rights for things that shouldn't need them. ---------- There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made.
Roland Octavious	Posted - 2009.12.01 22:06:00 - [22] you are right, I would love to be able to play eve at work, however, the company feels there is no place for games on company systems.
Davie Bower	Posted - 2009.12.01 22:15:00 - [23] Misdirected hostility, IMHO. Don't blame CCP because your workplace doesn't want you to have complete control over their computers.

I've recently realized just how many fellow BOFH's there are playing EVE. Not that I should be suprised, considering it's a game made for the sociopath in us all.

Confirming this works. Turn off resource cache though. On another note, how do you like your pods in the morning?

Hehe, I actually have one of my laptops here which I take to starbucks to waste 3 hours before my training. Too much travel time to head home & back. I used to hook it up to the network here after work while I am chilling before the miserable loser had an attitude about it.

Not important enough to get local admin rights though.
