Running programs as unprivileged user

Post by deadmilk »

Hi all,
I was attempting to run FiveM through wine, however the application will not launch if it detects it is being run under the Administrator account.

Is there any sort of way to either bypass this check, or run the program as an unprivileged user?

Not in the development or stable branches, but wine-staging has patches to implement UAC, so try that. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613#c9
