Hi everyone,
I'll try to be short, I like this game and I want to play it at the office, the problem is that I'm not administrator I'm just a user, because instaling it is out of the question I tried copying the game already instaled but when I try to enter the lobby it says the game is not instaled and sends me to the download page. Does anyone have any ideea how to play without administrator rights?

Unless you can manually edit and access the system registry, you will not be able to get DS to workm even then it's an extemely difficult task trying to enter the relevant keys and working out the correct values. The most you are likely to get working will be the lobby, not the game itself.

Still I'm willing to give it a try, I'm now working on an way to access the registry, if you know what keys I need to edit and/or add it would be great. Thanks

My mistake, the lobby works, trying to connect to the servers sends me to the download page

I'm in the same situation, and I've not discovered a way to get it to work in non-Administrator mode.
Sorry.. but I don't think its possible..
