I got the new Release Candidate 1 for MBP 1.50 and everytime i try to load it, I need to put in an admin password to load it. I'm on Windows 8.1 (This new laptop came with Windows 8.1 preinstalled). Could you try and fix this problem so that way I don't need to put the admin password in every time I load up the game please?

Have you tried redownloading the Windows launcher? The newest one should not require admin permissions; specifically, it now installs to a user-writable directory instead to avoid a rather serious security vulnerability.
Also, good job on actually following the support topic guidelines.

The launcher hasn't been updated yet, as far as I'm aware. Unless I'm missing something, the one in the Downloads section of this site still requires administrative rights.
But yes, this problem should be fixed soon.

Should be out soon. I believe HiGuy has been applying a few more fixes to the game script wise before pushing the next build. The new build will not require administrative rights.
I am a programmer. Most here know me for being one of the major contributors to Marble Blast Platinum and PlatinumQuest.
The new RC2 launcher is out, go get it! If it solves your issue (as it should), then reply so and I'll mark as resolved, or else I'll close this in a week anyway.
REALLY LATE EDIT: Closed. May have forgotten about this...
