I just upgraded from GameJackal 2.9.18.610 to 3.0.1.6, and the biggest difference I noticed is that GameJackal now always prompts for elevation in Vista (2.x didn't prompt, but I could right-click | Run As Administrator if I wanted to).
This is a pain, because if GameJackal is running elevated then it launches my games elevated. If my games are running elevated then my mouse software can't interact with them and my 5-button mouse starts acting like a 3-button mouse.
I can get around it by making GameJackal not launch the games automatically, but that means I need to start GameJackal, run the game separately, and shut down GameJackal afterwards.
None of my games so far have needed GameJackal running elevated to make things work, so I'm not sure why elevation suddenly became mandatory. In any case, would it be possible to get manifest-less versions of GameJackal.exe and GameJackal_cl.exe shipped with future versions, even if they're a non-default option? Running un-elevated works fine for me, and having to elevate is a pain.
