Hello Guys.Today i've received my Desura beta invitation (yeah!) .But when i made login with a normal user i get this message:
Failed to Login Error(https://secure.desura.com/3/ memberlogin)
With root account i can login successfully, but when i'll run a game this message appears:
Shadowgrounds should not be run as root. Exiting.OR Steel Storm: Burning Retribution should not be run as root. Exiting.

Thank you guys and sorry for bad english.

Is it possible you installed Desura as root? It should be installed with your normal user account.
