⚠️ Important Announcement

Some players have reported receiving a virus warning when launching the game.

Rest assured: The game does not contain any viruses or malicious software. 🛡️ These warnings are false positives caused by Windows Defender or other antivirus programs, due to a code-signing/certificate issue in certain regions. 🔧 We are actively working on a permanent fix.
