according to my windows antivirus, the download for windows has a virus of sorts? if i should ignore this and just download the game or should i not download this?
windows defender uses machine learning for anti virus so it makes a lot of false detections. check if the detection says !ml in it becuase that means its just using machine learning instead of actually checking for a virus.
You have to turn off windows defender or look at a guide to whitelist the file. Windows doesnt like to play with files that are not in its registry of programs that are not by other reputable companies.
