Hi! I just downloaded beacon from the itch.io bundle, but I can't seem to get the game running. After extracting, I try to open the beacon exe, but I get a "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not the appropriate permissions to access the item". I then get "The parameter is incorrect." when I try to open it again. I've also tried running as admin, but it's the same. Other games I've downloaded from the bundle are working alright, so I'm wondering if there's something I need to do?

I think this is an issue we can fix but it might take a couple of days. I'll respond back when a new build is uploaded that should fix it!

Before we try the fix requiring a new build to be uploaded, could you check your Antivirus settings if you're using one? You might need to set it to "trust" the Beacon folder.

Thank you for such a quick response! You were right about the antivirus. I recently switched so I didn't realize it wasn't notifying me when it just went ahead and put files in quarantine! The game is launching fine now. Sorry for the hassle!
