WINDOWS 10 BLOCKS THE GAME

    hello good , I just downloaded the game, but I have a problem: Windows 10 screen smart detects it as a virus. Not if it's true or not, freely downloaded from the official website. My antivirus is 360 security, I analyzed the game with my antivirus and says it is safe. HELP!!!!!

    Yes, windows has been doing this since Windows 8. If you try to run an exe file you download from the internet, it will assume it is unsafe and block it by default. For us to fix the warning, it looks like we would have to digitally sign the exe file somehow (which would cost money). Maybe eventually we could do this ...

    There is a button you can click to run the game anyway though. I found this online: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/02/09/how-to-bypass-smartscreen-filter-windows-protected-your-pc-in-windows-8/
    You can also smartscreen entirely, but it is easier to just click "more info" then "run anyway", and it shouldn't ever ask for again.
