i've made it so my antivirus ignores it now, yeah, cause before it would simply delete the new .exe file without telling me it was doing so, or outright stopping me from downloading it entirely
stopped it from doing that, even turned the entire thing off for a few tries, but it still crashed
running it as administrator doesn't work either, it keeps crashing with everything i try
i guess the game really doesn't want to be played ;'D
