Download error!
« on: December 22, 2018, 04:21:33 AM »

Hi. As the title says, I just purchased the game with PayPal. First, the download read as being a virus - failed - then, turning off Defender, now it's just saying "download error" every time I try. Not sure what's going on. Would really like to play this game. Looks fantastic. and not be out 15 dollars

Using chrome!

Edit: Also, I can provide screenshots/info from the receipt or whatever to prove I'm real if I need to. I just don't understand what's going on. I even have the activation code.

Edit 2: Failed on Firefox also!!!

Do the download links on http://fractalsoftworks.com/2018/11/16/starsector-0-9a-release/ work? Might be a quick workaround for the time being, since there's mirror links in that post as well.

None of them. Tried all the mirrors. It gets all the way to the end and then gives me a download error, no matter what browser I use. :(

(For posterity, I'm fairly sure the solution is turning off SmartScreen.)
