Can't install new version of the game
« on: January 11, 2020, 12:37:47 PM »

Hello!

I purchased the game today and the exe for Starsector will not run, it just freeze's the folder. I can't even move the exe or delete it (Deletes after restarting my PC). I have tried it three times now.
However I found the version before (RC7 instead of RC8, it says) and it installs fine with no problems at all.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

Hi - sorry about the trouble! Can you try temporarily disabling SmartScreen (and if that doesn't help, your anti-virus), and re-downloading the game? Usually it's just SmartScreen taking 15 minutes plus to scan the file for... some reason.
