Pop-Up At Startup

Post by surfcandy »

Anyone else get a pop-up at startup (after Matrix screen)about security warning. It seems I got this after the first patch.

Is it windows or your security program? If you installed the game in the default folder consider reinstalling the game in another folder like c:\Matrix Games\Tigers to the Hunt

I installed it on my larger other drive(G: for example) where I keep all my games.

G:\Matrix Games\Tigers to the Hunt

Okay then it is Windows 10 Smart Screen. I don't know how to fix this. I myself have Windows 10 and only got the question the first time I started the patched version. Try searching the webb for solutuions on Windows 10 Smart Screen. Future patches will have to come through Matrix to skip this problem.

Its because the patch was a zip file you downloaded from the internet instead of properly applied via the patch tool. Windows 10 recognizes that you got an executable file from anywhere and is protecting you from running it.

There should be a 'More info' button after getting the warning and a link on that second page for 'Open anyway' or 'Don't ask me about this file again' option.

Properly apply patch tool? What patch tool? I opened the patch and copy and patched and overwrite when asked.There was no patch tool.

The autorun.exe Matrix Games launcher has a Check for Update feature. You click a button and get the newest version.

That feature wasn't used for this first patch. Instead it was sent out as some exe files you're meant to manually copy to your install folder. That's why people are having problems since Windows assumes no one deploys software via stand alone exe files anymore except for malware and viruses. Everyone else uses a patcher or installer.

You can just click the "don't tell me about this anymore" checkbox.
