Was that a local message for you? Could you share a screenshot of it please and try to redownload?

The download is working for us here.

Hello Tom_,

Thank you for your interest in Flashpoint Southern Storm! Sorry to hear you're having trouble downloading the game.

Sometimes anti-virus software can interfere with downloading files. Have you tried turning your anti-virus off and redownloading?

Hi Tom,

That's a local anti-virus issue. Often when a game is first released, even though we digitally sign them to show that they are trusted and have been scanned here, some anti-virus software initially assumes that it's a dangerous file and blocks the download. The best way around this is to disable your anti-virus to let the download finish.

It's not an issue on our side.

Great news got it working.
There was a windows update waiting in the pipeline, once I installed that it all worked. So, no need to disable anti-virus.
Thanks everyone !
