Excellent, Alvek! You are awesome! Thank you!

Edit: Opening screen still reads 2.1.0.2, but the Empire Policy Screen is fixed.

Yeah, forgot to change splash screen version. Re-uploaded zip with fix for splash screen

Alvek, there is a problem with version 2.1.0.3: Windows keeps flagging this as a Low Risky Action Blocked, on Attack Surface Reduction. Been trying to exclude this from Windows Defender, editing Group Policy, etc., but I can't seem to make it work. Thought to let you know... thanks!

Your screen shot says it blocked PowerToys util. Not sure why it would block it thought.
Looks like power launcher sub util somehow got weird interaction with DWU on launch ?

Confirmed starting game error with PowerRun from PowerToys, will look into it. I use ESET NOD and Defender disabled, so not sure about false positive, maybe fixing error will remove that.

Just using Windows Defender. All my game files are excluded but this false positive with 2.1.0.3 keeps flagging. I’m not as savvy as you. I’ve gone back to version 2.0.0.6 which works nicely. But I’m only modding and playtesting so I can wait for a fix with the latest version. Thank you.

Version 2.1.0.4-beta:
Fixed error during game start through PowerToys PowerRun

https://github.com/DW-UX/DistantWorldsE ... 1.0.4-beta

CaesarAug check if defender still have false positive.

Oh, that was fast! Will check as soon as I get back home!

Alvek, unfortunately, the same error is flagged with 2.1.0.4, see screenshot.

Still not sure it's DWU flagged, can you post all additional info that Defender have on that report? Virus total have problem only with Dll and only on 2 of 72 (ClamAV and Google).
