Armada 2526 Causing Firewall Warnings

I noticed while playing this game it is constantly sending network traffic out to 224.0.0.252
AFAIK this is a multicast address used mainly by routers. Any idea why this is happening?

No idea. Are you 100% certain this is coming from the game? In any case, I will ask the developer. Armada 2526 doesn't currently have multiplayer support, but it was designed with it in mind so perhaps this is some part of that design that was not turned off for the release.

That's news to me. There is nothing intentional in the game that does that, and there was never any network code written, so it's nothing that I forgot to turn off. If it's really coming from Armada, I can only assume it's from some sub component I've used, but what or why, I have no idea.
