Client and Server binaries has been updated to fix the "False Positive" issue (this was pushed yesterday, but for some reason did not go live for everybody).

How did this happen?
Microsoft updated Visual Studio 2019, broke something regarding their compiler, and caused every antivirus to freak out (even Microsoft's own). More information can be found here:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1046937/windows-defender-reports-a-trojan-1.html

The Fix
Updated to the latest version of Visual Studio 2019, and recompiled the executables. That did the trick. What caused everything to go crazy, was the Windows API for displaying a message box, that's it.

If you are still having issues, make sure to verify your files.

Happy Halloween!

To celebrate Halloween this year with this update, 2 new flatline maps has been introduced, 2 new weapons and 4 maps that has gotten a spooky makeover.

The new 4 maps will not replace the original version, and the Halloween versions of the map also comes with an easter egg that can be activated.


64-bit Progress
The entire engine is now under 64-bit, which means it's not far off. However, because of covid, 64-bit won't be ready until next year if things goes smoothly, and that It's just a single person working on this. More information about 64-bit and it's beta branch will be available once it's somewhat ready.
