OMG steam version too

Probably a false positive. It's just a heuristics based analysis, can be expected to do some errors. Already submitted a false positive report to bit defender.

Also what's stupid about it is, the executable just launches the game.

[DeltaNedas]

this is an issue with your antivirus
read and compile the source then

#!/bin/sh
java -jar Mindustry.jar

[itcannotbe]

It's not the .jar that getting flagged @DeltaNedas it's the executable.

I've never seen anyone else report AV issues recently, so unless it's a widespread problem this isn't worth looking into. They probably don't like the EXE icon.

[DeltaNedas]

if the launcher is the problem use the simple script, chmod +x and use

[Anuken]

chmod +x

If you were running this on Linux, you wouldn't have a problem with antiviruses in the first place.
