⚠ "Windows protected your PC"? — that's expected, here's what to do

Like most community Arma tools (DZSA Launcher, ArmA3Sync, Maca134's launcher), our launcher isn't yet signed by a paid certificate authority. Windows shows a SmartScreen warning the first time you run any unsigned exe downloaded from the internet — it's the operating system being cautious, not a sign anything's wrong.

How to run it anyway:

  1. Click More info on the blue dialog
  2. Click Run anyway at the bottom
  3. Approve the UAC prompt to install

You'll see the warning once. After install, updates apply silently in the background.

// RELEASE NOTES · v0.1.14
0.1.14 — keywords matching + opt-in Steam launch

- A2S keywords field now parsed (build numbers, BattlEye flags, etc.)
- Modpack admins can use match_patterns like \bn144629\b to auto-link 
  servers reporting that build
- "Mods needed" dialog when joining a server with no matched modpack
- New Settings option: "Launch via Steam protocol (experimental)" — 
  off by default, opt-in only. Eliminates UAC prompt for Steam users 
  but is untested with all BattlEye configurations.
