Configuring your antivirus

This page will guide you on resolving false positive errors on RMLLauncher, ensuring a smoother experience without unnecessary interruptions.

Why is my antivirus suspecting RMLLauncher to be a Trojan/Malware?

Our launcher behavior might seem unusual to antivirus programs because it involves downloading files, loading code into the game and connects to servers. We also do not possess a yearly Microsoft code signing license, which can trigger alerts.

Since our software is open-sourced, If it were a virus, someone would have noticed by now. Rest assured, our community has thoroughly examined the software. So, you can trust RMLLauncher without any concerns. 😊

1. Adding exclusions in your antivirus

To prevent false positives for the launcher, add these two exclusions to your antivirus settings:
