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

RMLLauncher is completely safe to use. It's important to note that both RMLLauncher and Core are open-sourced, allowing users to analyze the code.

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:

  1. RMLLauncher.exe

  2. C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\RaftModLoader

Select your Antivirus from the list below to get a detailed guide:

2. You should be done !

Simply restart our launcher and it should be working !

Your antivirus is not on the list? Search on google "how to add exclusions in [Your antivirus name...]" and there should be a support website from that antivirus explaining how to do it. You will have to add both exceptions

If you encounter any further errors or experience the same issue, please visit the #support channel on our . Our team is more than happy to assist you. 🙂
