Virus found

[Haste]

For the baseline installer (discovery_5.00.8.exe) I'm getting virus detection triggers on Bitdefender and uploading it to VirusTotal shows Symantec, Eset-Nod32 and AliCloud flagging it for malware. While I'm pretty sure this will be a false positive I'm still irked by quite so many different engines throwing this concurrently; first time I've seen it for an installer like this.

The 5.0 installer still includes CapitalClassFixes.dll. While it's completely innocent (we've even released the source somewhere before) and just makes the game think ships of type GUNBOAT, CRUISER, etc. are "FREIGHTERs" so that control mapping works properly, it greatly upset a variety of antivirus software. Detection started shortly after launching 5.0, and I believe a virus "did the rounds" that injected code in a similar way, except of course maliciously. It's likely we got "swept up" in that.

We tried all sorts of things, but ultimately couldn't resolve this issue, and have since stripped out that .dll and instead baked the edits into the game executable/dlls directly. Unfortunately, as it's still included in the 5.0 installer, it gets flagged for it.

Here's me dropping that dll into VirusTotal:

We really should ship a new installer with 5.3 so people don't get jumpscared by a bunch of false positive detections.
