Bypassing Antivirus Blocks

Since this is an internal, unsigned build, Norton Antivirus will likely flag QueensVector-Win64-Shipping.exe. This is a false positive based on the file's lack of a "digital signature."

How to Allow the Game:

  1. Norton Pop-up: Click the More Options dropdown and select Always Allow or Exclude from Future Scans.

  2. If the file is deleted (Quarantine): * Open Norton > Security > History.

    • Select Quarantine from the dropdown menu.

    • Locate the game file, click Options, and select Restore & Exclude.

  3. General Rule: DO NOT run the game as Administrator. It is not required and does not bypass antivirus blocks.
