Quick Download Test Needed — Last Signal: Outpost Vega

I’ve recently had a player mention that they were unable to download LAST SIGNAL because they were seeing a “quarantined” message.

The interesting thing is that I’ve tested both the Windows and Android builds myself on another device, and both downloaded and started normally without any warning or issue.

So I’d really appreciate it if a few of you could try downloading the game and let me know:

Were you able to download it normally?
Did you see any quarantine/security warning?
Which version did you download — Windows or Android?
If you get any warning or error, could you please send me a screenshot?

I’m trying to figure out whether this is an issue with the game page, the files, or something specific to a user’s device/security software.

LAST SIGNAL is free to download, so even if you only have a minute to test the download, it would really help me identify and fix the issue.

I'm not able to run the download test for you but the symptom has a standard cause and it explains why you can't reproduce it.

Windows SmartScreen flags unsigned executables on reputation and that reputation is tracked per file hash. A brand new unsigned build has none so some users see the warning and others never do. Your own machine is the worst possible test because it already trusts a file it has seen before. Android does the same thing through Play Protect on a sideloaded apk.

So it's probably not your page and not an infected file. It's the missing signature. Signing costs money but it's the only thing that clears this properly.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what might be causing the download warning. I’ll definitely look into code signing and improving the distribution process for future builds. Glad to hear it doesn’t necessarily indicate an infected file. Thanks again for testing the game!
