I'm currently in a PM talk with someone who gets virus messages from his anti-virus program when he tries to download the old client. And now his dad forbids him to download it because he thinks it's a virus. I already explained him that it isn't one and why this happens, but he doesn't believe me, it seems.
Can anyone from the developers hop in for a moment and confirm that the game files are all safe so that I can show him that, please?

Call me cynical, but I doubt even one of the devs of the game would convince someone that concerned about viruses that the game is safe.  My dad refused to let us hook up our Wii to the house network because he was afraid of, as I understood it, someone using that as an opening to get onto our network and getting at files in other computers.  He wasn't so paranoid that he didn't let us download anything, but there was a slight over-caution that wasn't easy to overrule.  At least he's not trying to lord over downloads on my personal laptop.  If anything, I did gain a sense of caution when downloading stuff too...but it does border on paranoia quite often.   :I

Probably open to all; this is kind of a special OSW but I doubt there would be exclusions short of rule-breakers.  I'd suggest patience for now.

It's an open test, not a closed one. Don't worry, the game will be available for everyone! :)

Well, people are different. And the anti-virus program he uses told him that there were a lot of trojan ponies horses on his computer after downloading the client.
So his concern has legit reasons. It must not be paranoia in this case.

Looks like this OSW is pulling a "August 2014" on us. :(

Whoa, wait, it's tonight? I thought it was tomorrow night!  :P I guess I should've paid more attention. At least I still have time to prepare.

Do I delete the old files from the last OSW? I don't want to mess anything up..

It's best to delete the old files and replace them with the new build, so there is less chance of files conflicting

If your friends dad wants to contact me to confirm that this is safe he is always welcome to email me at [email protected]. For this Open weekend both the Windows builds were provided by me and the Linux and Mac builds provided by natfoth. The reason why his Anti-Virus is triggered is that unfortunately sometimes games built in the Unity 3D engine are considered as viruses. Many games built in Unity 3D experience this issue unfortunately. As developers there is little we can do about it.

I have downloaded the x64 version of the client and when I start the game through the launcher and try to log in, it tells me that I have to update the game.
But the launcher says the game is up-to-date. :o
What should I do?
