When I downloaded the game, my PC's virus software popped up saying the download had a trojan virus in the game files. Did this happen to anyone else? If so how did you guys fix it?
You have to make an exception for the game in your virus protection. Here's a thread that might be useful. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/making-mapleroyals-an-exception-in-windows-defender.103839/
You disable anti virus temporarily, disable real-time protection temporarily if your anti virus has it. then you hope to hell its not a trojan like every other mapler. Or if it is, hope that the GMs and Admins at least don't screw you over too badly.
If you're on Windows 10, you gotta disable Windows Defender completely or it will re-enable itself automatically after a while. Thats what happens when you're on Windows 10 Home. There's a special way to 100% disable it. I forgot where the guide is though, but if you're not on Windows 10 it's irrelevant.
