Hello everyone!
A new hotfix is now available on the beta branch, addressing an issue where Windows could prevent the Out of Ore executable from launching.
This issue was related to Windows Smart App Control, which could block the game executable from running for some players.
We are continuing to work through the reports coming in, and more fixes will follow as we resolve them.
Thank you to everyone sending in reports and helping us track down these issues!
Remember that this is an optional Beta update and is still being polished with the help of everyone participating in beta testing and reporting issues.
