Occasionally, aggressive antivirus programs or Windows Defender might quarantine critical setup files or crack files associated with the multiplayer build components. If your installation freezes or fails unexpectedly, check your Windows Security Protection History to restore any falsely flagged items.
After installation finishes, always let the built-in tool run its file verification scan. It checks the hash values of the extracted binaries against the master file list to ensure your multiplayer files were not corrupted during disk unpacking.
