Title: How to get the game to work?
Post by: TheFadingSon on November 27, 2012, 12:08:54 am

Hello there. I have been trying to get UFO AI to work. I download it and it says not a commonly downloaded site. It only offers me to delete the game. I been trying for two days to try this game out. Can you offer any assistance?

Kind Regards,

It is not the game's fault IMHO, maybe you OS or Antivirus software? Please write more detail, maybe attach a screenshot.

You may want to try getting the 2.4 stable version from a torrent posted in this thread (http://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,6597.msg51743.html#msg51743).

Googled on the issue and found that an other software had this issue too...

The warning comes from some "SmartScreen Filter" security software of Windows 8 or Internet Explorer 9. The page says:

"Please note that <Software name> setup file does not have a digital signature and this can cause some security warnings in Internet Explorer and in Windows 8. In some cases, Internet Explorer 9 or Windows 8 SmartScreen Filter might pop up a warning stating that the setup file is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer. This happens because the setup file has not been digitally signed and the program has been recently updated."

If Win8/IE9 really judges a software only on its digital signature, it is really dumb... but who would expect professional solutions from a Microsoft product... :)

The site also describes how to override the warning:
