Turn-based tactics game Menace has encountered a significant issue shortly after its early access launch. Some antivirus programs are mistakenly identifying and deleting the GameAssembly.dll file, rendering the game unplayable for affected users.
Developer Recommendations
The developers of Menace have advised players to whitelist both GameAssembly.dll and Menace.exe to prevent these files from being incorrectly classified and removed by antivirus software. This step is crucial for ensuring the game remains functional.
First Update Patch Details
Alongside addressing the antivirus issue, Menace's first update patch introduces several new features and adjustments. Players will encounter new pirate enemies, including pirate veteran scavengers, scavenger armor, and a pirate heavy machinegun truck. Additionally, the splash screen has been optimized for ultra-wide monitors.
Gameplay mechanics have also been refined. Anti-tank mines now trigger for especially large non-vehicle units, and balancing tweaks include a new heat mechanic for laser and plasma rifles. A motion scanner accessory has been added for pirate EMP units, enhancing strategic depth.
