The anti-virus problem... (Patreon)

TLDR: I'll be uploading new versions of ERSS and NRSS that aren't considered malware in a few minutes.

Hi everyone,

As you may have noticed, the latest releases of ERSS and NRSS have been considered malicious by several anti-virus providers, especially Windows Antivirus. This is not because the mods are infected with malware. It's simply a false positive detection due to reasons I'm not entirely sure about. I was using an older (though still officially supported) compiler to build both mods, a combination of it and the specific compilation settings used could've potentially generated code that seem suspicious to malware scanners.

Somehow this slipped through Windows Defender on my system until I've reinstalled it recently. Now that Windows is working properly again, I have been able to resolve the issue by updating the compilers and adjusting some build settings. I'll be uploading new versions of ERSS and NRSS that should no longer trigger false positives and be quarantined.

I can only hope you will trust that I'm not trying to harm anyone using my mods (because that'd be incredibly stupid), and apologize for not having addressed this sooner. I simply wanted to spend more time for myself, friends and family during Lunar New Year rather than being online, and to relieve some pressure from maintaining my mods.

If you're wondering what I'm up to in regards to modding... I've managed to get my hands on a system affected by MHWSS jitter problem, thanks to an acquaintance, hopefully it'll help fix the mod for AMD GPU users. Though I still don't fully understand the bug yet so it's hard to say how long that'll take. I'm also going to continue working on my other unfinished projects, starting with Camera offset for Nightreign, XeSS3 and XeFG integration in my rendering mod framework (part of NRSS, MHWSS and my future mods), frame generation and upscaling in MHW, better anti-aliasing for Persona 5, and ER, AC6 compatibility in NRSS.

Thank you very much for continuing to support my works, even though I've been quite difficult to get to,

Tai.
