Curvatron Update 2 - Antivirus problems

By Rebecca Smith,
Gist: if you had problems with Curvatron and your antivirus software, you can probably play the game now, but some features might be missing.

Some users have reported that Avast and Malwarebytes detect a certain file as being malicious. The culprit was a file named greenworks-win32.node, which is part of the plugin (Greenworks) that's responsible for all the Steam-related features like uploading to Workshop, community levels, and achievements.

The antivirus software would detect the file and delete/quarantine it, making it inaccessible to Curvatron and crashing it in the process. I have put in place measures to make sure the game no longer crashes under these circumstances, but the aforementioned features will remain unusable if the antivirus blocks this file. I have also tried compiling the file myself, so maybe it won't even get detected in the first place now.
