Tried to open the game, got this error:
\Wender_Windows\Wender.exe: An Application Control policy has blocked this file.
Don't know if this a problem on my end or with the game, but a solution would be helpful.
I haven't seen anyone have this issue before on Windows 11 with Windows Security, my game executables aren't signed cause it costs annually to get the certificates for them, so some sort of a "are you sure you want to run this?" warning is expected, but it shouldn't block it entirely.
I found a reddit thread that seemed to have a solution for the same sounding issue however, from that it sounds like something called Windows Security Smart App Control might be flagging Wender (cause of the lack of trust certificate), and then Windows Security blocks it.
Solution in the thread is to add the game as an exclusion in Windows Security and the thread lists steps for it as well. So either exclude the Wender folder, the 2 files (Wender.exe and Wender.pck) or the process (Wender.exe), and that should work. If you're OK with that then I'd say give that a try.
If not, the web version should work as well, but the performance is a bit worse, and there are some one-time freezes as the game loads up some shaders and particles for the first time.
