How to fix it is for the devs to fix it on their end. People should NOT be disabling virus software ever.

The devs will not remove this functionality, just plain will not happen. This is one of their best anti-cheating countermeasures. If you don't like it, don't play it.

I did not tell anyone to disable their antivirus, I told them to tell it not to scan this specific file, or at worst the P1999 folder. Troll harder.

That's not a very satisfying answer. No other games I play feel the need to do this. It punishes 99% of the population for the 1% who cheat, and the 1% who cheat will find another way. They probably already have. I would bet money on it.

Then go play one of the games you have to pay to purchase and/or play.

ALSO, you must not play Diablo II or Diablo III or WoW? I know for a fact MANY games are allowed to see what .exe's you have running to prevent cheating, etc, which is what this .dll does.

This server is unique among emulators in how well policed the cheating is. No one is being punished because you willingly submit to the anti-cheating measures when you play here. That is the cost of Project 1999, and it will not change.

Cheaters will continue to do so, and the devs will continue to fight them. That is the nature of escalation, and it will not change.
