Is it just me, or is there no longer a method to trigger the shovel at the end of Olver's Quest? All guides say, to "right-click" the shovel, Libertatis assigned that to swithcing to mouse-look... what am I supposed to do here?
EDIT: encountered another error on Level 8, the pressing machine won't accept the "shiny orb".

Another one:
1.1.2: This is another small hotfix, this time to fix a crash when hovering over map markers after the window size or resolution has changed. ((

Hi, we finally managed to get a new release out: Arx Libertatis 1.2 "Mega Mega Mega"
This release brings improved rune recognition when casting spells, as well as a new bow aim mode. Support for high resolutions and wide monitors is enhanced with configurable HUD and player book scaling. The text and audio language can now be changed in the menu. Further, item physics have been fixed and item dragging has been refined. On top of that, this release adds a console to execute arbitrary script commands.
Announcement with more details: (

Your dedication is inspiring. Thank you for sticking with this for so long. Looking forward to trying it when I get some time.

It could be some sort of false positive. I tore apart the arx.exe in the root folder of the zip with a hex editor and ghidra, and I can't see anything obviously nefarious. All it seems to do is launch the x86 or x64 version of arx.exe in the \bin\ folder based on machine architecture. The only other things in the file besides the simple program code are icons and a program manifest.
I'm not the most astute malware analyst, but I can't seem to see anything actually bad about the launch stub app. If it makes you feel any better, the arx.exe's in the \bin\x86\ and \bin\x64\ test clean on VirusTotal, so maybe just run those direct?

Thanks for checking! I will wait a while for further reports or perhaps a change of the malware assessment by the browsers before I execute the installer. I have other games I can complete first.

Still the case. I also had Firefox (i.e. Google) flag the download as a virus but I went ahead anyway and then scanned it locally. Windows Defender didn't complain, but MalwareBytes identified it as a (
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/trojan-crypt/) Trojan.Crypt. There's a couple of complaints (
https://www.gog.com/forum/arx_fatalis/arx_libertatis_virus) on GOG about this too, and it seems to be a long-running issue judging by (
https://bugs.arx-libertatis.org/arx/issues/1477) this bug report from 2020.

I'm no expert either, but an .exe launching another .exe seems like prime material for AV solutions to spaz over even assuming stuff's code-signed. In any case, wouldn't it be better to dump the stub launcher and split the packages into 32 and 64-bit builds? It doesn't seem like too much to ask of a user to download the appropriate version for their OS and it should reduce the likelihood of false positives going forward.

I'm also not an expert, but to me that sounds incredibly common. For starters, that describes about 99% of shell scripts :) but I'm sure a large proportion of the PC games I've played over the years had some kind of launcher program.
