The following is a process of how to solve common problems with the game, providing that they have a solution.
### Why does my virus scanner not trust OpenRCT2?
Virus scanners employ a technique called "heuristics" that looks at how a program behaves, in order to try and detect malware it doesn't (yet) specifically know about. However, this can cause false positives. It is not clear what exactly causes them to flag OpenRCT2, but it might be the frequent updates or the fact it checks for administrative permissions. We certainly haven't put malware into OpenRCT2.
As of June 2019, we have made a few changes in order to reduce the amount of virus scanners falsely reporting malware. This will hopefully reduce the problem. If your virus scanners still detects malware, please add OpenRCT2 to your virus scanner's whitelist, or switch to one of a different vendor.
### Can OpenRCT2 increase the number of ...?
Not yet. See [here](https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Increasing-of-game-limits) why.
