Antivirus note: Heuristic scanners and Windows Defender sometimes flag new injector builds until definitions update. That is a known community report pattern, not proof of malware. Compare hashes or the published signature before trusting a restored file. The full add-on build is unsigned by design.
Share only preset *.ini files. Do not redistribute binaries or shader archives. Point others to a legitimate download page instead.
