shieldWill my antivirus complain?expand_more
It might, and that's expected. Windows may show a “Windows protected your PC” box — click More info → Run anyway. A few antivirus engines flag it too.
Two honest reasons. The installer is not code-signed — a certificate is a yearly cost this project hasn't taken on yet — so Windows has nothing telling it who built the app. And the overlay legitimately does a few things malware also does: it watches for your hotkeys while you're in the game, it can read the screen if you turn that on, and it uploads item images when you opt in to contributing them. Nothing here is hidden — the source is public, so you can read exactly what it does.
What we can give you instead of a certificate is a hash. This is the SHA-512 of the 0.1.39 installer we built:
bhvny+syrj6FFsOcrL47ic2f9GpMAib58Nh/U1+xRKzins8DikGEgyTn7OknnUctSl+O/uUBuhoQQgyrZh6YzQ==Check your download matches — paste this into PowerShell:
[Convert]::ToBase64String([Security.Cryptography.SHA512]::Create().ComputeHash([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$HOME\Downloads\SC Overlay Setup 0.1.39.exe")))Same string back? It's the file we built, byte for byte.
Still blocked, or your antivirus names a specific threat? Tell me in Discord with the detection name — false positives can be reported to the vendor and cleared, and knowing which engine flags it is what makes that possible.
3Connect the overlay
Sign in above to generate a device token — that's what pairs the app with your account.
4Review your overlay settings
In the overlay app, open the Settings cog and check four things:
- chevron_rightGame log path — where the app watches for your blueprint drops
- chevron_rightScreenshots & image capture — off by default — turn it on to contribute item art
- chevron_rightStartup behaviour — whether the overlay launches with Windows
- chevron_rightSync — whether your collection uploads to this account
