Is it possible that we don't need to change the , and . ?
I have reinstalled the Game and doesn't change the , and . in the Region Settings on Windows.
But i am from Germany
Once you do that you will need to start a new game (assuming you already started one).
You can change the settings back once you have finished playing.
You might find the known issues thread helpful:

Oh yeah I forgot about that. For me new campaign usually means new version so it didn't click.

Did you upgrade a 1.11 save to 1.12 and then attempt to play?
1.12 is not a save compatible patch, also playing such save can result in unintended bugs

I too am in favor of an MD5 (well, strictly if we want to be secure we should use something other than MD5 since thats been cracked, so a careful hacker could cover their tracks fairly easily compared to a SHA hash or something).
The file is stored completely separate from the forum software and files.
Speaking of passwords are any of them aurora123?
No, but that is the combination to my luggageQuoteOn a more serious note have you considered adding TLS/SSL for the forums?From the host, a dedicated certificate runs $100 a year with a $25 setup fee. See the Donations thread on why that probably won't happen
That would ensure that communication between the browser and the server is secure and that messages between them cannot be tampered with during transit.
The file path for the 1.12 patch is also on pentarch.org so I think it would also add security during file downloads.
Or a self-signed certificate? Not particularly useful for proving identity, but....

Unfortunately I'm away from my normal computer so I can't check the files I originally downloaded.

The other thing which could be done is Steve could submit the file to microsoft and ask them to stop treating it as a false positive.
The relevant page is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/submission-guide
Obviously that's a bunch of work for him and I don't know how quickly they'll sort it out. It also might need to be done for every new release.
Reasonable paranoia aside, I think this is pretty safe.For what it's worth the SHA of 1.12.0 I downloaded a few days ago matches the one in your post.
