  • Secure temporary file handling

๐Ÿ” Security Best Practices for Users

Installation Safety

  • Download only from official sources
  • Verify file checksums before installation
  • Use dedicated game directories
  • Regular backup of game saves and configurations

Configuration Security

  • Review configuration changes before applying
  • Use separate profiles for experimental settings
  • Monitor game behavior after modifications
  • Keep original game files as backup

System Protection

  • Run with minimal required privileges
  • Use updated antivirus software
  • Monitor system for unusual behavior
  • Regular security updates for OS and dependencies

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Security Development Process
