If your not able to open the game on pc go to your Microsoft virus protection and go to the protection history and make sure it says Referee Anti-Cheat change it from quarantine to allowed. If it uninstalled the anticheat from the RecRoom folder make sure to reinstall or verify integrity files

Reason why it’s saying it’s a Trojan is most likely because they are not renewing the certificate which is what deems most anticheats safe. So without it can make Microsoft think it’s a virus and do a false positive. It Should still be safe and someone with more knowledge can possibly explain better

it's safe, if it were a widespread issue it would've been fixed by now

#

so unless if you've downloaded from unofficial sources i'd just exempt and let it run

#

that, or there's an issue outside of rec room

in the morning the devs should be able to help people or renew it

Did you restart your pc and check the RecRoom folder and make sure referee anticheat is in the folder and not gone if it is reinstall RecRoom or verify integrity files
