NOTE: In Windows, your antivirus may flag the patcher as malware. This is a false positive, and you can safely ignore it. If you are still unsure, you can inspect the source code, and/or compile it yourself for extra verification. You can also temporarily disable your antivirus to download the patcher, or add an exception for it if you put it in a dedicated folder.
