OK,



What the LUA test does is check whether a file (e.g. a game) has been rated by Microsoft. Evaluate whether the file makes any changes to the Windows registry file.

At the time the Silent Hunter series was released, that validation was not done by Microsoft. Silent Hunter therefore is not validated!

Now when Silent Hunter is started in a recent version of Windows, it is checked whether Silent Hunter is validated or not. No validation is found, so the infamous message “This app has been blocked for your safety” appears.

The LUA test is set to “on” by default, on is 1, off is 0.

So if you set the LUA test to 0, that test will not be done and your program will start normally.

It may be useful to reset the LUA test to 1 after closing Silent Hunter.

As you can see on my first post (05-11-2021, 05:38 PM), it takes a little time to turn off the LUA test (0) before the start of Silent Hunter and then after closing Silent Hunter back on (1).

Well, that can be greatly simplified by creating a so-called ".reg" file, nothing is easier than that.

For example, name the .reg file for starting Silent Hunter “Before Silent Hunter.reg” and the .reg file when you quit the game “After Silent Hunter.reg”.
To start a .reg-file, dubbelklick on it.
