URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey guys, not really the announcement I wanted to be bringing you guys before the announcement of a Tank Team 2, but it seems a malicious third party is actively trying to compromise player accounts, so I wanted to share this warning with you all while I try to find a solution.

So far, we have received multiple reports but the story doesn't quite seem to be the same among them, some are saying that malicious .bat files are being downloaded along with regular map folders, others are saying that joining a lobby can allow hackers hosting the lobby to call RCE (Remote Code Execution) exploits, and honestly I'm not sure what is happening, but I've reached out to Steam to try and get this issue fixed. As far as I can tell though, the plugins I've used to create the game (Mirror for the multiplayer, FizzySteamworks for the Steam integration) don't seem to have a history of exploits or RCE vulnerabilities, so I'm hoping it just on the Steam end which is more fixable.

For the time being, PLEASE ONLY JOIN LOBBIES HOSTED BY SOMEONE YOU TRUST

I'll let you know if and when we manage to fix this issue, but Steam has a history of being vulnerable to exploits such as this, specifically when it comes to the Workshop, so worst case I may have to permanently disable the Workshop maps, but I'm going to explore every avenue before I nuke it all.

Sorry the announcement can't be more positive, and I have no idea who would do this to such a small indie game that only started out as my introduction to releasing games on Steam, but here we are...
