Notice: Due to a recent incident with namecheap flagging the game as malware and suspending the domain, the zip is now password protected. The link has not changed, but the password is "SBYW", in all caps, without the quotes. Upon the release of version 5.3.4, it will be necessary to manually download the game. The zip is also encrypted with AES-256, which Windows may or may not handle. I recommend 7-zip.

SBYW version 5.3.4 and a corresponding sounds update have been released. The automatic updater will fail to extract this zip file and ask you to do so manually. The password is SBYW in all capitals. The default Windows unzip functionality cannot handle the AES-256 encryption that is used to avoid easy detection of false positives, so a third-party program such as 7zip, WinRar, or WinZip is necessary. Please use the 'extract here' option of such a program to extract the content in the current directory, replacing all existing files. Once you have updated, the game should be capable of extracting future updates on its own, including the now released 5.3.4.1 patch.
