Some users have reported that Windows Defender is flagging the open.mp Launcher as a Trojan/virus. This is a false positive, the launcher is completely safe to use.
The launcher is fully open source and you can review or build it yourself: https://github.com/openmultiplayer/launcher
We're already working on fixing this so future builds won't be flagged.
SA:MP has been stuck in limbo for years, with no updates and plenty of workarounds just to keep things running. open.mp changes that—it's a full rewrite that fixes long-standing issues, improves scripting, and removes old limits while keeping your existing code working.

It's finally here! 🎉 After years of development, rewrites, and challenges, we're excited to introduce Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of the open.mp server. This marks a major step towards our official 1.0 release, bringing significant updates, features, and improvements.
We've just released open.mp server beta 9, bringing major improvements, fixes, and the highly anticipated SA:MP 0.3.DL support! This update includes new features, better plugin compatibility, and enhanced server configuration options.
