Here’s how players can use the workaround:Download Guardian from Gitlab.Once installed, select “Locked Session.”According to Speyedr, this only works for solo sessions, single, or non-host players; however, they recently warned players about the high risk of not installing the Guardian properly during the current PC RCE exploits.Speyedr@Speyedr_AUJust to reassure everyone--Guardian still works, and this new exploit doesn't somehow bypass Guardian.HOWEVER, the chance of any user (especially beginners) setting up Guardian incorrectly in a way that doesn't protect them is too high for such a dangerous exploit.37828Just to reassure everyone--Guardian still works, and this new exploit doesn't somehow bypass Guardian.HOWEVER, the chance of any user (especially beginners) setting up Guardian incorrectly in a way that doesn't protect them is too high for such a dangerous exploit.Fans should note that the developers haven’t officially recognized the issue by the time of writing this article; however, they can expect a fix to address these exploits soon.
