Users on communities like r/PiratedGames have reported issues with "wrong" download buttons on the site leading to small .rar files (around 18MB) containing malware rather than the actual game (which is usually several GBs).
If your .rar file is significantly smaller than the listed game size, do not run the .exe .
Ensure your DirectX End-User Runtimes and Visual C++ Redistributables are up to date. 3. Safety Warning
