Common questions

Are these links hosted on mkwrecomp.wiki?

No. Every download link points straight to github.com/adriadam10/mkw-recomp/releases/download/…. Always verify the SHA-256 digest in the checker above before launching.

Why is the Windows ZIP ~173 MB without game assets?

The package bundles a portable Python build, zig 0.17.1 with prebuilt C runtime libraries (fixing the 359/360 link hang), glslc, SDL3, Opus, libvpx and the Dear ImGui launcher so you do not have to install compiler toolchains manually.

Does Windows SmartScreen warn on mkw.exe?

Yes, because open-source GitHub release builds do not carry a paid EV Authenticode certificate. Match the SHA-256 digest against the ledger above before choosing More info -> Run anyway.
