NIRCMD ??? What is it for? Why it's in the game files?

[BadSad]

Found nircmd folder in game files...
"NirCmd is a small command-line utility that allows you to do some useful tasks without displaying any user interface. By running NirCmd with simple command-line option, you can write and delete values and keys in the Registry, write values into INI file, dial to your internet account or connect to a VPN network, restart windows or shut down the computer, create shortcut to a file, change the created/modified date of a file, change your display settings, turn off your monitor, open the door of your CD-ROM drive, and more... "

My questions are... WHY? What for? I'm no expert but seems a bit weird.. sketchy?.

Ah, you bet your bottom dollar that is sketchy, I never thought to look through the files. Nice find, can it be disabled?

We are using Unreal Engine 4.21 which is not running on Intel 10th gen and newer processores without workarounds. We are executing bat file "TrainLaunch.bat" before turning on the game to execute this code "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000" so the game will turn on. You can see full bat file yourself, it's in the game main folder. Running this file without nircmd make the console be visible whole time the game is running, which we didn't like and nircmd was the easiest fix for that. You can check all the files if you want, there is only a few of them.

are there plans to change this and have the game start and run differently? Why use UE 4.21, UE 4.26 is still very viable. NIRCMD sounds like it leaves anyone's PC open to attack.
