New Patch Problem

Post by Leonidas048 »

Hello i had a irritating problem today when i started up my game. There seem to be an update going on when i started the game i had no problems but when i closed it my Avast antivirus moved the exe file to its antivirus chest and i couldnt restore it so i had to uninstall the game and the antivirus then reinstall the game first then the antivirus. It has happened to me recently with another game from this site never had it before. I hope this doesnt keep happening when you do an update or patch thanks.

there's a few choices to this one, first one, is recommend a game friendly AV, which works with games tbh, or second

add the game and folder to the safelist, plus every update you download, and don't download to the desktop, always a folder anywhere but the desktop, and permissions will be given etc to install or unpack from there, where some times desktop folder won't.

most good AV programs don't have issues with games or update's, 2nd rate poor ones do, i'm sorry to say

Avast is one of the anti-virus more prone to false positives.
A false positive occurs when the Anti-virus software mistakenly flags an innocent file as being infected.

Give Webroot Secure Anywhere a shot. It's a really good AV and I've never had any problems downloading updates or patches.
VPaulus is right about Avast and false positives. Used to see it when I briefly used it.
