You can find the updated version on github

Downloaded...dropped contents of zipfile (bin folder)....replaced 18 files...started game... Doesn't start. Crap.

Edit: I am a dumbass. Drop the bin folder inside the zipfile you downloaded ON the Cyberpunk 2077 game folder, not on the bin folder _inside_ the game folder.

On Virustotal there is one positive detection for virus RiskTool.XMRigMiner.n

Please tell where exactly you found RiskTool.XMRigMiner.n ?
Thanks

1/66 security vendor flagged this file as malicious

yes it's only one but I don't want to take the risk to transform my pc into a dataminer

Thanks for the headsup, I had wondered why I didn't see it populate the Nexus front page. We really need a reliable alternative for mods that has less insane people running the site. (Beyond Github)

Direct link scanning gives negative result
Downloading and uploading the archive to VirusTotal does indeed confirm the threat Jiangmin RiskTool.XMRigMiner.n in CET 1.34.0

However

https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/107?tab=files

Exactly the same operation with CET 1.33.0 versions on NexusMods (downloading and uploading archive to VirusTotal) gives a similar result with a positive threat Jiangmin RiskTool.XMRigMiner.n

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6f3407c0280cba5f42f0e015a004977583b5c9546e66ce8a9f5e3a2db6e96a9f

It is difficult to say why the results of online scanning differ from the direct upload of the archive
The only thing that is known for sure is that Windows Defender does not detect threats in CET 1.33.0 and CET 1.34.0 archives respectively

Thanks PPBoyington for your information and attentiveness
If you have additional information please share it

I have studied the issue with the triggering of Jiangmin (KV Antivirus) Antivirus Engine
The immediate cause of the antivirus being triggered is bin/x64/version.dll file

Apparently RiskTool.XMRigMiner.n is a false positive, since there are many examples of false positives of the Jiangmin Antivirus Engine, such as the VLC media player, Adobe signed applications such as Creative Cloud and various .exe files of other games that I don't want to list in the Cyberpunk thread, but they can be found in a reddit search at Jiangmin false positive, they all got a false positive

Also, it is possible to make an unambiguous conclusion about the presence of a virus only after several antivirus engines have been triggered

Apparently, everything is fine with CET and this is a false positive

for some reason I had to repair my C++ library after the patch ...

I am unsure whether it is CET itself or related to some other mods I have installed, but I have had a little trouble with this version of CET.

Specifically, when I alt + tab out of cp2077 with the console open, the game crashes.
The solution I found is simply to make sure you close the console before alt + tabing out of the game.
