anyone else's antivirus picking up "ManorLords-win64-shipping.exe"

been playing for awhile with no hiccups loading then all of a sudden my antivirus says i have a virus in this executable. anyone else have this problem? antivirus is AVG.

Greetings,

Well run the check on the file, see what it see's.

- Most cases it's a false positive, as there is an exe program, and it's not sure what to do.
- Or the AVG has not been updated to have current knowledge of that file.
- Any new program sometimes gets this reaction, not enough time passed since the release for an update.

If you trust the program and download site then allow it through.

I got the same message when I started Manor Lords. I even had to restart my PC for that. Is this further due to that experimental update? I have never experienced this before.

i used virus total to check it and it said it was a trapmine virus. my antivirus is updated. it worked fine yesterday. i uninstalled and reinstalled. guess i could just make it an exception...... not that thats a good thing either. could be a false positve like you said, dunno how to check for that.

Greetings,

Could do a google and check if that anti virus program is picking up an actual "addition" to the download. Or .exe is just too new.

According to Virus Total:

1/71 security vendor and no sandboxes flagged this file as malicious
Bkav Pro - W64.AIDetectMalware - Acronis (Static ML)

So, clearly a false positive by 1 out of 71 vendors.

Using avast, it flagged some ♥♥♥♥ and now i cant run the game due to win64-shipping.exe - even after reinstalling

I have the exact same problem. Played yesterday and everything was fine, tried launching the game, AVG shut the game down and said something that I clicked away to fast now I get the same error when I try to launch the game. Rebooted a few times, updated AVG even tried running the game with AVG turned off, all with the same error. Lost as to what to do???

That experiment with the beta update apparently caused more harm than good. The only thing we have to wait for now is a fix because I'm not going to do anything with my AVG, adding and/or modifying files in the list and all that kind of nonsense. Just sort it out so that everything turns out fine again, period.

solved my issue by taking the file out of quarantine and restoring it. game works fine now

So here's what I did.

After the crash, verify the files, it says one needs to be re-downloaded. Trying to do this then led to Steam Disk Error.
Restart computer and the download should work (25mb) when completed then go to Avast Menu > Settings > Exceptions > Add Exception > Browse> Steamapps/common/Manor Lords/ManorLords/Binaries/Win64. Select ManorLords-Win64-Shipping.exe (Make sure you exempt this file and not the dll file like my dumb ass did.)

And you should be golden!

My thanks to those who set me in the right direction.
