PenDriverPro won't let me play the game

[The_Holy_Stand_user]

So I took a break of the game an inevitable uninstalled it because I wanted to install another game, after a bit I decided I really wanted to continue so I reinstalled it just for it not to load whenever I started it and it being permanently a black screen and whenever I went onto task manager to close it, it always said it was using 0% if my CPU, after watching a random tutorial it still didn't work but noticed PenDriverPro was now in my game files and didn't think much of it as the person doing said tutorial had the exact same file.

Cut to now as I gave up trying to fix it I just uninstalled it, I have just reinstalled it but now whenever I start the game it asks me if I want to let PenDriverPro make changes to my device, the 1st screenshot shows what happens when I click no.


So after that I tried pressing yes and it does run the game and I thought it would work but when I do it would close the game after a few second and show the second screenshot

When I click continue it just gives me the prompt to let PenDriverPro to make changes to my device and so on, basically putting me in a loop of accepting and continuing and not being able to play the game (and when I press cancels on on the second screenshot it just closes the game)

I beg someone is able to give me a solution as I really want to play it again and it would just of been a waste of my money

Unfortunatly I am unable to copy the images to the here so if you don't mind go to:

This isn't the game - your antivirus software has false flagged the game, you need to disable that in your antivirus software and then it should run just fine.

Had a few reports like this from the end of last year, looks like the major antivirus software companies had an update. Pretty likely if you're using Malwarebytes, Avast, or McAfee.

Its better to advise to add the games root folder as a folder exception. Disabling the a/v often does nothing and will 100% be turned back on after a system reboot.

Oh and using more than one a/v will always cause issues

Thank you so much, this fixed the issue and I can now play the game, I can't thank you enough
