Hi there. When started the game with multi-thread experimental mode AVG quaranties de bellwrightgame-win64/shipping.exe file as threat name IDP.Generic. Not sure why that happened. Any thoughts?

I'd highly recommend joining their discord. You are much more likely to get assistance much quicker. They may see this eventually though.

Sometimes anti virus throw up false positives and hammer files they shouldn't. You should be able to manually exempt/allow the file in your antivirus right?

Afaik, if you make sure the steam folders you have stored games in, is on allowed lists in your anti virus, things like this shouldn't happen.

Because AVG is what it is and because all modern AVs have randomized biased heuristics and "PUP" enabled by default.

IDP.Generic is mostly tiggered by "potentially unwanted prorgam" (PUP) feature and it means false positive flag.
