Mcafee is detecting a virus

[GrillerZ]

Mcafee is detecting a Virus In the exe file and is putting the file in quarantine. Any advice on this issue?

[GrillerZ]

no mods using windows 10, I played the game yesterday just fine.

No officially reply right now, it seems what we can do is to trust or wait.
To trust you may just exclude the executive file Darkest.exe from McAfee scan plan, or just shut the antivirus/firewall.
To wait, is just wait. Not sure if this should be responsed to RedHook or McAfee.

i've heard deleting system 32 can help with these sorts of things. might be worth a shot

I am getting the exact same problem. Can't access the game at all.

SoI have restarted my computer, and re-installed the game. I would wilingly disable my mods, but I can't access those. I am getting "insufienct resources exist to complete the requested service" and then quarantine notice.

Tried switching off firewall briefly, but still can't start game.

Same problem here including after redownloading a new exe file.

I am using McAfee.

Spy Turtle what antivirus are you using? This totally sucks.

To fix this you need the add the .exe to file exceptions in McAfee

This is the second I've done that. It said permissions for the program already exists, but I still can't start the game. Anyone else attempted to add this manually and still having the same problem?

Adding to exclusions worked for me fine. Are you sure the DARKEST.exe is still in "Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\_windows" and not in McAfee quarantine?

Yeah, so to be sure I re-installed a third time. Before starting up the game, added the exclusion. Same quarantine popped, and now the file is no longer in folder. I'm wondering if this a McAfee problem? Is that what you use?

[Dark Helmet]

Yes, I also use McAfee.

Go to qurantine if you haven't and restore the file or redownload it.

The quarantine should only pop up if the exclusion didn't work. I would double-check to make sure the exclusion worked and the DARKEST.exe is under exclusions, then make sure you have that exe in the proper folder (shown in my other post).

Maybe also make sure that you don't have multiples of that file... Only thing I can think of for that...

[jmontesalt2]

.exe is also showing up in the windowsonsteam folder is it supposed to be there?

There are multiple files quarantined, so I'm going to get rid of them and re-install, do the exclusion, then restore if necessary. Thanks.

Avast use to do this for me as well, after a recent game update it stopped though. So maybe the devs are working on fixing it as well.

[jmontesalt2]

ughhhh so, it won't let me exclude it, and when I restore it just quarantines the file again. Devs, please help.

[Dark Helmet]

Yeah, the DARKEST.exe (the one in caps) and should be in "DarkestDungeon/_windows" folder, as far as I know, that's the ONLY exe that you have to worry about and that needs to be excluded. Having only one DARKEST.exe in exclusions and proper game folder and nowhere else.

The Darkst.exe in /windowsnosteam is fine, you can leave that alone, I have that as well and it works.
