You may want to scan your PC if this is installed.

Malware.AI.2219845477 showed up in the GameAssembly.DLL for this game.

You may want to ease up on the heuristic settings for your scanner then; you got a false positive. This particular file is clean here.

Or something else on your machine infected the file, but my guess is that your heuristics are too restrictive.

Uninstall your crappy AntiVirus...

I will pass on that thanks. I have enough games I'd rather uninstall anything considered suspicious and play something else.

You do you though, have fun playing.

I will check its settings a little later then. Thank you for the constructive comment.

My pleasure; I hope it helps. Most people who use AV software tend to misunderstand what differentiates a computer virus between a legit instruction being performed at a more secure address; as a result, the tendency is to set the normal operation of the scanner to the highest security settings.

Makes sense right? Who doesn't want their computer as secure as possible?

Very broadly speaking, you've got two types of computer virus: known and unknown. Known virii are those that have been discovered, examined, and their particular characteristics (colloquially known as "signatures") registered into a database that scanners refer to in order to determine an exact match. An unknown virus is one that isn't registered, but does exhibit suspicious or concerning behavior, such as commands to display whatever values are held at a higher-security memory address. With unknown virii, the scanner has to use a particular algorithm, based on heuristic decision-making, in order to determine whether or not what is being asked for by the command(s) in a particular file constitute a security concern. If the file is determined to be suspicious, then the scanner will flag accordingly, based not on a signature pattern-match, but a heuristic one; it's very important to keep in mind that many heuristic positives are actually legit commands in legit files. Games with online components, either with or without anti-cheat mechanisms, almost always have legit need to be poking in higher security areas of the memory...because that's where most types of online cheating take place.

If a scanner flags a file, the first thing you should do is ask if you put that file there (as in, did you install the program this file is a part of?). edit: The second question is: does this file have any conceivable need to access and issue commands to higher security areas (or whatever else the initial flag reports as the concerning behavior of the file). The third thing is to scan it again with a lower heuristic setting, if possible, using another AV scanner; if the file is a sig-based pattern-matched virus, the scanner will flag it no matter the heuristic setting. If you know that you installed the program and the need of the file to access and perform certain operations is legit, and a second, less secure pass with the AV doesn't flag it, then you're, like 99.9% fine.

You were correct that I had let it be set to the highest possible setting without ever changing it.
