Trojan????
I just tried to install the game after a while and windows defender was triggered by a Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml , what is that? Wasnt supposed to steam games be safe? Idk if its a false positive or a real problem but i had to cancel the download.

Detected: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml

Affected: file: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\356190\Patch_01_LC.arch06

Someone pls help me with this, can i download the game? Or should i wait for a possible "fix"?

I had the same issue with SOMA a couple of hours ago. Maybe steam servers have been infiltrated idk

None of the game files have changed in 5 years, so this is almost certainly a false positive:

You can double-check by scanning using Malwarebytes or upload the specific file to virustotal.com.

"Go and troll somewhere", dont you think its weird that other of people related the problem aswell? You could use you brain ya know just 1+1=2 its not that hard, just look at the discussions, now everybody whos complaining is mass hating the game for nothing? Also, theres no need to troll, i wasted my money on the game, and i want to play it, the post was made for this, i'm not going to download something that prob has a trojan on it...
And like i said, WIndows Defender triggered it, thats why i asked if it was a false positive, or a real trojan, dammit, people cant even read these days.

You're right, go and troll somewhere else dude. Just because you fail to experience the same problems as other people's problems, doesn't mean they're automatically wrong. If anyone's the troll, its definitely you.

I ran the file through that site and it found nothing. So to anyone wondering the file should be good.
