Hey an update, I was able to lunch the game in 32 bit mode.
Remember to first restore it from quarantine in Malwarebytes

With all the exclusives, it should be labeled as ransomware. That antivirus has the right of it, and is not a false positive.

What?

According to the thread on Malware's forum I linked above it in fact was just false positive

It's fine, it's by no means a virus. Some Antiviruses (such as Malwarebytes) will pick it up as one. Just allow it/ignore it/add it to the exclusions.
