Fan patch 1.17a virus?

[Revenant]

So I got back into playing TQ and came across the unofficial patch, which was highly recommended, but a scan of it idicated that it's not safe.

Anyone know what's up with this? I'm just confused since it seems to be so recommeded despite many different anti viruses flagging it.

You don't need to use fan patches anymore xx

It's good to be cautious, but it's easy for a patch like this to get flagged by anti virus software.
The nature of a patch is to alter game files and because of that fact these kind of player made patches often get mistaken for a virus.

Of course you have to be careful still where to download it from. Make sure you download patches from the original source. As sometimes bad people will take a legit patch, alter it to add a virus/malware and reupload it.

And in this case, like Pat already mentioned, you don't need the fan patch for TQ anymore.

I made sure I dowloaded it from the original source.

But anyways, thanks for the advice. I'll try out the beta version.
