IDP.Alexa.51 virus?

[Orladan]

Just started playing this morning and the game would play for about a minute and then crash. After several times of this happening, I decided to delete my saves and start fresh and tried a new map. I was trying to choose my starting point when it crashed again. This time, AVG popped up telling me that the game was infected with the IDP.Alexa.51 virus.

I had just ran a scan yesterday with zero results.

Hey, same thing happened to me, thou no virus alerts from Norton.
File in game corrupted?

Add the game's path to the antivirus' exclusions list and you will have no problems like that anymore.

AVG, Avast and other similar freeware antivirus software are known to cause issues and misinterpret games for viruses.

And the reason for the sudden crashes?

What are your system specs? All graphics and display drivers updated?

If the antivirus perceived it as a threat it could be that it crashed it to stop the "virus"
