American and Euro Truck Simulator Updates

02-06-2024 today's update resulted in either ATS or ETS to run as being blocked by PCMatic!!! Steam needs to correct this right away..

Isn't a Steam issue. It's a common issue with that program blocking valid programs. You'll need to contact the developers of PCMatic.

You might want to switch to a good antivirus, instead of one that sucks, like yours. :)

It will most likely fix it self. Reason why below.

PCMatic has a very strange security approach in which they handle application whitelists by a automatic review process if it detects something unknown it gets flagged send for analysis and either whitelisted or ignore. It is possible that the function is not working correctly. The very reason why almost no company ever in the cyber security industry for consumers works with automatic whitelisting is exactly for that reason because unlike a business which normally has strict rules which applications are allowed on the network most consumers will not have such restrictions.

It is up to you to decide if you can work with this approach as IT professional I can't recommend it for consumers, In addition they actively marketed 99,9% proactive detection in the past. That is impossible in this industry we would all have adapted the same strategy than which we are not we are moving towards fully automated A.I assisted detection.

If you have Microsoft Defender as consumer you are more than well protected paying is only really useful if you want something like VPN or a more easy default interface or customer support. If not you can save your money.

Knowing them, it's the developers fault. Every update screws up something. Before you start screwing around with your own stuff, i'd 'attempt" (if you don't get banned), posting the issue to them. They have some 12 year old fielding questions. Good luck.

OP noted it was PCmatic, poor AVs are known to falsely flag games & software that receive updates. The personal issues with ATS&ETS Devs need to be put away before replying to subjects involving those games as it doesn't contribute helpful or accurate information. OP can even whitelist Steam itself or the folders for ATS&ETS if the AV is that bad.

Valve doesn't make PCmatic.
Valve doesn't make ATS or ETS, nor is that Dev at fault for a bad AV reading & blocking a very clear video game app/simulator.
Contact PCmatic or use any submission feature they have so their next update wont target those games.

good luck with that! they don't accept the type of criticism you are looking to post, it will get you banned. those scs idiots brought their politics to the game once, you tried debating it you got a ban. i mean it's their problem in the end and they punishing everyone else for it because they know it's going to be debated but they are going to take anyone down just to shut up those who disagree with their methods.

Yep. I didn't even get into politics, and bye bye to me. But it's obvious they want "zero' criticism, on relatively anything. And then they have an obvious child, who is not a moderator, enforcing rules. I just don't understand.

Every update, the same story over there. I wish they would just end support, keep the game AS IS, before more players are teched out of it, and come out with a new game. What a mess that all turned out to be.

Yeah, when it comes to that game, i'd be checking them before screwing around with my system.

There are no infections within either of those games. Both my AV and Firewall have no issues with them nor have automatically flagged or prevented operations.

Again, bias for game hub removal should be put aside as it tends to result in bad information to other users.
