doubt about .zip file in play

[DESTRUCTOR]

In the backpack hero game you can create a bug report file by clicking
"CTRL ALT B" to create a bug report!


Viewing the folder called BugReports creates a .zip file

When you try to open it, a Windows security message appears saying that opening these files may be harmful to your computer. Internet settings block the opening of one or more files.

is normal this?

Blanket warnings about potential danger is normal, yes. Windows doesn't know if you're a smart user who's doing something you're sure is safe, or if you're a hopeless clod who would juggle live grenades on a dare.

Ultimately the context matters. .zip files are common and have been for decades. Although random zip files from untrusted sources could potentially be dangerous. But is that's what is happening here?

You agreed to generate a bug report, in a game you're playing which you nominally aren't concerned about, purchased from a store that you also nominally trust. It doesn't sound like a scenario of concern to me. Is there some reason you think there is an issue or could be?

It is a file that can be created within the game, I think it is used to report with some files from the game itself

You forget where we came from , modem age where you pack files so it don'twaste space, and what if they made raw data at disk then size will be so much more, no my friend that game devs know what they are doing and try avoid take more then needed, what about next crash dump report, so you see size matter. even then we have 4TB+ 10TB+ and tecnicaly zip file is so little that it look like a joke then it's not. ( what if you never delete them. in raw data, then you will be upset then they do that. ( any compressed format is better then nothing. ) even lzh file format from the past could have been used.

I hope that the other error of a user that I published in another discussion is not real

I was talking about another mistake that happened to another player.

I'm not sure about the error report because of the windows defense message

Maybe you should ask that game forum, if game do that. send error report automatic, normaly they want ppl to do it manual, but today why not automated.
