PC removes the warpatcher.exe

Post#1 » Wed Oct 03, 2018 11:58 pm

So 2 times now after a normal restart of my PC it’s removed the patcher. So I can’t start the game. Any idea what’s causing this?

Thanks

The launcher gets flagged as a virus. See the sticky :)
The launcher is a trojan / malware!

The mechanism used in order to launch the client is picked up by anti-malware heuristics. Nothing we can do about that.

You can do something about it. Exclude the entire WAR folder in your anti-virus software, Windows Firewall/Defender, or whatever other software you have that would do something like this. How to do this is up to you to figure out, each bit of software is going to have its own procedure.
