Computer deleted executable

Post#1 » Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:11 pm

For some reason today my computer or rather the anti-virus upon startup, not when I had logged in, told me it was removing some files. Turns out it was the executable file to run this game and I can't run it directly from war.exe. I played the game this morning and didn't notice any updates to affect the executable or maybe I missed it.

I feel that, my anti-virus also decided to delete my launcher today. And deleted it when I attempted to reinstall.

I also don’t have control of the anti-virus because its work-related. Looks like that’s the end of me for awhile.

When I redownloaded the game and tried to launch it my anti-virus told me it was a generic trojan and deleted it again. Why it had suddenly deemed it to be so when before hand it didn't confuses me.

It happened to me as well all of a sudden yesterday (using Bitdefender), I had to download the Launcher again and put it on whitelist.

BitDefender is also my antivirus. Though even after whitelisting it I still have to tell it to allow me to connect once I restart my PC.
