Factorio Forums

Hey all, wanted to report a minor issue. I didn't see anything in the changelogs that would allude to this behavior, but my AV Software (Trend Micro Max) blocked Factorio today when it ran its first autosave on a brand new map. This is the first time I've ever had Trend block Factorio (been playing since 0.11). It referred to Factorio as Ransomware -- weird.

Obv AV Software can be fickle, and it was easy to add Factorio to the exception list, I just wanted to make you aware.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Thanks,

kong

edit: I ran on 0.13.2 and 0.13.3 just fine.

We didn't change anything suspicious between these versions.
The 0.13.0 introduce additional ways of communication, as you can access the mod portal, auth server and matching server, so it might theoretically look suspicious to some heuristic.

Anyway, this is not really bug of Factorio.
