0.13.8 Flagged as Virus

Post by Rivaryn »

Good Afternoon,

My antivirus kicked in while playing multiplayer and decided to kill off the game and delete it, claiming it was a virus. Has anyone else had this occur? I'm guessing it was being overly aggressive, but I wanted to make sure. Here is a screenshot of the report:

I just upgraded to version 13, and I know I've never had this problem before, so I just wanted to see if others have reported this.

Thanks.

EDIT: I was running it via Steam with the overlay. I wonder if that confused it? So far running it not through steam seems to not trigger a problem...

Sounds like a poor excuse of an Antivirus since there's nothing that Factorio does that would match any kind of "virus signature".
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
