My antivirus comes for the first time since this update to detect a Trojan in Steam / library / new world, I would like to know what is happening with the game thank you!
Yep, since the latest New World patch, I am no longer able to play the game. I have Kaspersky which now deletes the main game exe even after steam verifies the game files and re-creates it. Kaspersky again deletes it.
Go into game files turn of run as admin and then delete the file called steam_appid.txt then the game will run i still have not found a way to run the game with my anti virus turned on guessing that’s on the devs
Why in 1 year and a half Kaspersky has never detected anything and there coincidentally after this update it detects a trojan I have my doubts. It’s not up to us to fix that, it’s up to AGS to do the right thing.
It is the fault of KAspersky, the identify the newworld.exe as spyware/virus because of its behaviour, maybe AGS changed something but defninetly did not inlude any malware.
Kaspersky and all other Antivirus software do check everything with signatures ans behaviour anlyses.
Somehow the new newworld.exe is flagged by Kaspersky, that is not a fault of AGS, that a false positive misstake by Kaspersky.
I’m not having this issue and I’m using Bitdefender. The problem I’m having is that my armor seems broken. Feels like I’m naked. New update probably broke more than a few things.
