so since I have not only been gone for a while I also changed and upgraded computers and have recently opted to get the launcher again. but my anti virus stuff detects a Sever Trojan virus in the most recent launcher.
oh⌠thanks
at least that means I can use the lancher
know if only I knew how to do the whole add the launcher binary thing
The exact procedure is largely dependent on which anti virus program youâre using. Basically, you want to find the quarantine section which should contain the launcher executable file and find the option to add an exception or allow this file. I really canât explain it better than the faq, sorry.
Alternatively, use an older version. I havenât bothered to update since 1.4.2 or maybe its 1.4.3.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security had detected HEUR:Trojan-Banker.Win32.Emotet.pef in the main executable of version 10534. Version 10376 has no problem.
huh, this explains why my launcher keeps deleting itself.
Our digital security engineer approved this is a new harmware

Which versions contain the trojan? I donât know how yo check and I donât trust my antivirus.
1.4.8
but that and the previous version crash to desktop with this kind of error log
CDDA Game Launcher version: 1.4.7
OS: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 (64-bit)
Type: <class âValueErrorâ>
Value: Humanization of the âweeksâ granularity is not currently translated in the âitâ locale. Please consider making a contribution to this locale.

Really? lol
Its a heuristic, its a false positive. The code is open-source at https://github.com/remyroy/CDDA-Game-Launcher
Can your âdigital security engineerâ confirm where in this freely available code the âharmwareâ is?

Wanted to play CDDA after an update. Couldnât start launcher an thought antivirus ate it, checked quarantine, logs, nothing. Reinstalled, saw windows defender popup.
One time Win defender decides to do something, it fails miserably.

I tried to bluff it was a false positive, but he told me it is a harmware recently announced by Information Security Competency Center of Rosenergoatom Concern. I did not specify any more so as not to attract additional attention. So I give you the information âas isâ
PS forgive my poor English (little practice) if I was not clear enough that the virus was not in the launcher, but in the game.exe
Eh, government agency. Be glad they donât count Wordpad as a virus because it can change text files.

This reminds me of that time when Windows Defender detected Windows OS as a threatâŚ
Lesson learned: Never install the newest Windows updates at the moment they are pushed out.
Not sure if it was Windows XP or Vista, but man, that was a hell of a ride.
Although⌠I mean⌠Windows Defender probably wasnât that wrongâŚ
In any case⌠looking for the game version about 10376 not newer then 01.01.2020
Any new version is being shredded by Kaspersky
Cataclysm-DDA experimental build #10376 can be found here. It was released on Feb 28.

That is not true.
Thanks for this information. I had no idea we have access to old variants. Really helpful.
Youâre Welcome.
