thanks a lot. i was really worried that i might download smthing bad into my pc.You see that "ml" at the end there? That's "machine learning", and the vast majority of ML-tagged reports are, to put it very bluntly as a programmer, straight-up bullshit. This is getting tagged as a virus because it contains code designed to modify an executable file. Other things that will get a program flagged as a virus include but are not limited to:
- Placing a file in user settings or appdata while committing the sin of not being a widely recognized executable. (So if I make a new game in my own engine and it stores the settings in appdata, boom! It's a trojan.)
- Including protections against reverse engineering. (So if I obfuscate my code, or set my project up to crash on debug hook, boom! It's a virus. Because it isn't letting the scanner analyze it.)
- Being vaguely similar in function to how viruses and malware works. (So modifying existing executables, like a patcher. Or changing existing memory allocated by another program on the fly, like a trainer.)
i use the standard windows defender since i kinda hate having to install a 3rd party software to do smthing that the windows apps already providedI just downloaded the newest patcher from mega and did not get any warnings.
Then I manually scanned it, the results are:
Windows Defender: clean
ClamAV: clean
As mentioned above, because the patcher does change another file, it may be flagged as hostile by heuristic/machine learning scans.
As far as that goes, the scan is entirely correct, it is modifying a file, however, I've coded it so it will only change "Radiant-Win64-Shipping.exe" and while, yes, a bad actor could copy a system file to that name/location and then back it's unlikely it would modify it at all, as the patcher looks for certain binary structures in the file it's patching. It double checks that as well immediately before 'approving' the write. (Feel free to look at the source.)
If you are getting a virus warning still and are nervous about running this:
1. If you post here, mention what AntiVirus software you are using and what it identifies it as.
2. As others have mentioned, machine learning or heuristic scans often report false positives for the reasons mentioned above.
3. Check the sha256 hash of the file you downloaded vs what is in the mod/patcher's post and make sure they match. If they do, then I would say you can run it without risk.
4. You are welcome to grab the source out of the archive and run it with Perl (or compile it yourself). Admittedly it's extra work.
5. You can use CheatEngine instead (this isn't for the faint of heart if you're running it 'raw', but if someone has made a profile for it, it's pretty much good to go.)
Also, just as a FYI: Many commercial anti-virus scanners, unfortunately, have other agenda as well and will flag software that companies have paid them to flag. (Windows Defender is remarkably light in this regard, but I prefer ClamAV.)
(Added some of this to the patcher's post.)
it's really all you need. been using it exclusively since windows 7 and have never had any catastrophic problems. heck, i don't even remember the last time i had even the tiniest problem with iti use the standard windows defender since i kinda hate having to install a 3rd party software to do smthing that the windows apps already provided
It's just a game in (early even after all this time) progress... give him your feedback... (I have no idea if DH reads this)I'm really irritated with the widow scene and trying to jump from platform to platform. This game is not designed to properly allow precision jumping, nor has the element been present in any form before this to allow the player to practice the skill. Additionally, escaping back to the starting position is littered with problems with the mechanics of making the precise jumps, adjusting camera angles, and even being able to try again. Couple that with no easy way to get to the starting position to try again and it's basically a dead end. Either progress is stopped, or it's time to cheat the gates open.
I have no idea why a game that involves endless senseless running across vast expanses for no particularly good reason needs to suddenly basically fuck the player by making it a precision run and jump game to progress.
I'm so irritated.
You bring up some good points, the map has always felt very large to me, perhaps he has mounts in mind for later? (If so the portals may actually be temporary). (I have no information on this, this is just wild speculation.)I've been playing this for quite a while. I've always loved breeding games, especially with some kind of trait system. I do wish this had some more animations. Or at least a way to play them outside of the breeding stable/area. Like let me go to the barn and do more than just harvest? Something that doesn't use lust but also has no benefit, just basically a way to view animations anytime you want.
But my biggest complaint of all is the size of the map. It is ridiculous. I feel like it could be about 20% of the current size and it would have been fine. It's almost all empty space you are running through to get to an area that isnt just a waste of space. I know its probably too late and would take too long to redesign the map. But the endless running, and now you dont even start with portals unlocked. It makes this game almost unplayable for me after a while.
And the farm portal. WHY is it so damn far away?! Oh my god there was no reason to put it all the way across the farm. Put it near the house.
The map is actually fairly small, the player just moves slightly slower than an emaciated tortoise.You bring up some good points, the map has always felt very large to me, perhaps he has mounts in mind for later? (If so the portals may actually be temporary). (I have no information on this, this is just wild speculation.)
There may also just be stuff planned but not in world yet.
I think their main concern (based on the image they attached) was saving the file. Windows--for me, at least--isn't allowing the file to be written to the machine. Downloading it through Megasync, saving the .rar file to disk, and opening the .rar directly all fail. I'm not able to get to the point of being able to extract it from the archive.I just downloaded the newest patcher from mega and did not get any warnings.
If you know how to unpack the game you can do this. Before her switched encryption I was able to ban traits.does anyone out there know of a mod that would allow me to modify traits on a global scale?
Like for instance banning a certain trait so that no one will have it or make it a 100% that all species will have a different one
Unfortunately, that I'm not able to help them with. I don't run my machines in a typical "home" environment.I think their main concern (based on the image they attached) was saving the file.

looks like you partly got you're wishI would welcome a few things in this game, someone may not agree, but for some people it would be more lively
-I would welcome more sexual positions that these couples will quickly get bored
- more fetishes are good, but I prefer to be filled with sperm to be on a larger scale literally like inflation, when an individual is filled with sperm so much that his stomach up to his chest, maybe a little more
- fetish vore but for some species it would be possible but the individual who would eat the other individual would have to be larger, for example small vore tiny, etc.
it would work like getting rid of an individual who didn't want to, instead of being released into the wild or sold, it could be an option
but the eating individual would have to be: dragon, cambion, slime a vulwarg in animal and human form
-can be added option in barn for futa or male individuals oral sex when breeder female or futa get cum in mouth
this is all
a lot of people compares this game to hunt and snare
I don't know why every game has its + and -
hunt and snare
+many sexual posicion vaginal oral and anal sex
-few races, climax mising
beeders of the nephelym
+ many races and content
- few sexual positions and fetish
This is my opinion on the game, otherwise the game is great I love it
if any of this is added to the game, I believe it will not harm the game
Perhaps you (or anyone, really) could put it on different/multiple hosts? Nopy or such. I'm not 100% sure it's a Windows issue instead of a Mega issue.Unfortunately, that I'm not able to help them with. I don't run my machines in a typical "home" environment.
