I'm guessing this is a false positive but Bitdefender seems to flag the .exe as a virus after I run the game. Prior to running the game nothing in the folder triggers the AV. Even after the AV flags the .exe, if I restore it from quarantine and then right click it and scan it manually it says it is clean. I'm not quite sure what is going on but the .exe file seems to be doing something that my AV does not like. Even on virustotal only 2/65 detect it as positive, and one of those, Malawarebytes, is via the heuristic engine which tends to throw out false positives (since it is built for 0 day) and the other, MaxSecure is notorious for false positives.
I'm pretty paranoid about security and prefer to be safe rather than sorry so I thought I'd just put this out there for any of you who are having similar issues.
