Well, to be honest. Anything that's not produced by a major corporation is potential malware. My original python patch had a ton of virus flags, but the identical one I made in C# was seen as "clean". Both of them edits 3rd party files on your pc, so if I had shitty morals and lived in an "approving" country, I could start mass-encrypting your files for ransom. No alerts would ever pop up if I stayed off the right files.Because it's a false positive that's never been resolved.
Basically what the game does is read your game version (and only that) and compare that to the latest available versions, then relay the information to the screen.
That's how it knows what version you have, what the current public build is and the latest patreon version.
This sort of behaviour is commonly misflagged as virus behaviour as it is quite similar.
There are no viruses in this game.
I've been playing this game for several years and it hasn't blown up my system yet.
hyfka, neither. They're common backgrounds in games and are license-free. You'll find that there are great many other games that use them as well.
When they mislabel my python patch as "virus", F95Zone gives people a false idea that all the other stuff then are safe. Instead, they should recognize the risky nature of all software here and promote ways of using it safely. Perhaps sandboxing?
