CPU usage.
I'm having an issue with this update. The CPU usage is sky high. Any one else having the same issue? Just ran version 1.7 as comparison with no issues. Kaspersky at highest heuristic says no problems. Downloaded from NOPY.
Edit: MEGA download identical result. Deleted.

I cant believe Avira or any Scanner is still used. Windows Defender is fully sufficient, if you install a other AVSoftware you close maybe, under circumstances a window in your system. for the price is that you blow a gigant hole in it. The definitions of the AVSoftware can be up to date, but the engines oft he Scanners are hopeless outdatet.

I use since 2010 no AV - besides Windows Defender - scriptblocker like umaritx, and brain of corse. Never had problems with maleware, or suspicious behavior from my PC.
If you think so, most AV tests see that differently, but okay. Not that the Defender is bad, but saying it is the best, is just plain wrong.

Also I deleted it, and after a computer restart it tried to restore happenstance-32.exe for no reason at all.

Your AV probably prevented you from deleting it while it was 'quarantined'.

Also time to enjoy playing this update on my laptop with just Windows Defender while a bunch of people panic about viruses and shit
No, I restored it out of the quarantine and added it to the exceptions. Played it, and then wanted to delete it which Windows prevented me from doing, until I used a third party programm to overwrite it.

Sure they do this, but take a look behind who is behind such tests, or better to say "who pays for it"
The problem with the AV software is not the detection of the maleware, but the scanning of this. If you run a scan on this the malware can use the engine of the AVSoftware as a jumpingboard into the system. Like i said, you close a window and blow up a complete wall in your system with the installation of the AVS. As *better* the so called protection is, as deep the engine diggs into your system - roughly spoken. And this is the problem, maleware is using your voluntarily drilled hole in your system with the installation of the AVS. Winddows Defender is better/saver or whatever you want to call it, because its completly designed to fits into windows, third party AVS dont fit and is the weak point

Okay, if someone starts to negate my argument with wild conspiracy theories, I am already out.
Just let me say this, all in one IT soultions have their own inherent risks.
Again not saying Defender is bad (which it is clearly not, mostly in the Top5 of tests), but you saying it is the absolut best there is because it is designed to fit, is just plain wrong. Have a good day.

"Do you want to use your computer's username as your name?"

WTF is this?
Never had a game try to dive into my privacy like this before.
I wonder what reason was there for this code?

Dear Dev, please ensure that there are no Trojans, Virus's, or other suprises when I try to open the game, until then I will wait before trying again. By the way, why do you need our computers name?

WinDef hasn't even reacted to this little $hit. Happenstance-32.exe simply
a Trojan with BTC mining ability (this is why CPU's use can skyrocket), when
Happenstance.exe is OK. Guess, uploader has decided to boost up income..
I don't mean an author of this game. Folks, you've got this for free there ;)

I can't believe I am typing this but this update could do with less sex and more plot progression. Especially since it was practically the same scene repeated over and over in different rooms.
I was actually thinking that to myself. I don't understand the point of an entire day of sex. Isn't there a major threat right now? Isn't there more investigating that could be done? Even if that's being handled by other characters, shouldn't there at least be less of a lackadaisical attitude and more caution? I don't mind the sex at all, but it seems like nothing else is happening (except the very final dialogue right at the end).

How could I forget, all operators of so-called test sites work completely non-profit, do not need any income and have no running costs to keep their site running. Of course the few ads, which are let through by Adblock or various script blockers are enough for a regular income, how stupid of me.

Throwing around accusations about conspiracy theories are just borderline retarded, and show that you have obviously no idea that every service you use in the www has to be paid somehow.

I am done with you, just one more on ignore.

Are you still runnig on a 32Bit OS on your machine or why you execute it? I dont have such problems with the normal executable. I asume that this is a problem from Renpy, the game Softlinxxx here has the 32Bit Laucher to. I was curios and have tryed the freeversion from malewarebyts on the happenstance and softlinxxx folder. In both cases the AV points to the 32Bit laucher but not to the normal exe. Two Games, two Devs, on one day, both compromised? I am here over 3 years and have never faced a malware, maybe i am just lucky with my games. Even the Renpy Saveditor was flagged as maleware. :ROFLMAO:

I am with you, i am the last one who has a problem with longer steamy secnes but this was strange. I woulde be more happy with a shorter H-Scene and more focus on the plot, wich is really good in my opinion

This VN has a good story and decent renders. Animations are not too weird either.
I'm wondering why the developer hasn't managed to get more supporters. This gig has been running for one and a half year now.
Maybe that "do you want to use your Win username" thing got people scared away. To be fair, it is unusual.

How could I forget Microsoft is not the same as all other AV developers and is just doing their best for the good of mankind, and not using the same tactics as all other companies... whatever you say my friend, whatever you say.

Win 10 64 Bit, 16GB. Sod the bloody 32 Bit, just tell me why there is a Trojan
Also my problem with this game/distribution package.
I saw in another game that there is apparently an issue with the latest RenPy version. At least that is what the developer of Lockdown said, after he got notified of some problems with his distribution. He got rid of it, with compiling his game with an older RenPy version. Perhaps the same problem with this game?

That's not normal. Mine deleted with no issue.

The fact that the game literally offers the real name you have attached to your computer as the default name for your character in-game got me a little bit suspicious...
I always run these games through firejail and deny network and anything but the game directory / renpy config files.

I make a script called run.sh and put it in the game folder and start that script to run the game:

Bash:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")"
firejail --nogroups --net=none --nodbus --nou2f --private-dev --private-tmp --seccomp --whitelist=~/.config/renpy --whitelist=~/Games/renpy --noblacklist=~/.config/renpy --noblacklist=~/Games/renpy "$(find . -type f \( -name '*.sh' ! -name 'run.sh' \))"
For unity games:

Bash:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")"
firejail --nogroups --net=none --nodbus --nou2f --private-dev --private-tmp --seccomp --whitelist=~/.config/unity3d --whitelist=~/Games/unity --noblacklist=~/.config/unity3d --noblacklist=~/Games/unity "$(find . -type f -name '*.x86_64')"

what I really don't like in this is that game attaches you to your GF whom you can't let go
Strongly agree with this; if the game is going to force the player into a relationship with one character then we shouldn't get punished for seeking relationships elsewhere. The ability to have those other relationships or a harem should honestly be baked into games that force a LI on the player.
