The patch file seems to have the exact same checksums as the file that is in older versions. I just confirmed it after reading back a few pages. If those other versions didn't give you any problems then this shouldn't either. Also, Virustotal comes back with 0 hits. It's probably safe.

Until now, it's not that there's no possibility that some malicious user might have hidden the virus.
I thought I could wait for the results of the investigation and take action, so I've been reticent.
I've heard that "the patch file" that allows CG to come out is a virus, but then I just let it slip.
Maybe there was another patch I didn't know about.
By the way, if the file that checked for the virus in this article means "the patch file," then I have no choice but to say it now.
As soon as I saw the link and the name of the file I checked was familiar.
I knew what file it was, which is the "only" subfile in the StreamingAsset folder that wasn't in the 30.0 or 30.1 version.
It's not even a "patch" file in the first place. It just doesn't have a file that should be there.
I don't know why, but Dev sometimes distributes the game without this folder.
Systemically, all event CG pop-ups are made to pass through the StreamingAsset folder.
But since they are being distributed without the folder, strange things are bound to happen in the process of executing the game.
That's why just copying and pasting the previous version of StreamingAsset folder can solve the problem.
And this file, both 0.28 and 0.23 versions, is 2kb.
Shouldn't it be bigger than that in order to be meaningful as a virus?
I think it should be at least an mb unit.
