What was the infection and what damage did it do?
I don't know. As far as I can tell, nothing, but since others are reporting their AVs are deleting the .exe and blocking it and that it apparently had a script to download something I'm surprised and annoyed my AV was apparently blind to it. That or I got lucky and the virus itself didn't "go off" for some reason.

Oh dear. I am fucked! My AV never detected it and I've been playing the game since that download was released
First check the game files of the version inside the /game folder Also check task manager for a tast that says "download something".
Maybe its not downloaded yet. It took ages for me.
Then run a full scan.

The files in the OP are now clean.
Also if you still have the bad version switch out the py file with the one attached.

My compression and the update patch are updated aswell.

Edit: I should have mentioned it early. It was only the PC version that was infected. Mac and Android were and are fine.

So what AVs are people running that actually caught this thing? Kaspersky apparently didn't. Which is incredibly fucking annoying since I literally just set this PC up yesterday so I'm unsure as to whether it's already infected or not. :mad:

By the way does the new version have any sort of changelog aside from "oh boy we added x number of scenes!"? It'd be nice to know who actually has progress and if it's worth bothering.
Bitdefender is the only AV I trust.

Kasperky caught it the second I tried running the exe. Immediately shut it down and deleted all bad stuff. Also ran checks for damage automatically, seems all good. As the others said, somehow the malicious code itself is not detected (as dangerous?) when not triggered. But the moment it tries anything Kaspersky gave it a kick to the bin. So do a full scan just to be sure. But in my case Kaspersky seems to work just fine when needed.

From what I read in another thread with the same infection, the file was downloading on the first run and executed on the second run.
I had started the game immediately after downloading and was wondering why my pc fans were starting up (which happens when there's large downloads). But then I got distracted and had the game running in the background and never closed it until I read the warnings here.

Closed the game, deleted everything, scanned, reverted to a recent system state just in case, scanned again with different scanner, no alarms. Seems I doged a bullet :)

Well, it should be. Like I said, I literally JUST set this PC up yesterday with a fresh install, update, and initial scan.

Kasperky caught it the second I tried running the exe. Immediately shut it down and deleted all bad stuff. Also ran checks for damage automatically, seems all good. As the others said, somehow the malicious code itself is not detected (as dangerous?) when not triggered. But the moment it tries anything Kaspersky gave it a kick to the bin. So do a full scan just to be sure. But in my case Kaspersky seems to work just fine when needed.
All I can think of after running a full scan from both Kaspersky and Windows Defender is that, for whatever reason, I got lucky and it didn't trigger. That or Kaspersky stopped it but didn't give me a notification or delete anything, and it didn't show up in an event log so I'm honestly not sure.

Either way, I'm apparently "clean".

I guess this is what people feel like when they dodge an STD bullet. :LOL:

This may explain my situation as well.

Maybe the dev became a real wizard, learned magic and created a spell... ¨Virulus Totallus¨ to make us pay for the game instead of getting it for free. :BootyTime:
"Sure, the dev himself always uploaded them and provided them to F95 to make them available to our grateful community."

Damm, have u ever thought about the possibility of an uploader making malicious changes to a file before uploading it to a
download provider?
