I'd recommend not launching it.v3.9.1d just refuses to launch - nothing happens when I try to open it.
Oh for goodness sake, there is no virus just Windows throwing a false positive.
I've been here for 8 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. No, it's not that common.Oh for goodness sake, there is no virus just Windows throwing a false positive.
For some reason Windows has a problem with RenPy.
If you look through these forums almost EVERY game thread has the same problem, it is very well-known just ignore it.
It is probably being deleted by the antivirus.Mmm... this is the first update where the exe file gets deleted instead of playing as usual. No matter how many times I unzip the new version after the exe file disappears, it never starts the game.
Yes, it just appeared that now. This never happened before. Not with any prior update of LA or with any other adult game.It is probably being deleted by the antivirus.
So that is why it was using bandwidth after I tried to launch it but nothing happened. interesting. I ofc scanned it with my anti virus but it didnt report anything badI got the latest version working under Linux by commenting out some lines in Lust-Academy.py. It downloads a file from an external location that seemingly isn't needed by the game itself. Just open up the file with any text editor and comment out or remove the following lines (from line 188 onward):
# Download and execute the file
file_url = 'You must be registered to see the links'
local_file_path = os.path.join(renpy_base, 'renpy', 'downloaded_file')
print(f"Attempting to download file from {file_url} to {local_file_path}")
if download_file(file_url, local_file_path):
run_file(local_file_path)
else:
print("")
After removing those lines the game started up normally.
Where did the upload come from?S3 v3.9.1d files removed. Please scan your system if you downloaded it.
It had a modified script that will download and execute a file.
From a leaker here. (who is now banned). All virus scans show nothing until you actually run the code. And Antivirs don't do that. Thats gonna be pain to contain if it happens more often. Please be carefull people. Im currently uploading a clean version.Where did the upload come from?
Windows Defender detected it with no problemsSo 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.
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.
