Alright, for anyone still playing this game.
TLDR; Here is the clean version of Meltys Quest
Gofile
I've decided to check the game files and see what's up with the game because I did play and completed it before.
Now I'm left perplexed as I read some of the files, particularly inside the SmartSteamEmu folder.
I see a VERY intriguing word: IGG Games.
Let's all clarify that this is piracy, yes? Yes.
Piracy no good, piracy = risks with malwares/trojans.
Now, in the world of piracy, there are good pirates and there are bad pirates.
Some of the good pirates switch sides and decide to become bad, just like IGG Games.
I'll skip the whole backstory of IGG Games, of course.
There is a megathread about all of this and since IGG Games is not trusted by the megathread, I don't trust the current version of Meltys Quest.
I've checked the files on Virus Total and even if the scores were low, I wouldn't take a single chance to run the game on my machine because I have been hacked before for the same mistake: running stuff without checking beforehand.
What I did to play the game, without worrying about malwares, is delete the following files:
- Everything except the "www" folder and package.json file
- Inside the "www" folder, I have deleted the lib folder and the steam_api files
After deleting, I grabbed the version 0.49.2 of NW.js (sdk) and placed the contents next to the "www" folder and package.json.
Launched the game and it was working as intended without any problems.
This is very funny to me because what's the point of packing the game with these trojans worth dlls and executables when the game can just run normally by doing what I did?
