Like I wrote, '7z'. Most of the other complains from updates were 7z too. AND windows defender. Probably wait a month, and then microsoft updates their scanner and problem is gone...

The Lewdpatched file is literally just a TEXT file and is impossible to have a virus. take the PatchSG.rpy and open it up in any text editor and you'll see. It is a scripting language, RenPY/Python that is compiled by the game when it loads it.

I use Windows Defender and never had it complain about this, and I use 7Z files all the time.

The ONLY file you need from that zip is PatchSG.rpy. That's it. It's a text file. Copy it into your game folder and you're good to go. if you're uncertain, as I said, load it into a text editor, you'll see it is all text, just a script. Impossible to be infected with anything.

Although I am also almost sure that this is a false positive detection of the antivirus, it's not just a TEXT file. It is the source code written in python language that will be executed by the python interpreter bundled with the game when the patched game is launched. And it's absolutely possible to write malicious code in python.

<sigh> Than don't use it. But "malicious code" is not a "virus". It is a compiled scripting language that will only do as much as the language allows, which is very limited, like most scripting languages. It is not a low level language like C that can do worse. As I said, it is literally a TEXT FILE until such time as it is compiled and as such, IT... IS... NOT... A... VIRUS! It's a FALSE POSITIVE. But as I said, don't use the fucking thing then, but quit whining about it in here! I used the exact same file from the exact same site with ZERO PROBLEMS so it is not the file, it is not the site, it is YOU and whatever you use falsely flagging this file. PERIOD!

I don't use it. I'm good with the "classic" vanilla version.
Why do you think that virus has to be a compiled executable? Have you ever heard of macro viruses? Yeah, those harmless Visual Basic scripts that were run by MS Office applications like Excel and did pretty well their virus thingies? You think a script can't download shit on your system, when you'll execute it? You know, you can, for example, launch an external program from the renpy code, right? For example if it's Windows system, then add to your beloved PatchSG.rpy something like this:
Python:
init python:
# Add these two lines below
import os
os.system('C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe')That's rude, bud. I'm not "whining" about anything, I'm stating that .rpy file is not just a text file, but a python script that supposed to be executed when the game starts. And I suggest everyone to always check them with the antivirus you trust.

I agree with the sentiment (it's a false positive), but it's not true that PatchSG.rpy is the only file you need from the patch. The package now includes an RPYC file, which users should definitely use if they want to avoid rollback errors in the future (see section B).
Yes a RenPy script could include malicious code, and absolutely people should virus scan them before running them. As you noted the current 'virus' detections are almost certainly false positives, related to a glitch with Windows Defender.
Strictly speaking RenPy games 'execute' the RPYC file, but that doesn't alter the substance of your point.

The RPYC file is created by the game when you first run it. It is the COMPILED version of that script (hence the "C" on the end). Run the game without the RPYC, then after it loads, quit the game and check the game folder, you will see a new RPYC file there. That's what scripting languages like RenPY/Python are all about. They allow a dev to change things in the script, save it and then the executable game will compile it at runtime. The RPYC file in that zip is simply a compiled version, you can ignore it and let your game compile it yourself. If you edit your PatchSG.rpy file, it will recompile it as a new RPYC version at runtime, incorporating your changes.
In fact, you can go into your GAME folder and delete (or move) all RPYC files out of it (providing you have their RPY files of the same name) and the game will compile all the RPY files all over again and you will see new RPYC files in the game folder. I do it all the time.
Anyhow... it's a false positive. Period. Bye!

Yes the source code is the RPY file, yes the game will build a new RPYC file from the RPY file if one isn't present. The post I linked to explains why the RPYC is important for save compatability. Your posts on the matter are misleading, which is why I clarified.
Now that the patch includes the RPYC file, people using it should also use the included RPYC file. Doing so will help mitigate the regular complaints about saves not working, at least where the patch was involved, and assuming the dev properly maintains the RPYC going forward.
And thanks for the facepalm, reactions to my informative comments are always welcome!

The other day I downloaded the compressed version and Windows Defender blocked it for me and I downloaded it again and made Windows not block it for me but the folder where the game was in did not respond, it froze

What an eagle eye you have! It's damn funny, it looks like the bald guy punched MC so hard in the jaw that the chunk of MC's hair jumped onto his bald skull.i was working trying to mod back the fight cinematic into the game , when i notice something funny about the new fight stills from the game , if you carefull look to Sai friend before he hits the MC , that guy is bald !

There are still some bits of earlier chapters that need to match the quality of the newest renders (If you make the comparison it's gonna be quite obvious that despite looking good, they're inferior to what the dev is producing now).
Nami and Bella. everyone else irrelevant
