Q: Why does my antivirus say the game is a threat?
A: This is usually a false positive. Some antivirus programs mistakenly flag legitimate game files as suspicious because the game’s code may use techniques (like compression or custom scripts) that look similar to those used by malware.
Q: What about “crack” files?
A: Crack files for videogames alter the original game files and processes to bypass DRM (Digital Rights Management) so the game behaves differently than originally intended.
Since these cracks modify code in ways similar to viruses, antivirus software may flag them as threats — even if they don’t actually contain malicious code. That’s a false positive.
Q: Is the game actually safe?
A: Yes. We thoroughly check our files to make sure they are clean and safe. The warning you see is not because the game is harmful, but because your antivirus misidentified it.
Q: What can I do if my antivirus blocks the game?
A: You can add the game to your antivirus “allowed” or “exceptions” list. Here’s a step-by-step guide for common antivirus programs:
-
Open your antivirus program on your computer.
-
Locate the settings or protection section (may be called “Virus & Threat Protection,” “Real-Time Protection,” or similar).
-
Find the “Exclusions” or “Exceptions” option.
-
Add the game folder or executable file to the exclusions list. Usually, this means selecting the
.exefile or the folder where the game is installed. -
Save changes and restart your antivirus if necessary.
-
Run the game — it should now launch without triggering a warning.
⚠️ Tip: If you’re unsure which file to add, add the entire game installation folder to avoid repeated alerts.
Q: Why does this happen?
A: Some game files — especially mods, custom launchers, or cracks — share technical characteristics with malware. Antivirus software errs on the side of caution and may warn you when it sees this, even if the file is safe.
Q: Should I be worried?
A: No. This is a common occurrence in indie games, mods, and cracks. If you downloaded the game or file from our official site, you can trust that it’s safe.
Thank you for your understanding, and happy gaming!
