I know this could just be me but attempting to download and play this game tripped my antivirus. Before I had downloaded and played Save the Shire a few months ago and had no issue. Wanted to let you know, in case others had that happen. (Your other RPG maker games gave me the same issue today, and I played your Tale of Genji game, which I assume was a demo for Artistic Adventure, last year without a problem.)
Thank you for notifying and it's indeed very weird, it's for sure the antivirus. Do you know what file in particular triggers the antivirus? The exes of the games are packaged by RPG Maker and later using Enigma Virtual Box. The RTP installation is downloaded from the official RPG Maker website. Then other files are the images, txt and fonts. So for sure it's a false positive from antivirus (what one you use?).
Thank you. I use McAfee. The executable itself causes the popup, and then it automatically quits and is quarantined. Running a virus scan on the folder beforehand shows no threats. It does look like Enigma has had issues with false positives for some antivirus.
I've used McAfee for years, so it must just be my computer.
So that's the issue then. I use Enigma as it's very easy to use and I prefer to have the exes as pack so it's easier to locate how to open the game, RPG Maker creates too many folders. I didn't know Enigma triggered false positives. Thank you for reporting so if people have the same problem, they can know it's safe :)
