v0.5.8.199 exe flagged as a virus

Unpacking the zip file of the latest version, I was surprised to find my destination folder was missing the exe file.  I've since realized that my system is deleting the file quickly and quietly after the file is extracted.  If I'm quick enough to go into the destination folder after extracting the file, I can attempt to launch the exe but execution fails and I receive this message:

Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

This was not an issue for me with either v0.5.8.147 or v0.5.8.74

I'm on a Windows PC.  Anyone else having the same problem with the latest version?

Hi @Haze01,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing difficulties with the latest version.

After reviewing our recent update log, we identified two potential reasons for the problem you’re encountering:

  1. We updated the version of PyInstaller (the game compiler) from 6.6.0 to 6.12.0.
  2. We merged the crash-handler.exe into the marvel-lcg.exe.

To help alleviate your concerns, here are some online scan results for your reference:

  1. Jotti’s Malware Scan
  2. VirusTotal Scan

If you’re still worried about these issues, I recommend running the application in a virtual environment and ensuring that the necessary ports are forwarded for gameplay.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or need additional assistance. We’re here to help!
