Regarding Windows Defender and Norton

Outside the Lines · published 27 Jul 2018, 04:05 UTC

I'm not sure how to approach this issue, but here's my side of the story.

Windows Defender is falsely quarantining my game for trojan after a recent Windows 10 update. I've gotten reports of Norton locating a trojan file as well. This is resulting in a lack of trust and negative reviews, and it worries me immensely.

I've contacted Steam support and they responded extremely swiftly, directing me to contact the antivirus vendors. I can't seem to get a response from Microsoft.

I advise everyone who is still skeptical of the game to avoid playing it, because there isn't really a way to prove that the game isn't a virus other than the fact that it hasn't been taken off Steam. From a consumer's perspective, better safe than sorry.

This just really bums me out, though. I'll keep everyone updated.

I just started using GameMaker Studio 2 for my other game, so I decided it would be a good idea to try importing Outside the Lines as well. There isn't anything too major in this update, but hopefully it'll tide everyone over until I have enough darn time to make a big update. · Migrated to GameMaker Studio 2 from GameMaker: Studio 1.4. I've noticed some hefty performance improveme…
