Patch causes crysis2.exe file to become infected with Win32/

Post » Thu Dec 25, 2008 6:56 am

Ive tried two times now reinstalling and each time I download the new patch AVG flags it as a Win32/Heur Virus and I can go back and copy and paste the original EXE file from the disc. The game still runs perfect but when I go to play multiplayer there are never any servers to be found. The only thing I can think is because the exe file is the original non patched exe that I am not being able to see servers that are more than likely have the new patch. Anyone else having similar problems? any suggestions?

With avg you have to go to your resident shield and add the patched crysis 2 exe to the exception list it will work then i think the so called virus is a false positive let me know if it helps.
