New Patch 1.3 has just been corupted.
Ok, so I download the new patch and enjoy hours of time editing a new map, great addition BTW! I publish the map and quit the game. I later start up steam and go to launch WFTO, but my anti-virus detects a threat and deletes it. I try again to launch but this notice comes up "STEAM ERROR. Failed to start game (missing executable)"
Where has my game gone? I follow the steam steps to resolve the issue "open steam folder, delete apache folder, restart computer, re launch steam" all to no avail. I want my game back! :( Please help.
Game Version:
Steam Public
Platform:
Windows
Hi Pop-Pop is your anti-virus AVG by any chance? Because it's known to throw false positives and stop the game from working. Your anti-virus is deleting the game files as it thinks (incorrectly) that it's a threat. If that's the case you just need to add it to your anti-virus's whitelist and verify the cache in steam (to ensure you re-download whatever files it deleted as a threat) and you should be good to go again.
I run AVG and i've been running/using the game since before release and i've never had any problems once I whitelisted the game so it knew not to flag it as a threat.
