yup, same for me, newest rpgmv.exe was detected as trojan.gen or whatever and got removed <.<

It's a false positive.

Avast often will detect files that haven't been downloaded much as suspicious, which can lead to false positives. Whitelist the file, and then right click the game, click Local Files, and click "Verify Integrity of Game Cache", it'll scan your files and replace the deleted file.

this wont help since it downloads a new copy of it, you have to first whitelist and restore, then go into steamapps/downloading/randomnumbersicantrember and copy the .exe from there to the rpgmaker folder, after that avast will alert again and remove the file, then you have to whitelist and restore again

Okay, it worked, I'm in. Thanks everyone. Still odd a Steam download of all things get flagged, never happened before to me, so I wanted to be sure.

well too late to read this.
i uninstall my free avast already because so many false alarm.
then re install mv to get the .exe -_-

On my part, avast didn't flag anything but I still can't launch RPGM...

Well for me is the problem worse than before. Now I can't change anything like poison chance, debuffs etc. the maker instantly stucks and freezes.

Same here, I get the "missing executatable error" even though its right there :p

Guess we have to wait for another update...

me too, i can't use RPG maker :c

Load up your avast screen, then go to statistics > component Status > items stored in the Virus Chest.

You'll see RPGMV.exe in your steam downloading directory. You need to Right click and click "restore and add to exclusions"... then say okay to add to the global exclusion list.

Because it was only in the downloading directory it'll get removed again from common/RPG Maker MV so you need to repeat the above for there too.

It may reinstall again, but it'll be fixed from then on.

Yup. Found this too late. Disabled Avast and reinstalling. :/

What is this update? And how do people who don;t use the Steam version get it?

@Wizaerd we just updated plugins which are all in the RMW forums :)
