Problem with my anti-virus.
-
Hey gentlemen (or ladies),
I've got a really big problem in which I cannot play FAF.
Downloading and starting a game isn't my issue. But my game crashes immediately after one of my units gets hit by my opponent. I don't know exactly what is happening. Luckily I got a screenshot from the anti-virus 'Sophos Home' saying that it detected malicious software. Maybe you can help me out of this.
I tried this a couple of times in different ways, and I assume it has something to do with the FAF and/or the Supreme Commander software.May the Force be with you

Turn shitty antivirus off then it won't happen again.

I have played FAF with LFBJ_0911 and have tried to find ways to trigger the anti-virus response mentioned above. I have set a group of tanks to attack the ground and upon firing their first shot LFBJ_0911's game gets stopped by his anti-virus.

Does it matter which players units shoot and does it happen only for a specific unit or any unit?
-
@Katharsas It appears that it does not matter who causes the projectile. We tested this by sending my commander with hold fire to LFBJ_0911's commander. His commander rotated to aim, then my game lost connection with him as soon as a shot should be fired. (The firing animation did not play yet.)
Can it have something to do with communicating new projectiles? -
Well its not really possible to know whats happening based on what we know.
If i had to guess i would say the game loads a new asset (for example the sound effect for the shot) from the disk and the Anti-Virus notices that. Some kind of system call needs to be involved i would say, and loading a file is one example for that. Could of course be a thousand other things.

Same problem here. Sophos Endpoint Protection (Professional) antivirus. I expect a home user would be able to go to his log and whitelist the process. I outsource my IT. I'll reach out to that service group for a fix.
