ADHS Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 After the last update DCS 2.8.3.37556 Open Beta Combined Arms module is not recognised and goes to offline mode. ESET finds problem in CombinedArms.dll file. 1 Democracy was already invented, while Scrat was eating oak fruits.

skypickle Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) @DD_Friar are you using the open beta? There are several threads here documenting that ESET sees the combined arms dll as a threat and deletes itt immediately on download Edited March 12, 2023 by skypickle 1 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
DD_Friar Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 @skypickle Yes, its the Open Beta version. 1 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

skypickle Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Which antivirus do you use? Specifically which version of eset and have you changed any of its scanning options or added any exclusions? 1 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal

skypickle Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Thank you but i was hoping that @DD_Friarwould tell us why he isn’t getting that prob. i agree, it is perplexing that combined arms is throwing up this error as it is not a new module. it makes me worry that someone has slipped a trojan into the code 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
DD_Friar Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Sorry, I can not tell you why I am NOT getting a problem, perhaps because everything is OK with my install and environment? I just use Windows Defender as my anti virus. 1 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

skypickle Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 well I guess the malcontents who put the virus in the combined arms dll figured out a way to fool windows defender 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal

In this one, seems that developers have/creating safety problems. It's out of question to put any kind of such exemption to my firewall. 18 hours ago, DD_Friar said: I just use Windows Defender as my anti virus.

DD_Friar Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Never had a problem, I also run CCleaner from time to time, then again I don't go clicking on invites from foreign female nationals or notifications of missed deliveries from my postal service. 1 Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com.

Ikaros Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) AVG antivirus flagged it and automatically moved it to quarantine as well. Edited March 14, 2023 by Ikaros 1 1

So other than my antivirus find something weird. Thank you for the info. I have uninstall CA and i will upload the quarantine fie to ESET for further analysis. I propose to anyone that have problem to do the same as DCS haven't fix it till now. Democracy was already invented, while Scrat was eating oak fruits.
Bagpipe Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 have you tried just simply running a repair using the updater to see if it makes a difference? 1
skypickle Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 It happens even on a fresh install 1 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
Vakarian Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Yeah, because false positives are not happening and AV softwares are working perfectly in determining what is a "virus" and what isn't... /s 3 1
steffj Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Hello friends !! Since i play in multi threading, my combined arms is disabled because of my anti virus.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 16, 2023 ED Team Posted March 16, 2023 threads merged. Its best to submit the file to your provider for analysis.

Yes i did repair at first. Once ESET reads the file is quarantine it. Also i did a scan to DCS Open Beta folder, the same. Something is wrong with this file. I've send it for analysis to ESET. 21 hours ago, steffj said: Steff I got the same. In defalut and MT versions.
