[QUOTE="Kubla, post: 815989, member: 58813"] I wanted to play this MMO Black desert Online it is supposed to have the best graphics and combat system of any MMO however when I tried to install it multi-layers of my AV and malware protection setup went nuts quarantining some of the game files that are part of the games anti-cheat software. After doing some research a lot of people have hand problems with it where that had to exclude if from their AV, modify Windows Defenders exploit protections and app control to allow it, even uninstall their AV's just to get the game to run. The main offending file is called xcorona.xem This is the what I get from my AV: I have this game on Steam, this is a chart of of the connections and file access when I start the game launcher: [IMG alt="Black Desert.jpg"]https://malwaretips.com/data/attachments/212/212487-720e578c512199a0773a74b97bfc00f9.jpg[/IMG] 1244 files accessed & 138 IP connections made, and that is before the game even loads because I have been reluctant to give it exclusions to allow it run. I ran a trace using xSOS firewall to see where it was connecting to: [IMG alt="Black Desert 2.jpg"]https://malwaretips.com/data/attachments/212/212488-8ecbda3b41eaae69bada328d5922019a.jpg[/IMG] I was able to see a list of connection IP addresses with a CSV reader and it is connecting to to over 60 different IPs. I don't know the first thing about anti-cheat software for games, perhaps this is normal but sure seems like a lot of data being accessed sent out on quite literally a global scale to verify you don't cheats on your PC.
