I consistently get this from Windows Defender when attempting to install the new update (8/7/18) [look at the file path in the image, that’s DB]. Canceling and restarting the update reinstalls Detplock with it

Is this safe?? What should I do? Has anyone else encountered it?

I use Windows Defender and I haven’t had that flagging up for me, could be you’re already infected with something that’s corrupting the files? Maybe best run malwarebytes scan etc.

Have a friend who couldn’t launch the game after the update because Easy Anticheat flagged Dockyard’s map file for something. I think the devs just messed up the recent update.

I haven’t had an issue with Windows Defender or Avast tho

To be honest I think my copy of DB is just screwed, I wasn’t able to start the game all day because the update would get to 100% and then start over. I finally fixed that and now this is a thing

I might just try a reinstall.

Try verifying the game cache through steam first, much faster lol

Just to be completely sure that Trojan is gone. Did you scan in safe mode? Have you monitored network activity for suspicious traffic?

@STARRYSOCK Already tried, didn’t work; reinstall didn’t work either.

To clarify,

@DarkangelUK I get another notification about the Detplock trojan each time I try (and fail) to run the game. EAC’s launcher says my ‘game executable is invalid.’ Malwarebytes didn’t pick it up.

Edit: the filepath in the error …Binaries/Win64/shootergame-win32-shipping.exe does not exist. I have no idea wtf is happening anymore, the game was fine yesterday.

“CreateFile failed with 32” so idk if these are connected lol

Try running Steam as an administrator. https://steamcommunity.com/app/333930/discussions/0/1291816880500340097/

Isn’t fixing my issue but yours was mentioned so I guess it’d be worth a shot

Edit: Reinstalling distribulties or however you spell it, like it was mentioned in that thread, solved my issue. phew Now it’s time to go fail another team!


I am experiencing a file 32 issue. and cant play D:
