Can any admin verify the file?
Sorry for the delay -- the file has now been approved 👍

I wouldn't download this since it contains a Program:Win32/Wacapew.B!ml virus. I don't even know if Rose is legit or not.
Hi, modern day anti-malware suites work more and more on machine learning, which means it uses a dumb algorithm to determine whether a file is malicious or not based on how much similarity it has to actual malware. As far as I can tell this is what the "!ml" at the end means -- it's a match based on a machine learned algorithm that was trained on malicious and non-malicious files (but apparently without any modding related files in the data set it was trained on...).
As a result, and as mentioned in the file description, basically any file that uses CheatEngine components to manipulate the memory of another process tend to get flagged as malicious by the machine learning algorithm since, well... I imagine it is because it changes the memory of another process... Which is exactly what it was designed to do and what players want it to do...
Rose has a long history of creating and uploading CheatEngine based mods to PCGamingWiki, so they are as "legit" as one can be in today's environment where false positives of gaming related mods/patches are a dime a dozen, though ultimately it's up to you whether you want to run the tool or not.

@czarman, can you upload a password protected (using "pcgw") archive instead? This one has 17 detections on VirusTotal which is past the approx. baseline where we require password protected archives.
-
Thanks -- I've approved this one and made various changes to get the two versions more in line with one another.
Depending on what other staff members think, we might end up merging the two files into one, since the community site supports multiple versions for each file.
-
Is this not the same file as is uploaded here ?
-
Thanks, the file has been approved 👍

Hi,
As the fix is based on CheatEngine it triggers a lot of anti-malware suites.
Can you upload a new version of the archive that's password protected per our policy?
Cheers!
The Upload a new version option is available under the File Actions menu.

Original download link: https://mega.nz/file/QccUgYRb#-Qv75pKgbQOusl-nEVHw7rl1RDz45qtdl6wOhhiD3Os
@Wolfinston, can you split the archive into 500 MB parts and attempt to re-upload it? PCGamingWiki sadly didn't have a proper limit on the max file sizes, meaning the upload you performed wasn't successful.
You can upload the new parts as a new "version" of this file:

Hi,
PCGW is generally against bypassing DRM and such, see the wiki policy.
I noticed that the developers were still semi-active on the Steam forums for another one of their titles, and this game is still being sold on Steam. Have you tried reaching out to them on admin@dreamssoftgames.com about the issue? I imagine they might be able to fix the issue properly on their end or, possibly, upload a copy without this issue.
Cheers!

Thank you, now the download works! 👍

@asabarabi, sadly it seems the forum software can't handle the name of the file you uploaded. Can you remove any special characters etc and ensure the file name is only named using regular Latin characters such as A-z, 0-9, and dots/underscores/dashes, etc ? Then re-upload the file again by using "File Actions -> Upload a new version".

Windows 10 is recognizing the file as a virus and not allowing it to run at all.
"operation did not complete successfully because the file contain a virus or potentially unwanted software"
Probably a false positive, though you've to decide yourself whether to 'trust' the file or not. PCGW in general does not guarantee the safety of files, and due to the numbers of false positives occurring in gaming related files -- particularly those created using e.g. Cheat Engine -- we usually don't remove uploaded files either due to "virus detections".
See the "Virus detected in PCGamingWiki file" section for a bit of context.

This is A virus, Trojan. Do not use!
Reports as Trojan:Win32/Glupteba!ml
Astroneer FOV - Steam.exe
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/trojan-glupteba/
The last part of the recognized virus definition “!ml” suggests the definition was created through machine learning. Basically there is an extremely high chance of it being a false positive.
@Rose is otherwise a well-known and recognized ultrawidescreen modder whose patches occasionally runs into AV’s false positives.
@cbk@csolutions.no, at the end of the day you yourself have to determine if you put your trust in a stranger online, but for what it’s worth, I personally highly suspect this is a false positive. Of course I can’t say for certain, but then nobody really can unless they created the executable themselves.

Launcher has been cut from the official edition of the game purchased in Poland, which was published here by Cenega, so it cannot contain viruses.
Of course I can publish the password version, but what is this for? It will only make the process of installing the Polish language more difficult.
It isn't about whether the file is actually malicious or not -- it's intended to protect PCGamingWiki from automatic flagging by third-party internet safety scanners like for example Google's Safe Browsing filter.
You can read more about it in the files section of the editing guide: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/PCGamingWiki:Editing_guide/Files#Password_protection_policy

Hi,
Can you upload a password protected version of the archive? The launcher packaged in this archive triggers AVs.
- The whole archive - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/823c919a3efd3d7b3d00ff09a7d49dd483addb662792a59f40a8a62d893beb91/detection
- The launcher itself - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2218983e2ddff6e57362a992c2cb082192a183bb53d2360f034b62c5535e0876/detection
Click on File Actions -> Upload a new version at the bottom of the "About This File" section to upload a new version of the file.
Cheers!

If you want to you can upload an archive without the password protection. Password protected archives are mostly for executable related codes that triggers false positives, which files like this .ttarch typically don't.
-
Please remove the executable file without Steam Stub. It is against PCGW policy right now to provide such a copy, as well as instructions on how to bypass it.
See the information from the below section of the wiki policy:

Okay, then everything's fine. I've approved the file. 👍

Hi!
Am I correct in assuming this acts as a crack and effectively disables Steam API related features as well as the ownership check of the Steam copy?
PCGW attempts to distance itself from cracks, so the use of steam_api64.dll as the DLL injection point makes it currently questionable whether we should approve the upload or not.
If possible, then I highly recommend using some other DLL as the injection point such as D3D12.dll or DXGI.dll.

This CheatEngine FOV table is dated 2017-02-08 and so predates the fourth patch for the game that was released in 2018 and updated the game engine to Unreal Engine 4.18. As such it is incompatible with an updated copy of the game.
-
Sorry about the delay in approving the file, but it has now been approved.
-
Please clarify whether this file is from the unpatched, original ToCA2 from the CD-ROM or the patched 4.1 version.
-
The original upload had a typo in the password, and used 'pgcw' as the password instead of 'pcgw'. I've uploaded a new version that makes use of the correct password pcgw

Are there any differences in terms of functionality between the x86 and x64 versions of the driver?
Do some games require specifically one version of the driver?
No, it's solely based on the architecture of your operating system. x64 versions of Windows require the 64-bit driver, and vice versa.

Hi, the password is "PCGW" -- in uppercase (without the quotation marks). Can you try with that?
