Anti-virus quarantining the game and marking it as a false positive

Modified on Mon, 25 Nov, 2024 at 10:18 AM

Anti-virus programs are notorious for flagging parts of games with false positives causing a whole myriad of issues. 


It is always best to add the game to any exclusion lists within the anti-virus programs with regards to scans. 

It is also recommended to exclude the entire Ranch Sim installation folder rather than just individual files.


Because each anti-virus is different, please refer to the websites/support areas for your AV for further instructions.


Many anti-virus providers also allow you to report false positives. If alerted by your anti-virus please make sure to submit the reports to your anti-virus provider as a false positive for the product to prevent this issue from happening in the future
