Hi, my AV automatically stopped me from installing the newest Conan Exiles update and said it found a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Adware) Which I am guessing is a false positive and quarantined the file. I restored the file and now I cannot install Conan Exiles at all (after I had uninstalled it).
The file it blocked was located here:
D:\SteamLibrary\Steamapps\downloading\440900\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\GraniteSDK\Win64\release\grGranite.dll
I cannot install the game any longer and need some support on getting the game working again.
(For the record I have already verified game files)
I made exceptions for all the three files and I still cannot reinstall which is why I am clueless, especially because I deleted the Conan Exiles game folder and the 440900 downloading file.
If for some reason your should not see this link, tell me, I will retype
EDIT: If I am not too late. From your initial description of the problem, I think your AV is still somehow holding/blocking your primary dll file location. That is why you get the permission warning
Maybe if you set exception to whole (new or old) game folder it should also help
Hello @VforVanguard , have you tried restarting your computer after adding the files to your antivirus’ exceptions, or momentarily disabling it just for the install?
As @Meo mentioned, it seems that the Antivirus is still interfering with the process.
just see you step by step please:
-did you delete the game folder right before restarting computer?
-if not, I suggest you delete folder, and restart again
-after restart, disable AV again and try install again
-also, after restart, did you try to install on the new location suggested from the link I posted?
I couldnt figure out how to disable my AV so I just closed it in Task Manager, IDK if it let me still install so I removed it from startup so it wouldn’t launch initially - Conan Exiles does seem to be reinstalling, Will update if any more issues, this might take some time installing!
