Hey evryone,

I've purchased The Void a few days ago (on Steam) and installed it today. At first, I got the "no main menu" problem, then read here on the forums to restart steam for it to actually download the patch for that (way to go, Steam).

So now i had the patched version, started it, and i just got a black screen. Trying to get some reaction out of it, i clicked around a bit, and it turns out my antivirus (AVG) thought the new game.exe was a malicious program -- and apparently I had clicked the "remove file" button without seeing it (why the screen was black even though I could actually click the button is a mystery to me).

Sooooo now my game.exe is gone without a trace, and Steam won't really notice that and redownload it :/

And since I don't want to re-download all 5+GB of the game (if it's not really necessary), could someone please provide me with their game.exe?


Thanks in advance,
HKK

That's a lousy antivirus http://www.2shared.com/file/Tb2iOwXP/Game.html
Did you try verifying the game cache on steam?

Edit: There are some stupid ads on the page sometimes that confuse you that they'd be the download button but to download it look for the ''Save file to your PC: click here'' button down on the right

For antivirus try http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ or http://www.avast.com/en-eu/index

thanks, but i got too impatient and had steam redownload the game over night xD
and yeah, if the av acts up again, i'll just use another one. though this is the very first time i got a false positive from AVG.
