I just downloaded the most recent files and it seems that there is a trojan inside? (At least that what's Windows Defender is telling me.)

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey! To the best of my knowledge, that isn't true, can you share me the prompt that it is showing you?

The message itself is in german, but it links to a page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?na...

(I downloaded it from the "Bundle for Ukraine" page.) 

I downloaded it a third time, now it doesn't show up anymore. That is very strange. 

Should the file name be a-short-hike-windows-latest-1.zip ?

It should be a-short-hike-windows-latest.zip - your operating system may have added the -1 if you have a prior download in the same folder.

The actual game is AShortHike.exe.

Unity announced a security vulnerability not too long ago (https://unity.com/security/sept-2025-01/remediation) and perhaps Unity games were marked as suspicious? I already patched the game to fix the vulnerability last week (the uploaded version is Version 1.10.1_patched) so it shouldn't be a problem though.

When I scan the game / ZIP with Windows Defender, I don't seem to get any warnings. So I'm not sure what's going on!

That is very strange. I heard from a friend that Windows Defender has had some false positives in the recent past. I also downloaded it for a third time, then it seemed clean. 

It's all really strange and probably only a hiccup? (I played the OLD version in the meantime, it's a great game!) 

Thank you for checking!
