Uhmm, that's odd. I have never seen that issue before.
I have been told due to the way GameMaker: Studio 2 (the software I use) compiles games, a lot of antivirus flag the Forager executable as a virus. Try disabling antivirus and see if that helps!
well i just restarted my computer and i cant find any sign of the .exe file, so i guess its all good now. how's progress on alpha 6? i've tried alpha 5 and the inventory bug is a bit annoying, and alpha 4 keeps crashing since i got a full inventory :/
