changedWe want to assure you that everything is fine and the game does not do anything illegal. The network activity is related to the software we use to develop bCold Harvest/b.
changedIn this update, we have minimized the game's network activity as much as possible. However, it will be difficult to completely eliminate such cases, as the game will eventually implement cloud saving of progress and achievement tracking.
changedIt is also worth noting that Valve takes moderation and virus checking of game distributions very seriously. The distribution of infected game distributions is practically impossible on the Steam network.
