addedHi we have had a few people posting support tickets when the game shows Missing Executable or comes up with an error. After testing this extensively we have found that some of the lib dlls in the game that were added as part of the steam achievement update can create false positives with some virus programs. (E.g. Avast, Norton etc) When this occurs the virus program either quarantines or deletes the exe game file or removes the dll files, which will then stop the game from working. To fix this issue and restore the game content you need to do the following: 1. Temporarily disable your vrius scanner 2. Right click on Sword of Asumi in your steam library 3. Select properties 4. Go to the Local Files tab 5. Click on 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache Steam will then authenticate the files and download the corrupted or missing ones from the false positive. After which your game will work again. To prevent this occurring again you will need to either temporarily disable the virus scanner for playing or set an exception for these files. Request: In addition we have submitted these as false positives to some companies, but if you receive the virus notification then please also submit a false positive report to your virus provider. If we find a different way to package the game that does not create these false positives then we will post an update once performed.
