Announcement In Regards to Gunvolt for Steam Getting Flagged as a Virus

GVS-banner

To those of you who have had their PC version of Azure Striker Gunvolt flagged as having a virus, we have some information for you.

We have looked into this extensively, and came to the inclusion that this is a false positive indication from these antivirus programs. Before anything goes live on Steam, gets encrypted, etc., we run the program through over 50 different types of virus detection programs, and we have never had any issues. Something that has happened during the encryption process (we use official Steam tools for this process) is producing a result that is triggering antivirus programs to identity the program (gv_win.exe) as a Trojan.

We can officially say with great confidence that there is no virus attached to the game, and that this is a simple case of a false positive reading. This is a pretty rare scenario from what we have seen, however, in a future update we will include counter-measures to prevent this from happening again. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this situation, and hope that you will continue to enjoy Azure Striker Gunvolt.

“DOS” Version of Azure Striker Gunvolt from PAX Prime Giveaway Now Available Online

Gunvolt DOS

This year at our PAX Prime panel, to celebrate the release of the Steam version of Azure Striker Gunvolt, we gave away a limited edition floppy disk that had an MS-DOS version of Azure Striker Gunvolt along with a code to download the game on Steam. We’re sure many of you do not have access to PCs that can run floppy disk games on MS-DOS, so now that it’s been a few months since the panel, we decided to make this game available to everyone online! You will need the special code that was available with the floppy disk to play the game to the fullest, so if you weren’t there at the panel, maybe you had a friend who was there. 😉
