    Is it normal that Avast! starts scanning server.exe every time I open a lobby?

    hmm for me it did it once in the past when it first encountered server.exe and it went like "OH I've never seen that program before"
    but everytime isn't good I think, it should be smart enough not to do that.

    Does it every time :cool:

    EDIT: it also has been deep scanning the same file for over 15 minutes now. It says it usually takes 15 seconds...

    Does the problem persist after a reboot?

    Yes.

    I am also testing out a mod, so I clicked on the single player AI skirmish, which makes even less sense.

    Did you play the PTE build we had going over the last 24 hours? If so, did you get the issue there?

    I booted up to the main menu in PTE but I never tried starting a game :(

    Is there a way to add it to the exclusion list in Avast!? I actually might not be the only one with this problem either since the hotfix build was just released.

    Actually, it suddenly stopped popping up to scan when I launched Avast! and messed around with it.... No longer scans when try to host a game.

    Crazy stuff, I hope it stays this way.

    I just joined a match which the host selected the wrong system so we all wanted to quit and rehost. But the new surrender button requires you to wait for the game to start before to can quite to main menu. Rather annoying.

    Found a metal planet bug:

    When you destroy a catalyst (or commander in my case) and a catalyst blows up miliseconds after the metal planet fired, the laser effect will not disappear.

    [​IMG]
    Here the metal planet turned to its original position after firing upwards in this picture.

    [​IMG]
    Here you see the short effect, following the metal planet its pole position and the laser which destroyed the planet 10 seconds earlier.

    Why not make the metal planet selfdestruct when a catalyst is destroyed during buildup/fireing because power instability or so? This would be way cooler ^^
    Not that it was already epic that I nuked his commander seconds before the laser shot my planet down since it took too long for the catalysts to selfdestruct.

    Alias my replay ID is 12034964852347204874.

    dunno if this is right here, build says 75771 pte...
    played a game with mostly water world and low metal spots, the 4 AI commander did exactly nothing (one even had 2 metal spots somehow near him). didnt find the replay, so either i was stupid enough to play local or this builds replays are not shown yet (witch maybe another bug then^^)

    you are playing PTE (public test environment). You need to go to stable to play the normal version.
