I have had several issues with the game. Yesterday the game was playable, but it kept crashing after 10/15 minutes. However, today the game is not starting and I am getting the error code 3:0000065432. I have seemingly solved this issue by disabling anti-virus on startup.
- ok suddenly my window defender is giving me this warning and shutdown my game , trojan:script/Wacatac.H!ml, the program is dangeoris and excutes commands from an attacker

Had this exact issue. If you are able to whitelist the file that is best. However launching steam as an admin fixed it for me. I believe your windows defender is marking the executable as a trojan.
Also posted this at another thread. Launching steam as an admin bypasses the problem. However I would look into whitelisting the executable if possible (i could not)

- Steps to reproduce: Click play in steam, or double click on icon.
- Expected result: Game starts normally.
- Actual result: Pop up message appears - “Failed to start process of this game…”

Same problem here…
Only “permit the trojan” action in Windows Defender worked for me…
This stops windows defender trying to delete the NoRestForTheWicked.exe file…
Thanks for the reply but the admin strategy did not work. I am scared to whitelist it because i dont know anything about computers. this pops up everytime from windows defender: Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
On the discord moderators have stated it is safe to do so. Whitelisting seems to be your only option. It is up to you if you trust the company.
If you have booted up the game before, you have run the EXE and all associated files before. It is, by the discord mods word, not a virus, simply a mistaken “identity”.
I installed it on my laptop and it seemed to run without any problems. Any idea why my lap top that has windows 10 works and my desktop that also has windows 10 doesnt work?
Because you have different settings for Windows Defender and one of your computers is blocking the executable and one is not
Can you explain why it happened randomly while I was in the game? This is after I updated and I am in the game longer than an hour. The game was working fine up until now
I’m not an expert, but it’s likely the executable accessed something in memory while you were playing and it tripped up Windows. It’s still an issue/bug with the game, but if you can figure out something with your Windows Defender (if it’s even still called that) you might be able to provide a bit more info for the devs so they can reproduce it.
I mini patch came out and I think it fixed it!
+1 to this, easy enough to fix on the user’s end but I’m sure this will make someone panic lol
So I just got this with newest patch about 30 minutes ago and smart access app on win11 is blocking this game. I have whitelisted it and everything but without disabling smart access I now can’t play now. Any thoughts or fixes incoming it says its a trojan virus.
(updated) this has not been fixed. I sent feedback to microsoft to look into this. I’m hoping this will be fixed. I tried uninstalling the game, I have allowed the trojan through defender and smart control app still says no way. Not sure what to do, I enjoy this game, I would like to play 
.
Just in case anyone’s still having an issue with this:
Virus & threat protection > Protection history > It’ll say either Threat blocked or Threat removed or restored, click on that > then Actions and either Allow or Restore the ‘threat’ (double check the file you’re allowing is actually NoRestForTheWicked.exe)
