OctoWoW Launcher Flagged and Quarantined...

Post#1 » Sun Jul 05, 2026 8:48 am

Why is launcher 1.2 getting flagged when the previous ones were fine? I want to play the game, but I might have to do it without the launcher, seeing the risk.

Anyone else experiencing this, with their new launcher?

Turtle used to have the exact same flag
it's how .dll's function vs windows defender

at least 3k players (PvE + HC + PvP) haven't reported anything suspicious yet

I am playing for more than a month here without the launcher and not a single issue on my pc happened.
DDL injection for PS are like this for a long time but windows is dumb as fuck as always was.
If they really wanna do data breach/ mine crypto they already have done it, don't see the point on wait (:
Is probably more safer then run a a research on google or using win 11 who is a huge spyware xD
If people don't trust Octo just play on a Virtual Box as is become really easy to setup one.
But if they gonna find a way to clean up the false flag for windumb gonna be really good, as not all are computer geek nowadays :D

I didn't have any issues with the Launcher until the 2nd update to the launcher.
