Game not launching? [FIX]

I just restored the file, and after the game performed a directX installation (Doubtfully installed anything)



The game is running again, apparently some antiviruses (if not only AVAST) is catching this server.dll file which is apparently important for the game to run as a virus, just restore the file, and launch the game, it will perform the "first time installation" and run again.

Avast -> Scan -> Scan For Viruses -> Quarantine -> server.dll -> Restore & Add to Exclusions



The Quarantine link is at the bottom.

Let's see if this works :))) Thanks Cloud9!!
