GameMaker Studio Compiler False Positive

Recommended Posts

Malwarebytes has started flagging the compiler part of the GameMaker Studio 1.4 game engine as Ransomware, removing it to quarantine. The program is definitely not ransomware and the quarantining of the EXE is causing lost work. I have attached the MBAMSERVICE.LOG log file to this post, and the quarantine log shows:

Hi,

This was indeed a false positive based upon generic detections and has been fixed already. 

As an additional note, I suggest you add AppData\Roaming\GameMaker-Studio-Dev\5piceIDE.exe to your Malwarebytes exclusions as well - where you can select this for the Antiransomware component seperately.

Thanks for reporting!
