I usually have to disable web protection, not good, then restart the comp to play the game. Thanks Exile, for taking the time to address this for me.
If the issue is simply that block notifications are being displayed interrupting you while gaming, you can add your game to the list of applications for Play Mode in Malwarebytes' settings as documented in this support article.Īlso, once you've posted the logs showing the blocks, Malwarebytes' Researchers can review the site(s)/server(s) in question and determine if they can be safely removed from Malwarebytes' block list, and if so they will then do so which should eliminate the issue for all who play the game (assuming it's a specific server/servers being blocked every time the game is launched and not due to the game connecting to different IPs/servers through the use of peer-to-peer technology if it's due to P2P connections, we should be able to help you to create web exclusions for the game to eliminate the blocks as mentioned above once you post the logs). To get the block reports, please refer to the information in this support article and use the Copy to clipboard function to copy/paste the log(s) here showing the blocks.
That said, if you're having an issue with a particular game due to website/IP blocks from Malwarebytes and exclusions aren't working, please post logs showing the blocks and we should be able to assist you in getting it to work correctly. What issue specifically are you encountering? I ask because the issue in this thread is just that the game War Thunder is connecting to an IP address known for also hosting malicious content, hence the blocks from Malwarebytes, but the game itself continued to work perfectly fine in spite of the blocks. If we can help with anything else please let us know. This is because many domains/websites can be hosted on the same server/IP address, so even though a connection to a server/IP through your game may be perfectly safe and may not contain anything malicious, other websites/domains hosted on the same IP address may be used for malicious purposes, meaning visiting those sites using a web browser could be risky.Įither way, as long as the game is functioning normally and you aren't having any issues playing the game, you can simply leave the blocks in place and just enjoy your game, though you may want to activate Play Mode for your game in Malwarebytes as described in this support article so that you aren't interrupted by any notifications from Malwarebytes while playing your game. The peer-to-peer nature of most online games frequently leads to them sometimes being blocked by the Web Protection in Malwarebytes as explained above. If the blocks do cause any problems then you may exclude the game using the method described by Porthos above to allow an application that connects to the internet which will allow all connections for your game without having to allow any potentially unsafe sites for other web facing applications such as your web browser so that you don't compromise your system's security. Thank You very much.Ĭorrect, as long as the game works and you don't have any issues playing the game or connecting to servers for online play, you don't have to do anything and can just ignore the blocks. So there is nothing to worry about even if MB blocks some IP from War Thunder.
To do so, add the game exe to your exclusions using the method described under the Exclude an Application that Connects to the Internet section of this support article.
WAR THUNDER SERVERS SOFTWARE
Such connections are not a threat however, and you may exclude Torrent based software from the Web Protection component in Malwarebytes to stop the blocks from happening without compromising your protection (your web browser and other critical web facing programs will still be fully protected from malicious websites and other malicious content). This is because servers/IP addresses are often shared by multiple sites, so while what you are Playing/downloading through Torrent based software may be perfectly safe, some of the sites hosted on some of the IP addresses that Torrent based software connects to may be malicious. Is there something wrong with War Thunder?Īs for why Malwarebytes blocks War Thunder and other games, this is because the games are Torrent based software, are what are known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications meaning it connects to many different servers/IP addresses (this is how files are downloaded through Torrent based software) and because of this, sometimes Torrent based software will connect to a server that is also known for hosting malicious content.
