Started getting Windows Defender Threat Detected today when launching BF2042.
Launched the game three times to check it was only happening with 2042. Which is is. Any other game does not trigger the threat detection (was thinking it might have been Nvidia Overlay or something) IOt also triggers without Nvidia Overlay Active.
Launching through Steam with the "EA Lite" app.
Hi h3x1e
The file detected TmpCD20.tmp has nothing to do with Battlefield 2042. It is a temporary file created by another program on your PC.
To resolve this issue, simply empty your temporary folder as follows:
1- Open Windows Explorer
2- Go to C:\WINDOWS\Temp or C:\WINDOWS\SystemTemp
3- In the Temp folder, Select All with CTRL+A
4- With all files highlighted, press the Delete key or click the Delete button
5- Once deleted, restart your computer
After that, I recommend running a virus scan with ESET: https://www.eset.com/online-scanner/
You can then safely launch your game.😄
Yeah, the tmp file only gets created when launching 2042. idk what could be causing it as nothing has changed with my 2042 install since it was installed and this wasnt happening previously. The tmp causing the issue gets removed instantly when launching 2042 but still. Only happens when launching 2042, no other game.
