does it have to be bitDefender because i already have an antivirus on my laptop?
i do not have bitDefender
I don't know if other programs conflict. BitDefender is known to do so.
You can try by turning off AntiVirus and check if the game than starts.
i have turned off the anti-virus on my laptop and tried to run it again and still hasnt played.
any other solutions or ideas?
Not really.
