Spyware in new patch??
My anti-virus software deleted a file in the new patch. Now the game doesn't run. Anyone else have this problem?

More likely that the anti-virus software mistakenly identified something as a problem.
Which file was it?

Spybot Search and Destroy. I reinstalled the patch and the game still wont run. I don't have the name of the files deleted. I downloaded the patch to continue a game that I've been playing and when I ran the game Spybot deleted some files. I guess I have to reinstall the game.

I'm pretty sure it's not Spyware. JK's not exactly like that.

I run spybot S&d all the time on all my machines - runs fine.
I suspect you do have a virus....
I'm currently using versions 1.52 - 1.62 of spybot..

Re: Spyware in new patch??
I'm sure that it was a misidentification. I just fixed the problem. I reinstalled, re-patched, and ran as administrator. This time it ran okay.

What probably happened was that they noticed the Snake Charmer mercenary leading militia was called Putin, and they hacked the game files to keep tabs on Dom3 players as a potential threat to national security.

You need to do a proper scan on your system. If Spybot detected something as being bad news, chances are you have some malware turning other files into bad news including those dominion files. Run one of the many freeware virus scans out there like AVG free edition, you may have something serious going on with your PC.
