    My VorpX WAS working.

    VorpX just downloaded an updated today on 8/29/25. As soon as I downloaded the update, AVG antivirus jumped it. I tried to tell it to ignore anything suspicious but VorpX stopped working.

    I then disabled AVG and then re-installed VorpX and VorpX still isn’t working. :(

    False positive, can happen after an update due to antivirus programs guessing wrong.

    Three options:

    1. Exclude the vorpX program folder from your AV scanner, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Animation Labs\vorpX.
    2. Report the issue to AVG as a false positive so that they can fix the problem they have with their poorly working guesswork.
    3. Get rid of your unnecessary third party AV. Windows Defender is more than good enough since more than a decade. It kicks in when you uninstall your unnecessary third party AV program. I usually make sure that new updates get whitelisted by Defender before release if necessary.

    Update: I permanently disabled AVG. However, since installing the UPDATE for VorpX I noticed that my favorite game “Sine Mora Ex” immediately stopped working. It worked before the update. The update to VorpX was the ONLY thing I changed.

    Is there a way to revert back to the older version of Vorp X so I can play my game Vorp X??

    Some of the more annoying/invasive third party antivirus programs are fairly difficult to disable. The three options you have are listed in my reply above.

    More bad news. I now totally uninstalled AVG and the latest version of VorpX still won’t run the game Sine Mora Ex without crashing. O well. :(

    Works fine here. Reply from a few days ago in your other thread:

    I could fix the issue by making SineMoraEX.exe large address aware, which raises the amount of RAM available to the game above the 2GB limit old 32-bit games have per default.

    That’s always worth a shot if you encounter issues like this with older 32-bit games on modern systems, regardless whether they actually run out of memory or not. Especially if you know they worked before.

    A small tool that can make 32-bit .exe files large address aware can be found here:

    Caveat: Only try this if you actually run into issues with a 32-bit game. In some, although probably rare, cases making a game large address aware can introduce new problems.
