ParticipantMy 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. :(

KeymasterFalse positive, can happen after an update due to antivirus programs guessing wrong.
Three options:
- Exclude the vorpX program folder from your AV scanner, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Animation Labs\vorpX.
- Report the issue to AVG as a false positive so that they can fix the problem they have with their poorly working guesswork.
- 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.

ParticipantUpdate: 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??

KeymasterSome 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.

ParticipantMore 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. :(

KeymasterWorks 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:
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/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.
