How do I add Spellcraft as an exception to McAfee Antivirus software?

Below you will find the steps on how to add Spellcraft executables and files to the exception list of McAfee AntiVirus software. Please see our article regarding Troubleshooting Antivirus (AV) for more information.

In September 2020, McAfee updated their Windows security products with a new look and feel. Below you will find the steps for their legacy version as well as their new Windows user interface.

Legacy Windows user interface:

1. Open your McAfee security software.
2. Click PC Security.
3. Click Real-Time Scanning.
4. Click Excluded Files.
5. Click Add file.
6. Browse to, and select, the file that you want to exclude from Real-Time scanning.
7. Repeat the process as needed to exclude multiple files from being scanned.

NOTE: These changes only apply to Real-Time Scanning. For your changes to also apply to On-Demand, Scheduled, and command-line scanning, you must upgrade to version 16.0.37 or later. 

New Windows user interface:

1. Open your McAfee security software.
2. Click the settings gear icon at the top-right of the screen.
3. Under PC Settings, click Real-Time Scanning.
   
   NOTE: The files that you exclude under this menu will also be excluded from On-Demand, Scheduled, and command-line scanning.
    
4. Under Excluded Files, click Add file.
5. Browse to, and select, the file that you want to exclude from being scanned.
6. Repeat the process as needed to exclude multiple files from being scanned.

After making these changes, the files are excluded from all scanning in your McAfee software.

NOTE: You must be using version 16.0.37 or later for files to be excluded from all scan types. If you have an older version of McAfee software, the exclusions only apply to Real-Time Scanning.

Now that you know how to add exceptions to your software, here are the next steps

• Add the following directory to your exemption list: %localappdata%\OneMoreGame

  • NOTE: %localappdata% (as mentioned above) is a default path. In the event that you installed Spellcraft somewhere else, you’ll have to look for the Spellcraft directory in that location and thus also add that directory to your antivirus exception list.

• Once that’s done, run the "Repair Game Files" button which you can find under the "Menu" button. 

• When the game is finished repairing your game files, you should be good to go.

If this doesn't fix it you can try to uninstall the game and start fresh. Here is a link to the patcher.
