Beware: Avast! antivir can, sometimes, mess with Construct 2

Just to make a record of my issue on the forums, so anyone having the same issue i had could resolve it without spending as much time i spent. i was trying to import sounds into my project without success, failing every time to convert to either OGG and AAC. I was making sure all the files i was attempting to convert were WAV and 44100 Hz, and still could not have them imported to Construct 2. I uninstalled Avast and BAM, no more issues.

By the way, i was having constant disconnects on my internet for no reason as well. Turns out no Avast resulted in no more disconnects...

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers!

Hey!

Are you sure it's Avast?

I've been using Avast and C2 for many years now and never had any problems with them

Yep, i'm absolute positive that it was Avast that was causing me this issue. It caused some weird issues as well, like i could not open executables from my desktop. Really weird stuff. My girlfriend also had problems with random internet disconnects... and guess what: she uninstalled it as well and we're currently golden

I never thought the antivirus could interact with such things like the converter inside construct 2, but yeah.

It is true, sometimes Avast have some problems with C2. I know because I also had this problems. I changed my antivirus to Avira.
