Avast and online gaming problem
« on: October 21, 2013, 03:28:29 AM »
Hello everyone. I have a question. I use a windows 8 laptop, and about 3 months ago, I downloaded asphalt 7 from the windows store, it ran great, but only one problem, it wouldn't let me play "multiplayer" a pop up  would read that I wasn't connected to the internet. so I tried to get help from gameloft, no help, so I pretty much gave up, so windows 8.1 comes around, I download it, and later for the heck of it, I try multiplayer again, and it worked!! so I thought all it took was windows 8.1, I was wrong. turns out that for 3 days, I was without avast. windows 8.1 deleted my avast anti virus. so I re-installed it. so today when I try playing asphalt 7 multiplayer, I was back to reading that pop up saying I wasn't connected to the net, so it's gotta be avast doing this. would anyone know what I can do? I'm using the free version of avast by the way.
