It has been discovered that Windows Defender can greatly increase the amount of time it takes for the game to load.

To resolve this, you can set an exception in Windows Defender for Star Control Origins by following the steps below:

Right click the Star Control: Origins game in your staem library, then click "Properties". On the next screen, select the "Local Files" tab, then select "Browse Local Content..."

This will take you to the folder where STar Control: Origins is installed. Left click the address bar and copy the complete path by pressing ctrl+c or right clicking and selecting "Copy".

Open the Start Menu in the bottom left corner of your screen and type in "Defender". The "Windows Defender Settings" option should appear at the top, left click this.

This will open the Windows Security centre, left click "Virus & threat protection", then select "Virus & threat protection settings"

Scroll down to "Exclusions" and select "Add or remove exclusions".

Click "Add an exclusion", then select "Folder", then paste in the path you copied earlier by either pressing Ctrl+P or right click and Paste, then click "Select Folder".

Congratulations, Star Control: Origins should now load much faster.

If you're playing this game via a QEMU virtual machine this also fixes the host-machine stutter.

Hey does anyone know if its safe to exclude the common file from steamapps in its entirety?

I get more fps stability with real-time protection turned off. I think theirs truth to this post.

@spacedog I don't really think you / we will have to be suspicious about Steam Workshop. The community corrects itself when something is not right.
You are right about disabling virus scanners though, but i think most players should be more worried about going to suspicious sites, than to worry about Steam Workshop.

This will only improve the load time the very first time you run the game, or after a patch. Once Windows Defender has scanned a file, it won't real-time scan it again unless the file has changed.

Hopefully it should be obvious why you really don't want to disable your virus scanners on any program that can download content from the Internet (e.g. Steam Workshop).

I did not notice an change in the load time. Is this a version 1903 issue?
My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro N (1809)
