Antivirus takes all the measures to stop the malware and virus-flagged files. While it is perfect in doing so, it is not perfect in flagging files. Sometimes the Antivirus will flag your in-game files and software as potential viruses and malware as well.

Ultimately, it will stop the files from accessing the system completely, and not running as a result. In this case, disabling the Antivirus will fix The Day Before Blue Screen.

Also, as an extra, you might want to head over to Windows Firewall settings and add The Day Before. It will disable the Firewall Protection for the game.
