Some games still work on UE5 with win 8.1 SurrounDead and The Bloodlines use UE5, and I can run them just fine.
the minimum requirement comes strait off the UE5 site. So what I assume/suspect is those devs are either not using tech that is specific to win10 environments, or shutting it off purposely for backwards compatibility.

Just to explain.
It's not halfway, it gets exponentially more difficult if I mess with other variables. it's like throwing a dice. to get 6 on one is 1/6 prob, but getting 6 on two is 1/6*1/6 that means 1/36
The same logic could be applied here.

I also still didn't really figure out the whole hashing process, as it doesn't use anything standardized. I needed to keep my PC running in the background for a few nights to brute-force the last part of the encryption.

At this point, I'm out of free time to do more cracking, my real job takes a huge chunk of my life, overtime, weekends etc...

Also, the good thing is license DRM doesn't change that much if at all, so no, dev doesn't really spend time on DRM instead of working on the game. I still don't understand how is it physically even possible to do that game solo even the programming part (when I messed with the code, every single thing was custom-made, no plugins, no programming assets, no shared libraries, only assets I could find were enviro assets in game files)
Out of curiosity, how did you initially get into cracking this? I get the general gist looking at the .lic file, but what are you brute forcing the check against? It seems like an interesting problem to try getting into

Who the fuck is still using Windows 7 or 8, when their support has run out a long time ago?!
I have several different machines, one with win 95, one with win XP, one with win 7, one with win 10, and one with win 11.
Some games are playable, only on older hardware, due to the fact that their performance is tied to the clock speed of the processor speed, and GPU limitations, making them unplayable on newer systems.
Also, Some, can't afford to upgrade, to the newest, most powerful configurations.

Completely different thing. Those are retro machines designed to run old games. The other guy seems to be using Win 7 as his main PC for new Games. Just awful.

Nobody said or wants that. Requirements for Windows 10 are not so high and if you want to run this game, you need a lot more than the min. requirements.

Assuming it's the 18.1 one... did you follow the instructions in the "Install info.txt" ? :)
yeah i did read the install info text but im not able to understand it where to put the .lic file in what folder. i tried my best but it wont work and also i did tried logging in with id but no luck.

Edit.: Never mind, i figured it out. I'm just too dumb to understand that,

You could easily replace that computer zoo with a single machine running Linux. WINE is a lot more compatible with old Windows games than Windows itself today lol. I remember how I struggled to run my license of CnC: Red Alert on Win 10 (something about 256 color palette, ddraw and shit) and on Linux under WINE it just works. This modern game can be played just fine too, even if you don't use -VULKAN launch argument to bypass DXVK/VKD3D translation.

I just want to say that this thread is the only source of info I have on what is going on with this game lol. The dev's last twitter post was in august and their youtube hasn't been active in over a year. Hell, even the changelog on this page hasn't even been updated. Has anyone checked if they're alive?

On an unrelated note, does anyone have a map of this game? I remember seeing one posted for an earlier version.

How do I call the drone? I remember did it in previous version but now I forgot :(
Press M to bring your map out. You'll see "Drone" locations. Go there and find a dark box, press E in the box to call the drone down and dispatch it.

Some good improvements and graphics optimization. There's a lot good to say, however, I cannot for the life of me understand why this dev wants to make playing this game as inconvenient and for a porn game as possible. Idk if some of these are a crack thing because the current crack doesn't unlock some patreon specific things for me like weather options...

But first they removed trader from your hideout, then added this bad weapon jamming (which is whatever if they tweak it), now you need to go to specific places (with workbenches) to change weapon parts? Oh for christ sakes. Also I cannot fully undress with one button anymore (I assume that's what the V was for)?. Bro I get it that it's a tad unrealistic but is it such a sin if I wanna be fully naked when raped? Suspense of disbelief is a thing.

One thing is clear to me, this isn't a porn game anymore that has good gameplay. It's a FPS game that definitely tries to take itself seriously, and just has some porn, which idk about you but Idk what's even the point if this keeps up. Like I actually prefer v14 when AI was more relentless and unfair but at least game was actually quality of life haven compared to this. It was hard but in a better, more enjoyable and rewarding way.

Oh and don't get me started trying to play this without increased inventory space. It was actually infinite in v14 but somewere in 16 was only an increase (which is ass, is it a cheat or not?) Anyway I hope his patreons got exactly what they want from a "porn" game but personally disappointed

A lot of things were added early on for testing and debugging or because there wasn't a system in place to handle something yet. Delta Zone is supposed to be a survival horror FPS with heavy adult content, but it is a game first. Systems are going to be added to make some aspects inconvenient and difficult to the dev's end goal. V key was never meant to be the system, but a way for us to dress and undress long before the clothing slot system was in place. Once that system was confirmed to work, V was removed. This is all alpha, meaning some core systems are not designed and in place yet. There is a lot more to come. Some thigns will make life easier as testing goes on and things get fixed, and some things will come in and make things harder, for example a new feralish enemy is aimed for next release. I'm sure that isn't' going to be a cakewalk with how that thing looks. Also the current crack is standard tier, not delta/investor so you are missing some cheats in the menu. Maybe people shouldn't have bitched at the person cracking...

thanks, I suspect it was something like that but I keep getting lost or killed on the way to "Drone" location :(
