Judging by the fact that bad reviews arn't instantly disappearing anymore, I guess the ...can you even call him a creator? stopped mass reporting them until they were removed. Or maybe they were just too busy changing passwords (lol).

So, 0.41 version uncracked, why does it require a password?
So you can give him the munnies.

Sounds like to me(bracing for a "no shit sherlock"), that we simply need to find a way to prevent the game from going online? I mean, if it works perfectly fine when you run the activated game with the internet off, then we simply need a crack/mod that makes it so the game won't go online?

Tbh, I didn't even know Ren'Py engine could go online, and without your permission? and then change the files in the directory!? It is kinda making me paranoid about other renpy games now too lol
Assuming it doesn't force an online check to verify the current password before you can proceed. I haven't looked at it so I hope I didn't give him ideas there, since it is very clear that he spends at least half his "development time" watching this thread.

If not, you don't need hacks for that. Just put a rule into windows firewall assuming you're on Windows (no mac version and all, and if you have linux you already know)

if it tells you to connect to the internet, extract it but you must turn off your connection first. and then try playing it but without turning on your connection as well. it should work i think.
nope it still tells me to connect to the internet


I don't think that's it, this error is from when I'm starting the game, loading the files, if I remove the x-scripts folder it works again, but the gallery apparently doesn't work without this folder
where is this x-scripts folder? how did you do it thanks a lot

Well, they won't remove reviews unless its blatantly obvious the reviewer did not play the game or they gave a bad review just because of tags they don't like. That's sadly very prevalent with ntr games.

I'm playing the latest version and activated it with the code somebody posted earlier. The code has been banned but I just turn off my internet when I run the game and it works just fine. I highly doubt he will make the game require internet connection after activation, that would be such a shitty anti-consumer move towards his supporters. Its a damn single player VN lmao.

EDIT: Nope. he is actually blocking supporters from playing the latest version without internet connection. Insane.

I tried this too with an earlier build and it did not work. That's what's scary about it because it require no admin privilege or network permission prompt to go online and actually change files on your PC.

It seems it's useless even with the files, without the Extra Patch RPY file.

Edit: Alright, I think I figured out why it's doing what it's doing.
You're supposed to use Unren to extract the RPA files in the Game folder and move those folders where I don't know yet since Unren is not letting me extra the RPA files for some reason. It keeps giving me an error. If anyone else can help me figure out how to extract them successfully, that would be helpful as then I can figure out the rest from there.

heres a fairly indepth description of the DRM

game checks online for certain things
it downloads code, both game code and DRM code
it checks for banned passwords or save files to disable leaks
pretty sure theres some non DRM things it also checks

so lets say the password is 123456
so when you put in a password it connects online to check if the password is correct
if the password was leaked he would change it, then he would add it to a banned password list
so you connect online and it updates the banned password list
save file will have a list like "banned passwords" 123456, whateverelseisbanned
you game will realise your using a banned password and require a new one
hence, backup your save files, cause running offline may fix it

each save has some kinda unique marker so if you had a save file you handed out
they can also disable the specific save files

also the public and patreon versions are different
public has everything up to the last update
patreon is missing a huge chunk of the game (currently everything after tent sex is missing)
so if you pirate a patreon release and its not activated, its like going back a ton of updates
(i actually reached out to F95 mods to make them stop deleting the public updates, since cracks when broken were worse then public)
and the patreon release downloads the new code when you put in the password and puts the code into the save file itself
so if you only crack the patreon release to bypass the password check, the game errors out because the code is missing

so you need to get the online code and make it into a separate file for the game to read
either by digging into the code and finding out where it gets the code from and going to that URL
which is made harder because every update or 2 he changes the code to break unren so you need to keep customizing it
or by exporting it out of the save file, which cant be read by renpy save editors because he makes it incompatible so you would likely need some kinda customization there, but the crackers i know all use custom unren

he also has updated the DRM code before
hes updated it before to check for the crack files and deletes them
if filename uploaded is "hanacrack" and "hanacode" it would check for them and delete them
i think at one point it was deleting all files that were unofficial every time the game ran
so you needed to apply the crack every time you wanted to play, because the game would delete the crack after opening

I think but i cant remember, but i also think he had renamed some of the variables in online code
so the crack needed to be updated to use the new variable names as it was editing the wrong values
(he renames the variables every update, so the new crack was just updating variable names)

hes also edited files in the game folder, so if you only had a activated save file, it would realize the game in that folder had not been activated before, just the save file, and want the password again (which is why i generally uploaded the full cracked game folder, but i think the crack bypasses this now)

he has layers of DRM
but it still takes like idk a half hour to a hour usually to crack it at this point as the DRM is mostly understood
learn how new DRM works, bypass it, use last crack as reference to make next crack
my crack is based on a crack made by someone years ago, and was updated by smarter people
but since i have a reference crack, it was a non issue, i did have to figure out how to get the online code again

i took 45min to get past the password check having not been active cracking it for several updates
and like idk a half hour to get the online code (he changed how it was hosted since i last had to get it)
Man, imagine if he spent all this effort on making the content instead.
