I'm shocked no one seems to have tried to make this as a shortcut.AS OF v5.2.0:
The game scans for.batfiles andsteam_appid.txtin its base directory (whereRavager.exeetc are), and quits during intialization if it finds any as an anti-piracy measure.
For now, the easiest fix would be to use the.batmethod but rename the file to.cmd, or launch a command prompt in said base directory (Ctrl+Shift+Right Click -> "Open PowerShell window here" in Windows Explorer) and manually run the command:Code:lib\py3-windows-x86_64\pythonw.exe Ravager.py
I've attached a bypass that works for the time being: ExtractRavager.cmdto the same folder asRavager.exeand useRavager.cmdto start the game.
IF you have used any other cracks/bypasses before on the same installation make sure to delete any.batfiles and (files ending with)steam_appid.txtfrom the base directory.
1. Create a shortcut to
Ravager.py2. Go to the shortcut's properties
3. Add
\lib\py3-windows-x86_64\pythonw.exe (note the space after pythonw.exe) to target, right before Ravager.py4. Rename it to
Ravager.exeAlternatively, have this
.bat file to create the shortcut, just drop it by the .exe and see it work its wonders (it creates a shortcut).
