Just tested it on an external hard drive and like what I said above work fine as wellcrack isn't working for me. I created the folders and put the file in Managed but it still doesn't let me connect to patreon. does the game need to be installed on the same drive (c) ?
make sure you have the correct version of the game for the correct crack (check the bottom right of the main menu) which in this case is 0.41Final, which is what the crack link in my signature points to.
