What stupid is in patching a crack because I did it and I didnt get any error messages
|
Some games have patches that replace old files with new files (sometimes without checking what the old file is like or if it is missing) and some games use a system that modifies old files into new files. Trying to patch a cracked/modified game that has the second system is going to result in an error or some unexpected behavior.
The majority of games just replace the old files with new files so it won't be a problem to patch a cracked/modified game, people get used to it, and are surprized that some obscure error like "patch failed" (no reason) appeared.
Most of the errors are obvious enough though ("game.exe is not the right size" or "game.exe CRC error")
Always back-up the files the crack will replace. (saves from re-installing the game just to get the original files)
