Its only a launcher, so the main executable will use paul.dll to authenticate the disc.

[TippeX]

actually i think its launcher->launcher (which has paul) -> game.exe (which has g4wl)
paul.dll doesnt authenticate the disk, its the product activation module, if paul is removed then i think a disk check happens, at least it did in my tests on other programs.

[DABhand]

So it only authenticates the disc if you dont go online to register your serial then?

Seems to be the norm for games.

[ShadowDuke]

If you stay connected at the internet at install you have to activate online. Are you offline at install you have to activate manual with OfflineActivation.exe.

Here's a link how it works with online/offline activation.

i downloaded a .exe in that page that may be crackeable..
but still dont know what to do with paul.dll

[EMPiRE]

GTA 4 requires the DVD to be present after activation:

gta_iv_no_dvd_needed.jpg

(The picture was send-in by a user)

[letsrock]

so there'll be a need for a mini-image or smoething like that..

[Muji-FightR]

It sucks you still have to insert the disc :/
For me thats the online advantage of the online game activation stuff.
Maybe it reads files off the DVD, but I doubt this is still being done in any recent game :?

[EMPiRE]

A Mini-Image is available [here] to bypass the DVD-Check

It Obviously does not remove the SecuROM PA (Authentication)!

v. 1.1

No new files with copyprotection updated - some new files and new GTAIV.exe which is not protected. So RZR/FeD0R should still work.

[TippeX]

you scanned the wrong file shadowduke, the launchgtaiv.exe is the protected one, gtaiv.exe is just protected with games for windows live... the game is still securom protected -> 7.38.0014

[ShadowDuke]

..as i said..

The Launcher.exe is not updated (with the patch), but gtaiv.exe is new one.

[ShadowDuke]

v. 1.2

same as 1.1 - only new gtaiv.exe - launcher.exe still the same as v. 1.0
