As by finding out in a previous thread on the forum.
The mean reason for the cracks for later stages is to bypass the need to connect to relic servers where legitimate users will have an account with their CD-Key tied with them.
The game will check online if no media is in the drive. So no need for a crack.
If offline the game will check media.
So why do people use the crack then use a mini-image? Only one reason to bypass online checks. Which I think shouldnt be allowed to be hosted.
Maybe Empire can elaborate if the crack is fine or not
