Already did, there are only CD Checks...
Just wondering, now that we know what it is, how does one remove it?  EDIT: Just ran another scan, it seems there are a few checks, not just on the main game exe. I can post a copy/paste of the scan here if needed! Thanks all! Last edited by sabbey; 14-05-2005 at 14:25.

Okay, it appears that the game utility Un-CDCheck v1.0, worked in removing the checks in the exes. Haven't looked into seeing how to remove it from the patchw32.dll file though...
Actually, I did use notepad to find it within the file, but don't know whether removing it will effect it, in a problematic way or not though. I had to do a system restore since the only crack I found for the game gave my PC a headache. I will check this out more once I get the game re-installed.

Hi sabbey,
Errr, I don't understand what you wanna do with patchw32.dll... It is the core of the .RTPatch binary file patching system, see http://www.rtpatch.com for more infos. Just thought I'd mention... Joe

I don't know, this is the first time I have done anything to a DLL file. All I know is, it has a CD check...
According to PID: Scanning -> C:\Games\FreeSpace\patchw32.dll File Type : Dll, Size : 142336 (022C00h) Bytes [!] Possible CD/DVD-Check String -> Insert Disk - Scan Took : 0.969 Seconds I made a back-up of the file, guess I can just remove the text within notepad and see what happens...

Hi sabbey,
Look at the Properties sheet of patchw32.dll. Mine says: File Version: 8.0.0.0 Description: RTPatch Executable Copyright: (C) Copyright Pocket Soft, Inc., 2003. All Rights Reserved. What does yours say? By the way, "hiding" the main software as a patching system DLL could be a good idea but I don't think it is so as, after having a look at it, a cracker could find that out in around 10 seconds anyway... Joe
