Bypass SafeDisc[3]
|
- Copy
dplayerx.dll from CD2 to <path-to-game>
- Download unSafedisc + HowTo.
- Create the following temporary directory:
TempDir: C:\temp\exe
4. Copy unSafeDisc to C:\temp\ (cannot be in the same location as game files!)
5. Copy the following files from the game directory to TempDir.
theocracy-0.6.85.exe
theocracy-0.6.85.icd
dplayerx.dll
6. Execute unSafedisc.exe , press Decrypt Game and select <TempDir>\theocracy-0.6.85.icd
- This will create testme.exe file in <TempDir>\
- Quit UnSafeDisc and rename the create testme.exe to: theocracy-0.6.85.exe
- Copy the fixed theocracy-0.6.85.exe file to the game directory - overwriting the existing one!
- Remove the TempDir as it is not needed anymore.
