“Cracked” meaning having replaced a dll file

They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself

You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.

I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.

Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)

I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Tbh what you’re doing is exactly what I did too with Skyrim. Downloaded a crack played for probably 1k hours and then bought it just to play 1k more

Doom Eternal has Denuvo.

It was developed by ID I believe, bethesda only published the game.

It had denuvo but the game shipped with a denuvo-less exe so it was “cracked” day 1 lol.

Mighta been the 2016 doom but regardless it was funny lol

And is developed by ID software, not Bethesda Game Studios. Bethesda the publisher has different tactics when it comes to games not developed by BGS.
