| Issue | Impact | |-------|--------| | | Many repacks omit required .dll files or DirectX runtimes, causing crashes on launch. | | No Steam updates | The official version received patches (e.g., fixing brake physics, memory leaks). Repacks are frozen at the cracked version. | | Broken scenarios | Scenarios referencing Steam Workshop assets or missing DLC will error out. | | Antivirus false positives | Cracked .exe files are often flagged (and sometimes actually contain malware). | | Save game corruption | Common in repacks due to modified .dll or registry entries. |
