Sadly the firewall trick doesn't work for me, and now after I played it for like 7h yeasterday I cannot refund it nor I can't play it because when im trying to click create PSN acc im getting error pupup that edge cant read and write to its data directory(btw this was my reason for using this mod so now I was legally scammed by sony cuz I cannot even play the product I have bought). Is there any help for either creating this shitting acc or using this mod back?
seems to work ~every other time the game is ran from steam.
specifically, after adding the two files: run the game, get the acct prompt press H to quit run the game again- no acct prompt load a save and play, then quit game at some point run the game- get the acct prompt press H to quit run the game again- no acct prompt load a save and play, then quit game at some point
and so on
havent touched fw settings
edit: ok - setting the two windows defender game exe incoming rules to block is not sufficient. you need to create a new fw rule to block outgoing (all protocols) for the game exe as well. anyone tried this with the full game exe fw block but without the two files provided by the mod?
I've downloaded this mod just to endorse it, even not using it yet and recommend any reader comming from internet to do so to get rid of bloatware. gamers never asked for it.
You know what, that might have actually been the case for me too. Since the .exe changed, I got the firewall popup again and denied it. I guess I allowed it the first time
While this does remove the PSN depency/PSN login that's supposedly required for the game, does it also stop the PSN SDK and related processes from running in the background?
This is how bad it can be: https://i.redd.it/6aaubl98g9qd1.png

- Added the "CreateThread" hook to pretend that the user is fully offline.
Note: original PsPcSdk.dll by Sony is included in package (since the game also performs the check of an actual valid signature).specifically, after adding the two files:
run the game, get the acct prompt
press H to quit
run the game again- no acct prompt
load a save and play, then quit game at some point
