For illegitimate users, they can easily download the FAR archives manually and extract the game to their custom install folder. The built-in automated process is built and supports legitimate copies only.

Special K Install Manager (SKIM) doesn't care about supporting illegitimate copies of games. Never heard of a "browse" function? like, ya know, maybe i chose a diff install directory? SKIM (Special K Install Manager) which is used to provide the automated installation process of FAR goes through the registry to detect the Steam install folder so it can detect where the game is installed for legitimate users.

Why are you running through registry and all that? show achievement stats for friends, players currently online playing the game, etc). it's necessary for FAR/Special K to interact with that to provide said features and functionality (e.g. The Steam API is used for all Steam related features and functionality, and.

Please note that even if it does work, the crack can have unwanted consequences such as all network connectivity being unavailable.
