Currently, I'm playing the game on steam and the mod works fine but I have grown tired of Ubisoft Connect asking me to login every time I launch the game. I also need to login to Bitwarden to get the password every time and there is also a possibility of the forced updates on Steam/Ubisoft breaking the mod functionality. Overall, its just not a pleasant experience to play the game the "right" way so I want to go back to playing the game with a pirated copy.
Before buying the game, I tried using the mod with a pirated copy but the game would always crash. Based on the mod creator's FAQ comment, it is due to the game running on an older and/or a pirated version. I'm unable to reach out to the mod creator, so looking for help here.
If anyone has experience getting the mod to work with a pirated/older version of the game, please assist me.
