BPR unlaunchable

[CognizantDoor69]

hey, people, i have a problem. Recently, i installed Burnout Paradise Remastered and i installed BPR Modder and i've installed some mods, including Brick Remastered, but when i launch it, the game (or Mod Loader) shows this error, that you can see in the picture. I don't know why it happened to me, but i can only imagine, that someone has the same issue as me. If you have a fix for this error, i'll be thankful for help. Thanks

Are you using the cracked version of the game?

[CognizantDoor69]

sadly, yes

Having the same problem, cracked version too. The game was "running fine" before installing the mod, and with running fine I mean it was lauching it and I could enter the game, I'm so confused, I don't even know if it is fixable.

@CognizantDoor69 did you had any luck?

(I get it if no one wants to help me out since it's the cracked version but please don't go yellin at me since this game price on my country currency is worth 3 days of work, cant' afford it rn)

There is no known fix at this time. If uninstalling BPR Modder doesn't fix it, renaming/removing the mod loader (dinput8.dll) from the game folder will.

Please keep in mind BPR Modder was made some 5 years before any cracks existed. This is not an intentional decision to prevent cracked players from using mods. It's up to @Bo98 to decide whether to update it to support cracked games.

i tried anything, but i have no luck, so my guess is, this mod doesn't even support the cracked version, so i guess i have to buy this game on Steam.

I don't think @Bo98 will ever update it to support cracked games. I guess he hates the cracked games so much, because he can't tolerate the piracy and the pirated games are always broken and unsupported.

So I said "this is not intentional" and what you took away was "he hates the cracked games"? Interesting.

What I've heard is Bo intends to support cracked games. However, if every cracked player is this hostile, perhaps he shouldn't.

oh. Oh well, if Bo intends to support cracked games like BPR, i'll be appreciated.

It will be appreciated, yes. Can't say any of this involves appreciating you though... you probably forgot the "T" in "it'll be appreciated."

So, I checked the error and the Mod Loader is looking for an environment variable named EALaunchEAID. It is your EA username. Since the cracked version doesn't use the EA App, the environment variable isn't set. As a workaround, I've patched the dinput8.dll to use the USERNAME environment variable, which is your Windows username and it'll be always set.

Note: GitHub doesn't like dll attachments, so here is a zip archive with the dll.
