Yup, I actually do that myself. The only thing patchswitchers do is change those 4 files, no registry keys or anything else, so it's really easy to do manually.
The patchswitcher does has folders for the files that are being switched. So lemme get this straight. I:
1)Uninstall the game
2)Reinstall with crack
3)Take the files from the patchswitcher folder, and copy them into my battlefield folder, overwriting those four files?
If i'm just overwriting these files then what is the point of re-installing?
EDIT: fuck it all. I cant get the patchswitcher to work, I cant get hacks to work, I cant get anykey to work, the game constantly crashes. Cracked copies are shit. I'm just going to order the entire collection (BF1942 + Road to Rome + Secret Weapons + Vietnam) for only 10 bucks, shipped right to my house. I could use the new CD key anyways, i'm tired of being banned on a select few servers.
