Steamless VS reshade

I'm not gonna put the actual instructions for cracking here since that's already on the sites of the tools you'll be using. I will only link the tools here and the rest will be up to you. The main tools for cracking are going to be Steamless, and Goldberg emulator. These tools can be a bit tedious on their own but someone has graciously made an auto cracker that requires you to download the first 2 tools and then automates the process for you.

FWIW people don't need to install visual studio and build Steamless from source, they can just download the release of Steamless from https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases/latest

Steamless - for unpacking DOA6.exe.

If you wanna play those games you brought in steam you get yourself a steam emulator like goldberg's heres the link if you want to https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/ (Note:It only works if you have a game protected with steam's DRM and if it dosent work go get steamless by Atm0s https://github.com/atom0s/Steamless/releases/tag/v3.1.0.3)

TH13 (Ten Desires) and onwards are all available on DLSite for digital purchase as well. Everything else before that up until PoFV are all on Steam. Everything before PoFV (excluding PC-98) are available for physical purchase through AKIBA-HOBBY. All aforementioned methods can be found on the wiki’s Purchasing Guide. You can also use Steamless (GitHub) to play any game on Steam you’ve purchased without DRM.

Well if u having trouble with the new ck and steam seems to be the culprit get Steamless, which cut ties with steam and makes ck standalone

A Steamless version of Skyrim is DRM-free, can roll back updates, and can be totally offline.

You can, if you strip the steam DRM off the game with steamless

Anything with an external launcher like Ubisoft Play or EA Origin have DRM checks. Steam has them as well to combat people selling accounts or piracy and requires that you be online every 2 weeks or so to play the game. Games that have no need for online and do not have an external launcher can be fixed by using Steamless to make a DRM free exe that can be run in offline mode. Having someone play on your pc and also play on your deck at same time without being kicked off of one of the games while BOTH being online works this way as well. This will not work with all games but if it only uses steam DRM and has no online features it will.

If you are interested in making it look even better, then installing ReShade and adding FSAA there also makes a huge improvement over the best settings in game.

Reshade is popularly used with a vast variety of presets to change the atmosphere, anything works which you find appealing. I like u/Gwnf5066 presets.

I spend some time today and klicked through various reshade filters (free download at https://reshade.me ). They can be turned on and off ingame via hotkey, live-changed during the game and have (almost) no performance hit. They also do not declare as a Warno Mod and hence are fully compatible with multiplayer, ranked games etc. As I am not a pro in shaders and such stuff, it was a process of trial and error.

Download Reshade if you want to use CAS Sharpening (make sure to activate it by pressing 'Home' button once you're back in Starfield) since DLSS doesn't have one atm
