My gaming group downloaded cracked copies of R.E.P.O., but I’m planning to purchase the official version instead. I prefer buying games to support the developers, and I’m uneasy about the risks that come with piracy on my computer. Since the game costs only about €10, I feel it’s worth it to get the genuine version. However, I’m now concerned that we may not be able to play together online. From what I’ve gathered, it seems that official and pirated versions typically can’t connect for multiplayer games. Can someone confirm if this is accurate for R.E.P.O.? I really want to game with my friends while also doing the right thing by buying the game legitimately.
Nah, cracked and legit versions can’t play together. They connect to different servers and use totally different networking systems. The cracked games have their own separate multiplayer that doesn’t connect to the official version. For €10, just get your friends to buy it too. Otherwise you’ll be stuck playing alone or hunting for other legit players.
You’re right; cracked and legit versions typically can’t connect. It all comes down to how the game’s multiplayer authentication is set up.
Yeah, cracked and legit versions usually don’t connect because they run on different systems. It might be a good idea to suggest your friends get the official version too since it’s just 10 euros.
