You might also need to copy some other files over, depending on what’s in the crack. Sometimes they also have a steam_api.ini file and maybe a .DLL file, in addition to the .exe.
But yeah, you’d really just want to copy what’s in the crack over and overwrite anything it’s trying to. If it doesn’t work, you can just “verify game files” in steam to get the originals back.
Of course this also assumes the crack is for the Steam version. If it was cracked for the EGS version, it won’t necessarily work with a Steam copy.
On the actual coast, sure. Come to the Central Valley of California, tho. Shit’s basically the same as Florida except that it’s not guaranteed to rain every day around 5pm. 90-100+ heat with 90-100% humidity. 😵💫
