I've got a real base game and a downloaded WA.
Spent most of today shitting myself cause the game kept on throwing error messages out after I decided to patch 1.8/2.3

Reinstalled everything all over again
Backed up all my illicit Store downloads
Base game, then patched 1.8
WA, then patched 2.3, then copy+paste crack
Shortcut crack to Desktop for playing

That then loaded to the game menu and I didn't really check if my .S3Packs really worked.  
Problem then came up when I decided to use CAW's Edit in Game - it crashed after doing the normal WA load screen and was about to load my world.  Any possible bypass to make CAW run it with the crack instead?

Will check how the CCs work on this cracked thing

[EDIT]: Scratch that.  Trying to get to my old backed-up games seems to have caused the whole thing to crash.
