How to install patches, keygens, license keys?

Unfortunately, the acquisition of licensed software and official copies of computer games is typical for the West - in the Russian-speaking countries the percentage of purchased software is extremely low, it is unlikely to reach ten percent. Almost all use pirated versions, which can not always be easily obtained, and they often have problems with launching. In most cases, in order to run a game for which you did not pay, but chose to download from torrents, you will have to break it or patch it. You can do this in many ways. It is about them that will be discussed later. But before you figure out how to install patches, you should understand what it is all about.

The concept of "patch"

So, you downloaded the program or game from the torrent, but what do you do with it? When you run it, it requires you to either have a license key, or insert an official disc. Maybe it will not start at all and give out some mistake. Here you have only one way out - to patch the game so that it runs regardless of how you got it. And for this you will need a patch. This is a program that makes up for the shortcomings of software or computer games seen during use. But also pirate patches allow you to run those games that were downloaded for free. This word comes from the English patch and translates as "patch". Thus, everything falls into place: the patch is a patch that closes holes in the game and allows you to enjoy the gameplay. But how to install patches? This question excites many gamers, so you need to talk about it separately.

Instructions

More often than not, people are beginning to wonder how to install patches, without even bothering to think independently of this issue. But in many games there is a text file, which contains detailed instructions. When you download a project from the torrent, be sure to review what is included in it. And if there is a text file there, be sure to read it, it probably contains instructions for installing the patch. You will only need to follow through with the points that are written there, and you will be able to play without any problems. However, this is not the only answer to the question of how to install patches, - there are different ways to hack the game, and you should also get acquainted with others.

License key

Many users are trying to learn how to install the patch on "Stalker" so that the free version works without problems. However, this can not be done - the patches for this game are exclusively official, and they only correct the flaws in the game - these programs will be discussed a little later. What to do if there is no special software that could make a pirated version available to you? In this case, you will be helped by a license code, which the game can require at startup. Most often, this code is printed either on the license disk itself, which you buy, or it is put in the box with this disk, and it can be sent to e-mail if you purchase a digital version of the game. But you did not buy anything, where do you get this code from? The first option - in the text file, which was discussed earlier, it can be stored there, and the instructions will say at which stage and where to enter it. However, it is possible that there will not be a specific code, but there will be a special program called "keygen". It generates license keys by a special algorithm - you just need to run it and copy the result, which will be generated in a few seconds. You just have to enter it when you start the game. But this option does not help you in those games where you need, for example, a license disk in the drive. And then there are questions about how to install the patch "FIFA 14" and so on. This option is also worth considering.

Official patches

If you are interested in the question of how to install the patch FIFA 14, which will add Russian comments, fix the departures from the game or update the players base, then you need an official patch. It is released by the game developers themselves after some time after the release. After receiving the feedback from the players, developers fix all the flaws and release a patch, available for free download. You install it and play the best version of the project. However, this is not the patch that you need to run an unlicensed game.

Pirate Patch or Crack

Another version of the patch does not repair the game, but breaks it. Such patches are called crack. You need to place this file in the folder with the game and run it, after which it will unpack the necessary files into the folder and replace them with existing ones. After that, there will be no problems with the launch - you can safely play the pirated version of any project. Sometimes crackles are not automatic and represent only a set of files that you need to copy to the folder with the game with the replacement of existing ones.
