Reduce Game Launch Time (with Linux Support)

This guide will help you reduce the launch time of your game by removing its DRM.
On my computer, the launch time decreased from ~1 minute to just 10 seconds.

If you are on Linux, <redacted>, which can be added by using wine:

Note: Commands prefixed with $ indicate user commands, while those prefixed with # indicate root commands (run with sudo). All commands can be run as regular user here.

• Create a file named test.reg with the following content, modify YOUR_USERNAME to well, your username (which can be obtained by running whoami if you don't know what that is):
  

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 2248120]
  "InstallLocation"="Z:\\home\\YOUR_USERNAME\\.steam\\steam\\steamapps\\common\\Light and Shadow-Doppelganger"
  

  
  
• Export the game's wine prefix, which is by default the following:
  

  $ export WINEPREFIX=/home/$(whoami)/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2248120

  
  
• Import the registry with:
  

  $ wine regedit

  Select Registry > Import Registry File... on the top left of the window and select the test.reg file.

Removing the DRM

The game uses Enigma Virtual Box as its DRM.

Windows users can download the unpack tool here[github.com].

• Place evbunpack.exe into the game folder.
  
• Hold Shift + Right Click on blank space in File Explorer, select Open PowerShell/command window here.
  
• Run the following command:
  

  .\evbunpack.exe .\game.exe .\extracted

Linux users require python. Run the following commands in the game folder:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
$ pip install evbunpack
$ evbunpack ./game.exe ./extracted

You should now have DRM-free files in the extracted folder.

Move everything in the extracted folder to the game folder, confirming any override prompts.
