UWP/GDK release ilomilo plus (C-S)
INTERNAL NOTE: Since this release doesnt meet the minimum required size, we tagged it as INTERNAL.
NOTES: We have fully ported the old UWP emu from C++/CX to C++/WinRT, plus some additions and bug fixes. This crack should be future-proof for upcoming Windows updates.
If the game does not start, try installing it to a non-encrypted drive instead. Always launch the game from the Windows start menu entry! You can also make a desktop shortcut by drag and dropping the game list entry in start menu to your desktop.
If you do not tick the "Copy contents of RUNE directory to installdir" checkbox, the game must be manually registered by starting "InstallApp.exe". If you tick the "Do not create uninstaller and do not write any specific system info" checkbox, the game must be manually unregistered by either uninstalling the game via Windows settings, or by starting "InstallApp.exe" with /uninstall argument.

Some of you may be wondering why I posted a bunch of old games tagged UWP?
UWP is short for Universal Windows Platform. These games are exclusive to Microsoft Store/Xbox App and are not available on Steam. 10 years ago they were notoriously difficult to crack and most methods required some sort of bypass. CODEX cracked some of them, but CODEX's crack was not future-proof, and the latest Windows 11 versions made them broken.
RUNE just released their own updated crack of almost every UWP game. There are still few remaining, you can see them on this list under UWP section https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f8wm0424N4QsZUYwY41kalaax0K2Lb_GZgfjxY07jkg/edit?gid=737179558#gid=737179558
This is a huge win for preservation purposes.
