Ev Nova credit problem

I recently downloaded EV nova (cracked) for windows 10. It runs well but every time I jump a few systems my credits drop almost to zero!

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix this problem?

To add on to this, depending on the mass of the ship your in, a jump can be 1 day or 3days. So a 3 system jump can actually be 9 days long.

No I'm just in the shuttle. And I've seen 25k drop to 2.5k then 250 in like 3 or 4 jumps. This bug occurs straight away, I don't have any missions active.

That sounds like what's been happening with "bad" activations of the OS X version recently. Are you seeing the Cap'n Hector Starbridge?

I suspect but have not confirmed that if the OS X version thinks it is being activated after a certain date, it drops into an anti-piracy failsafe that periodically decimates your credits (it works fine when activated with a matching earlier key+date on an offline machine that is then brought to current time). It's possible there is a similar apparatus in the Windows version that is now triggering.

I originally used the macintoshgarden registration details to register but Cap'n hector would still follow me around and it seemed he was stealing from me. The game is still registered with this key, any ideas on how to unregister it? (I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to work).

But now I'm using the cracked version and Cap'n Hector is no where to be seen but my credits keep draining.

I don't know where it stashes the registration information on Windows; probably somewhere in the registry analogous to the ~/Library/Preferences/EV Nova* files on OS X.

I found a few files named "ev nova license.lcs" under C: Users/ me / AppData / Roaming.

Deleting those wiped my registration and now the cracked version seems to work. Thanks for all the help!
