I paid for Puzzle Quest 2 on android like a decade+ ago. It is a local single-player game. It has a validation check when you open the app. That check fails because this game is ancient and the servers are offline.

I want to replay the game I paid for. I have the APK from an APK site. It’s even been pulled from steam to push their crappy p2w pq3. Anyone have tricks to crank an APK and bypass a server check? I’ve decompiled the APK but am in a bit over my head.

    Idk about the mobile release but wasn’t roller coaster tycoon written mostly by hand in assembly? I’m probably wrong but I feel like that could be why, not arbitrary for that game lol

      Yeah unfortunately RCT on modern systems is only playable if you have the original discs or if you have RCT2 you can get the OpenRCT2 mod for it to work on 64 bit systems. Not sure what one might be able to do on android to get it working.
