| Aspect | Original Steam Version | Dodi Repack Portable | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | File Size | 15 GB | 4.9 GB (downloaded) / 15 GB (installed) | | DRM | Steam Stub + Denuvo (removed) | Cracked (bypass) | | Load Times | Normal | Slightly longer due to unpacking at runtime | | Portability | No (requires Steam) | Yes (copy to any PC) | | Multiplayer | Online (dead servers) | LAN only via Radmin VPN |

Note: The repack does not reduce the installed size; it only reduces the download. The final game is still 15GB on disk.

Fix: Download the latest DirectX runtime (June 2010) or copy the DLL from the _Redist\DirectX folder in the repack.
