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.

    Try lucky patcher to remove licence verification. It’s a very hit&miss tool; but when it works it does well.

      What would be a safe place where to download Lucky Patcher?

            Is it because it automatically slams you over to a scam website that tells me my system is heavily damaged by 2 viruses?

          I don’t think the link is legit. Lucky patcher is long gone. Better search on archives or some ru forums.

            The application from all versions link to there, that’s how I know it’s legit. Check info section of wherever you find the application from.

            But the site looks really sketchy I agree with you on that. Unbrowsable without adblock

          Yeah I’d like to try that but it looks real dodge. Like a generic scam site by someone who took a month of english lessons and then made the website because they were the only one who knew any english.
