How To Make Your Steam Games DRM-Free. Here Are the steps in detail...

 

Many gamers are familiar with the digital gaming platform, Steam. It revolutionized the way we buy and play games by offering a vast library of titles and convenient access to them. However, many gamers have also expressed their frustration with the platform's use of Digital Rights Management (DRM) on their games. DRM can limit a game's availability, limit the number of devices a game can be played on, and restrict the user's ability to transfer or sell their games. Luckily, there are ways to make your Steam games DRM-free, providing you with more control over your purchased games. In this blog post, we will discuss the steps to make your Steam games DRM-free in detail.

Step 1: Understand What DRM is and Why It's Used on Steam Games
Before we delve into how to make your Steam games DRM-free, it's essential to understand what DRM is and why it's used on Steam games. DRM is a method used to protect digital content from being unlawfully copied and distributed. Steam uses DRM to prevent piracy and protect game developers' rights. However, many gamers find it inconvenient and restrictive, as it can limit their ability to freely transfer, sell, or even play their purchased games. This is why many gamers seek ways to make their Steam games DRM-free.

Step 2: Backup Your Steam Games
Making your Steam games DRM-free may involve tinkering with game files, so it's crucial to have a backup of your games before proceeding with the process. You can do this by navigating to your Steam folder and copying the folder titled 'Steamapps.' This folder contains all your game files and saved data. You can paste this folder onto an external drive or cloud storage to be safe.

Step 3: Download a No-DRM Crack
Many websites, such as GameCopyWorld and MegaGames, offer no-DRM cracks for popular Steam games. These cracks remove the DRM from the game and allow you to launch the game without Steam. Use torrents with caution, and make sure to scan the downloaded files for viruses before proceeding.

Step 4: Replace the Game's Executable File
Once you have downloaded the no-DRM crack, navigate to your game's installation folder (usually located in 'Steamapps/common' folder) and find the game's executable file. The executable file usually has the same name as the game with '.exe' at the end. Rename the original executable file to something else (ex: 'game-original.exe') and replace it with the downloaded no-DRM crack's executable file.

Step 5: Disable Steam Overlay
The Steam Overlay is a feature that allows gamers to access features such as messages and online multiplayer while playing a game through Steam. However, the Steam Overlay may interfere with your game's compatibility with the no-DRM crack. To avoid this, go to your Steam Library, right-click on the game, go to Properties, and uncheck the box next to 'Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.'

Step 6: Launch the Game
With the Steam Overlay disabled and the no-DRM crack in place, you can now launch the game through the new executable file. If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to play the game without Steam. Make sure to test it out and see if the game is functioning correctly.

Step 7: Keep the Game Updated Manually
One downside of making your Steam game DRM-free is that it will not receive automatic updates through Steam. To keep your game updated, you will have to check for updates manually on the game's official website or forum. Some no-DRM cracks also come with an update patch to help with this issue.

In conclusion, making your Steam games DRM-free can provide you with more control and flexibility over your purchased games. However, it's essential to note that removing DRM from games may be a violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement, and you do so at your own risk. We hope this guide has been helpful, and you can now enjoy your Steam games without the limitations of DRM. Happy gaming!
