So, this may be a silly question but I tend to be a curious person who reverse engineers lots of things. I'm also a software dev, so it goes with the territory.
I've been playing RS2014 since Jan 2014, and CDLC since August 2014. I know that we have to patch RS2014, either through the DX library or using a custom launcher. Here's what I want to know: what does the patch actually do?
Don't tell me that it allows CDLC to load properly -- I know that's the effect of the patch. What I want to know is, what normally keeps CDLC from loading without the patch? Where's the documentation on what we discovered about why we need a patch?
I figured it was probably on Smithy Anvil before it went down, and figured it'd be a good idea to ask in case anyone knows, in case we ever need to revisit the topic in the future.
I searched the forums for a while and didn't come across an article about this, so my apologies if it's here and I just didn't see it.
