For those unfamiliar with the game, Dishonored 2 is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Released in 2016, the game takes place in a steampunk world where players assume the role of Corvo Attano, a former bodyguard turned assassin. The game received widespread critical acclaim for its engaging gameplay, immersive storyline, and stunning visuals.

However, not all players have been satisfied with the game’s experience. A vocal subset of players, self-proclaimed as the “crybabies steampunks,” have been clamoring for changes to the game’s mechanics, graphics, and overall difficulty. These players claim that the game is too challenging, and that certain aspects of the gameplay are too punishing.

A crack-only update refers to a patch that is designed to be used in conjunction with cracked, or pirated, versions of the game. In other words, the update is only compatible with versions of the game that have been illegally obtained, rather than through legitimate means. This has led many to speculate that the update is an attempt to placate players who are unwilling or unable to purchase the game, but still want to experience the latest content.
