    Why would I do that? I have never done anything 'specifically' for CA.

    I am not working on a converter as that is easy to do (maybe time consuming, but easy enough), I am more interested in cracking the attributes encryption.

    I have never done any hacking before so I should learn a fair amount about it while trying. So far I have learned how to start the game directly through the engine.exe (skipping the web start and CA_direct.exe) and can tell it which IP to connect to (good for private servers). Unfortunately my VM doesn't passthrough d3d, so I can't run the actual game for further poking around (for now hopefully).
