F1 2018 file game.dat

Post by Kapranov »

Hello! Codemasters released F1 2018. The localization files, apparently, are packed into game.dat. Can you help with the unpacking of the file?

Use the following script on that game.dat and upload the 2 files it generates:

It's all encrypted.
I already tried using some scripts for the Codemasters encrypted files (didn't check if this 2018 is made by them) but it's not the same.
Without the encryption algorithm and key you can do nothing.

And in EXE you can find encryption and a key?

You can upload the executable in case someone wants to work on it.
Personally I can't work on that.

OK, EXE: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/9HA5/xbYx3VjNN
If anyone has the opportunity, please see what type of encryption and key are used to package game.dat. Thank you ;)
