Help not patching v21

[rineru]

[ERROR] failed to patch resolve: Unable to backup Resolve.exe. replaced main.rs with bitconmaker1's main.rs

right click on the patch and run as admin

i fixed this by removing the code that is used to backup resolve.exe and it patches no problem, and ive recommended this to 3 other people and it fixed patching for them aswell.
alr it does remove a way to backup davinci to a normal state but no one that ive met has yet ever needed to do it and even knew that it creates the backup file

the bit of code i am refering to

let Ok(_) = std::fs::copy(resolve_path, &format!("{resolve_path}.bak")) else {
        Err(PatchError::BackupFailed)?
};

@itsmateo20 does removing that part of the code still works? I tried removing that line and the line where it says "Writefailed", and the patching worked. It says successfully patched after running the cargo run command in cmd. Though when I opened davinci resolve studio, the app is still not unlocked, it still asks for a valid license key. Is this method already a bust?

@koji133 same here man... maybe it's already a bust

@koji133 @rineru im guessing you guys installed the updated v21 because i have the v21 with no further updates so idk

just uninstall the version you got now and install v21 from the davinci support page where they have all versions listed

Yep, it's still not working for me. I tried downgrading to exactly davinci resolve studio 21, still nothing. Can you perhaps send me the main.rs file you used? I already tried bitcoinmaker1's custom main.rs and removed the code where it backups davinci's normal state..

you have to run the patch when davinci is fully killed, and also my main.rs file is the same except in my i changed the default path to the custom path i have installed davinci to

[itsmateo20]

if that doesn't fix it then it has to be somehow "fixed" they done changed up the v21 version install or smth and will be needed a new patch file that is something like @bitcoinmaker1

[koji133]

I guess so, they might have done some counter measure for people who are just patching the app. I'll just have to wait for someone to make a new patch then 'cause I have no choice

well you could still try the linux version because its "easier" to patch there but harder to get the audio working (well atleast i had those issues), or just use the free version of davinci one of the big downers on the free version is that you just cant export in 4k/8k but you can still export in UHD (or just HD i dont remember)
