Pro Evolution Soccer 2020/Installation

Converting PES20 LITE

As it turns out, you can just download eFootball PES2020 LITE from Steam and have it unlock the full game using the full .exe and some bypass fuckery. Here's how.

Step 1. Installing the game

Download the LITE game from Steam. Let it install.

Step 2. Replacing the executable

Download the full game .exe and CreamAPI (pw: cs.rin.ru), and unzip it over your PES2020 LITE folder. It should be on (wherever you keep your steam library)\steamapps\common\eFootball PES 2020.

Boot up the game. You should get the full game instead of LITE, and you can stop now if you so choose. Do note that you're using CreamAPI (usually used to pirate DLCs), so if you're paranoid about getting your Steam account banned, or are annoyed by the barrage of advertisements and want the game to work offline, close the game and move on to step 3.

Step 3. Decoupling the game from Steam

At this point, a Denuvo activation ticket should have been created at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[your SteamID3]\996470. Check that at least one file is in that folder, so the game will think it's still activated.

Download the Goldberg steam emu we're gonna use to make the game work offline. Extract the folder on PES20's main folder as you did for the full .exe.

Browse to %APPDATA% (or C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming), and create a folder tree like so: Goldberg SteamEmu Saves\996470\settings.

Inside the settings folder, create a text file, named user_steam_id.txt. This text file should contain the STEAM64 ID you used to activate the game in step 2.

You can look up your STEAM64 ID here, by either looking your account up by steam ID, custom URL or even logging in.

Boot up the game again, this time straight from the .exe. If it boots, and it thinks it's offline, congrats: you've successfully bypassed Denuvo and have a full PES2020 copy.
