Noob Help! Already unlocked cards.

[shinigami3666]

First time poster, but I have been following this forum since I begun playing Dotp2013.
I hope this is the right thread to post this, and I have searched the forum but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Recently I started playing Dotp2014 but not much because as I started the game, all decks and all cards (30/30) are already unlocked. I know most people actually like this, but I enjoy unlocking the cards as I go along the campaign. Can someone help me, or point me on the right direction?
Thanks for any reply.

The same happened to me as well, but I don't care much since I seldom play with the official decks and when I do, I don't change them (my challenge is beating the campaign opponents without using any unlocked card, as far as I can go that way). I think it depends on the version of the game we are using and I don't know if there's a way to re-lock the cards. Maybe someone else who experimented more with unlocks can be more helpful.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Well, with Dotp2013, the Theta version fixed it, maybe I'll just have to wait since there's only the skidrow version out.

First time poster. I've been looking for the locked cards and decks in the skidrow release as well because I like a challenge to keep me playing the game.

From what I manage to trace using LumaEmu, I suspect the dotp.exe calls steam_api to check for the Special Edition DLCs using IsSubscribedApp() calls, instead of GetAppDLCStatus(). The skidrow patched steam_api returns good for IsSubscribedApp calls, so unlocking them all. Only GetAppDLC values are read from the INI file.

Now if only someone can customize another steam_api to return IsSubscribedApp() values from an INI file, as my coding skill isn't up to snuff.

For the time being I decide to spend time on the official steam version to enjoy the card/deck Unlocking and Achivements. Hope they make a better version next year.
