It doesn't *cure* the problem, because
the real problem is an exepack's bugs

Can we agree, that there are cases, in which loadfix will work?
Sure, but it is not the real fix. It can work around the "packed file corrupt" problem, but I am just wondering why people prefer that "solution", if unpacking exe is a permanent fix, i.e. you will have to do that only once, you will not be affected by another exepack bugs etc.

That cured the problem with the 'corrupte file' and was the only way, to use that game.
