Thanks for your comments. I'm not sure what it does, but to be it seems pretty
strange.
As a small note, the fake "plugin.dll" and "executeAPI" from the patch are
enough to get the game to run. Note that on windows, there is no plugin.dll
either - only that temporary DLL. Maybe a fallback when the temporary DLL can't
be loaded? It only seems need that ZwOpenFile patch when actually having a real
DLL called plugin.dll in the folder.

> from your comments it pretty much looks like standard application virtualization/sandboxing using native API hooking.

Mh, could be, ENIGMA is known to do that. I don't know how I would debug
something like that though - I hope'd it'd be simpler.

It's a bit difficult, since it's a paid game. However, I'd be willing to share
my account temporarily for debugging purposes, if that'd be ok. Just know that
the client is all Japanese and that you might need a VM to download, since the
client doesn't work too well on Wine.
