:
You'll have the same issue as my hook dll for Exoddus, it will only work with ONE version of the game. Each version of the game will have different offsets etc and the steam version is protected/packed.
Do you mean a patcher couldn't work because each version of game has different offsets for each string? Or that translating the strings in the .exe wouldn't work because the game uses hardcoded offsets to insert them?

If the former, couldn't the patcher use search/replace?
