Naughty Dog didn’t just push the PlayStation 4 to its limits; they politely asked the hardware to run a marathon while solving a Rubik's cube. From the mud that dynamically clings to Drake’s sleeves to the wind-blown foliage of King’s Bay, the game is a texture lover’s dream.
For those of us who later experienced the PC port (via our usual channels), the fidelity is staggering:
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the authentic game, is about a man trying to escape his past—the lies, the heists, the ghosts of promises broken. In a strange, unintended way, the R.G. Mechanics release of 2015 mirrors that theme. It was a digital ghost, a promise of a release that ended before it began. No crack, no real game, just an installer and a question mark.
Today, if you manage to find a surviving mirror of -R.G.Mechanics-.Uncharted.4.-A.Thiefs.End-.-2015- and run the setup.exe, you’ll likely get nothing but an error: “Could not locate proper DirectX 11 device.” But for a moment—clicking that .exe, watching the installer extract files into a folder named “U4_REPACK” — you might feel what thousands of PC gamers felt in late 2015: the thrill of almost. -R.G.Mechanics-.Uncharted.4.-A.Thiefs.End-.-2015-
And sometimes, almost is enough to make a legend.
End of feature.
It’s worth noting that, as of 2025:
R.G. Mechanics, for their part, have largely faded from prominence. Many original members moved to other groups (FitGirl, DODI, Xatab) or left the scene entirely. But their name is permanently attached to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in the collective memory of early 2010s piracy.
When Uncharted 4 finally leaked or was ripped (usually from a PS4 disc or digital files via a jailbroken console), raw file sizes were astronomical. The base game without updates was nearly 48 GB. But the R.G. Mechanics release, tagged with the signature double-hyphens, did something remarkable.
If you were an avid PC gamer during the mid-2010s, wandering the digital corridors of torrent sites and file-sharing forums, you likely encountered a distinct, bold red logo. It belonged to R.G. Mechanics, one of the most prominent "repack" groups in the warez scene. Naughty Dog didn’t just push the PlayStation 4
Among their most famous—and controversial—releases was the entry found under the filename: -R.G.Mechanics-.Uncharted.4.-A.Thiefs.End-.-2015-.
For those unfamiliar with the history of this specific file, here is an informative look at what this release was, why the date in the filename raises eyebrows, and the legacy of the group behind it.
The file -R.G.Mechanics-.Uncharted.4.-A.Thiefs.End-.-2015- serves as a digital time capsule. It represents a specific era of PC gaming culture: an era of exclusivity wars, the desperation of PC gamers for console titles, and the wild west of file sharing. End of feature
While Uncharted 4 is finally available on PC today through legitimate channels, the R.G. Mechanics entry remains a part of gaming folklore—a reminder of the years we spent waiting for Nathan Drake’s final adventure to reach our keyboards.
Some Bluetooth devices have coarse volume implementations (see picture above). The coarse hardware volume defeats volumeCTRL’s fine software volume setting and prevents performance from behaving optimally! This makes it appear as if volumeCTRL does not work!
