is there any way to know if FiGHTCLUB's exe is newer than FLT's as they claim?

If you'd unpack it and compare the assembly side-by-side, sure... Other than that, you're bound to comparing the version indicated in the resource manifest - and that's v1.03 for both.
However, I doubt that the executable is any newer than the Steam one; the publisher actively supports Steam after all. It would be very strange if they had uploaded an old executable to it. That being said, my (packed) Steam executable is 4.19MiB, FLT's cracked binary is 3.85MiB. Either way, using the Steam executable with Flawless Widescreen should result in the latest version with proper graphics. For me at least, this combination works very well and aside from a few known bugs (like controls suddenly stopping to work, which is somehow mitigated by turning V-sync on) I haven't faced any issues with it - on Windows 8, that is.

how may i unpack the exe? (sorry for newbie question, i am a pure noob when it comes to these )

-.- I was implying by the way I said this that it's nothing you could do... Even if somebody was to unpack the executables and compare them, that'd be a lot of work for something pretty irrelevant. Consider this: If such an in-depth analysis wasn't a major hassle, these "FiGHTCLUB" folks would have been able to verify their claims rather easily, no?

Just use the goddamn Steam binary or what else not. Either version has its issues with AMD drivers, thus I don't see why this even matters.

yeh,i found the FLT crack to be good ,too.

@JH_EP and DAFFY
