Cannot backup vanilla DVD ME2 install, says Engine.pcc is modified #378

I installed ME2 from retail DVDs. Then I installed all DLCs from EA website and 1.03 patch from https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1438-mass-effect-2-patch-103/

The game runs just fine.

When I try to do backup via Mod Manager I'm getting the error about file not being vanilla: BioGame\CookedPC\Engine.pcc

This is from log:

When I check SHA-256 and MD5 of Engine.pcc on both DVD (file data\other.rar\BioGame\CookedPC) and on HDD I'm getting the same results:

SHA-256: 7c887ae4e819f08292fbe49adb68a4cf5e8b425ec3990dc2ddccfcd61fbeca35 MD5: d70a7b02725b2f812e3df6faee5f97b1

Either my DVD is damaged or ME3TweaksCore.Assets.VanillaDatabase.me2.bin does not have valid signature.

ME3Tweaks Mod Manager is version 8.2.129

On Discord I was asked to post Engine.pcc, so I'm posting it here. Engine.zip

Also, someone asked what is the version of my DVD. Mine is 1st from the list: https://www.mobygames.com/game/44900/mass-effect-2/releases/windows/ the one with UPC 014633159813 (that's also written on the back cover of DVD case).

This should be fixed in the current beta build release.
