Here's what the patch code looks like as Assembly instructions:
  Original code BEFORE applying the patch:

     :00402D61 FF1530744000       Call dword ptr [00407430]
     :00402D67 83F806             cmp eax, 00000006
     :00402D6A 0F85A9000000       jne 00402E19

  The same area (byte locations) AFTER applying the patch:
