2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

You mean like every single other game that has the resource chugging always-on home-phoning DRM stripped out?

It'd be more surprising if it DIDN'T run better.

I'm shocked, shocked! Well, not that shocked.

I’m shocked, shocked!

Basically Dual Shocked.

Yes, DRM is terrible for performance

[–] mohab@piefed.social 16 points 3 days ago

Man, fuck Sony. They won't do it, but I hope ASW have the balls to throw them under the bus when questioned over this. I'll even take a rogue dev.

Take a developer who's known for making some of the best PC ports in the genre and spit out this shit. Fucking morons.

For its implementation, generally Denuvo asks devs to call their check function somewhere in the core gameplay loop. From what I gather, many times this has happened, it’s been because the devs picked a function that’s happening much more than the check really needs.

That said, perhaps I’m to be proven wrong; but that often depends on a close look at the source code.

Sony/PSN ≢Denuvo.

I almost wish I had literally any issue with the game, but it runs flawlessly for me, and it's genuinely a great fighter. I hope they can sort this shit out, because I want more people to play with.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hopefully someone can reimplement online to the cracked version.

Forever fuck Sony for screwing PC players.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Too much work to do that, so very unlikely to happen. Our best bet is pressure on Sony forces them to remove DRM. ASW have to do what's right and stand up for their reputation and customer base here. They're the sole developers on this and RN they look really bad.

Sony won't give a fuck because their priority is PlayStation, but ASW have always had a sizable, PC only community they're currently letting down and eroding their trust. They need to push for meaningful action.

PlayStation multiplayer games suffer when there's no one to play with, so there's a chance.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Good performance isn't necessarily an "issue" in the sense of something that would be reported. It's an issue in the sense of stuff being left on the table for the sake of greed.
