Finally get to check out Black Myth. Still won't buy it until it just doesn't have Denuvo at all, tho.
This crack sounds too scary to use. Impressive, but scary.
As usual for any DRM company or publisher, Irdeto also claimed that downloading games with the bypass is a security concern, but this time around, the company has a valid point.
Using the hypervisor bypass, even in its latest incarnation, requires users to... [install] a community-made hypervisor (HV) with Windows running on top of it. This HV fakes responses to the checks that Denuvo makes, and runs with higher permissions... than the operating system itself and has full, nearly untraceable access to hardware and software.
lol, get rekd, malware.
Suck my balls Denuvo
FuckDenuvo. Let's see to which lengths they'll go to block hypervisor.
Noice
There is 0 details on specifics of how Denuvo was broken. Article goes into detail why Denuvo is bad and not much more (which is also debatable because vast majority of Denuvo implementations do not cause performance impact).
A custom driver emulates the environment of an already activated token to the DRM. It's comparable to root hiding techniques on Android.
Every single aspect of DRM, whether it is denuvo or otherwise, is either neutral or negative for the end user.
Correct but irrelevant to what I’ve said, which is that the performance impact of Denuvo is usually minimal. There’s a couple of very bad cases that got a lot of publicity but there’s boatloads of Denuvo games running fine.
It’s cool Denuvo was cracked. It’ll be fixed eventually and the never ending game of cat and mouse continues.
It's not about performance for me. I'm not paying for a single player offline game that requires internet. I was around for the Spore DRM. That started with 3 activations and having to call EA for more. Even the current 5 activations per day is too restrictive, as I've heard changing proton version counts as an activation. If I don't own it (yes technically you don't steam games, but I think I could easily bypass steam protection and still play my games if it came down to it) I'm not buying it.
