The Denuvo DRM Thread

[Rean]

You are confusing seeing reaction on shite as shite itself. Classic mistake. You will grow out of it one day though, don't worry

 

[ADL]

12% performance loss in the release (Denuvo) version compared to the leaked build from October lol
lmao even

Yes, we have planned the implementation of a DRM system. Now it is still difficult to say whether this will affect performance or not, but we do not forget about the presence of DLSS - a technology that gives a strong fps boost, which in any case will win back the losses, if any.

That certainly aged well.

Seems like the Dev build is plagued with bugs. The mechafridge/upgrade station that likes hardcore S&M tentacle fun became stuck after the first interaction and I can no longer upgrade. Also some short off overload bug? Uninstalled, and will wait for a better repack.

It's funny how current state of The Scene reflects current state of the gaming scene or even the society in general.

Should be less funny for an oldfag who remembers epic C64 cracktros and leeching shit off IRC, but what can I say - it's still entertainment, just coming less from the medium itself and more from the retards currently connected to it.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

scene? what scene? there's no competition anymore, scene died at least a decade ago.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

the profits from the other side are too good to pass, similar to what happened to alot of hackers entering the corporate and government world back in late/early 90/2000.

EMPRESS is p2p not scene though, they don't follow scene rules and don't pre on topsites.

scene? what scene? there's no competition anymore, scene died at least a decade ago.

The scene is still active but don't really bother with denuvo anymore, likely due to the process being time-consuming menial work that isn't conducive to the race. Denuvo being the preeminent drm does though indeed mean there is no longer the case where you're waiting for the game to be cracked by the fastest group, and are fine with a p2p or homerip copy instead.
That said, I heartily wish for all those involved in developing, marketing and contracting denuvo to drop dead as soon as possible.

It boggles my mind that the mastermind cracking denuvo left and right is a young lady that is only 22.

In fact, she was 22 3 years ago too!

Maybe it's Lilura.

Would explain a thing or two about the general insanity.

 

[lightbane]

Not sure where to ask: has the WH40K Daemonhunters game been cracked? In theory not yet, but skidrow supposedly has a crack I haven't tried due looking sketchy (it requires you to do some weird shit to get a password for the crack).
Has someone tried?
Asking for a friend. I am not promoting piracy or anything, totes.

Check with a scene release database site like this if you're not sure, or better yet tell your friend to stop sourcing his games from obvious phishing sites.

It's Bots vs Bots In The Latest Anti-Cheat System Unveiled By Irdeto, "Denuvo Unbotify"​

Unleashing AI to take out bot cheaters.​

Cheaters and bot users are the banes of online gaming, decreasing the fun for players and hurting profits for game developers. Digital platform cybersecurity company Irdeto has come up with another solution for dealing with bots... by unleashing AI on them.
The new bot detection system is known as Denuvo Unbotify, and it claims to do what it says on the tin, track down players using bots with 99.8% accuracy by monitoring "all the interactions with the game through many elements, like the number of clicks, how fast the clicks happen and where they are taking place on the screen, the angle of the touch and if the phone is moving at all."
According to the company's press release, free-to-play PC games are worth an estimated $22.7 billion, and Denuvo Unbotify looks to protect those numbers by tracking down bot users who use AI to circumvent a game's mechanics. Unbotify claims to have discovered that 5 to 15% of players use bots to gain an advantage, with 50% of players saying they have used bots at some point and time.
“The use of bots ruins the experience for legitimate players, but more importantly it also ruins the business model of publishers,” said Steeve Huin, Chief Operating Officer of Video Games at Irdeto. “Denuvo Unbotify offers a pioneering approach to bot detection, using an AI to analyze behavioral biometrics and catch bots with maximum accuracy. It is a cool addition to our award-winning portfolio of gaming cybersecurity solutions and one that I am sure our clients will find tremendously beneficial”.
Unbotify can be applied to mobile games, consoles, PC, and Web in free-to-play and premium games.
Maybe the world of gaming will be a little more fun for a while... until the system is inevitably cracked and ways around it are found. The growth rate of cheats always seems to far surpass that of anti-cheat technology.

Soon we will have denuvo in the base game, denuvo on the dlcs/mtx, denuvo anticheat and denuvo antibot all layered ontop of the same game. JFC

 

[Modron]

Don't worry modern gamer, cloud anticheat software will upload everything you're doing at any given moment to make sure you're not cheating and governments won't be looking at this data certainly not. Tencent's cloud Anti-Cheat Expert purportedly anti-cheat/drm solution already does this.

As much as denuvo sucks it's amazing ACE is barely talked about/not forced to be disclosed on steam store pages as it is far more insidious key logger/data miner.

Denuvo while trying to make developers worry about emulation:

(It's hilarious, they even have a link to yuzu's patreon, you can't make this shit up.)

 

[Tacgnol]

Denuvo really enjoying the moustache twirling villain role.

I hear their next brilliant business move will involve tying a bunch of puppies to the railway line.

 

[karoliner]

The absolute state of Square Enix.

[mediocrepoet]

It had previously been discovered that Denuvo was affecting the game's performance.

They must've had their crack engineers working on that one. Or did they finally read the memo the janitor wrote on a napkin at lunch?
