This spells serious trouble in all-caps for Irdeto, as now there's a two-prong attack against Denuvo. The company predictably already promised upgrades to its software, all while running the game at the standard user-space operating system layer. The DRM developers have to get really creative now, and as the saying goes, may the odds ever be in their favor.

alrighty_then The fact the cracked version won't require an internet connection and perfroms better is really a death blow. It did take a long while to crack Denuvo, to their credit. Reply
Trake_17 Why not just ask Claude to write you a new game that doesn't have Denuvo. Aren't we, like, a month from that along with world ending AI that can crack everyone's bank accounts and corrupt every OS? So suggest the latest news of "Mythos". What a world. It's back to barter and farming for us all. Denuvo is the least of our concerns. Reply
Joomsy Since it wasn't mentioned in the article, another benefit of voices38's work is that their releases work under Proton on Linux. This is a first for Denuvo cracks, as even EMPRESS releases won't run. The HV method also doesn't work since it relies on technologies specific to Windows, however, there are talks of it someday being adapted to KVM in order to attain Linux compatibility. It's just anybody's guess as to when that'll happen. Reply
ejolson I'm not a legal expert, but it seems to me patching a binary for compatibility with Linux and better performance is different than if piracy were the intention. Reply
hotaru251 critical info is: it wasnt the same version. they were different builds of denuvo so not a 100% appels to apples but was good comparison & damns the denvuo "doesnt impact performance" claim. Reply
TerryLaze ejolson said: I'm not a legal expert, but it seems to me patching a binary for compatibility with Linux and better performance is different than if piracy were the intention. Legally it's not, any circumvention for any reason at all is the same amount of illegal. Just watch louis rossmann on youtube. Back when games still came on physical media you had the right to make a 100% copy including all of the protection, as an backup only for yourself, that was fine. Reply
