Putting anti cheats in single player games should be illegal.
But Denuvo is DRM software to prevent privacy, is not an anti-cheat :?
DRM should be illegal. If we have devices that can copy information instantly, it’s not our fault that it’s incompatible with capitalism - seems like capitalism is incompatible with nature. Find a new business model.
Find a new business model
They did, running everything on their machines and charging us monthly to use it.
still sounds like capitalism to me
The new business model is cloud subscription gaming. You sure you want to argue for that?
They have more than one product. They provide anti-cheat as well as anti-tamper
It’s both actually. They offer both anti cheat and anti tamper protection!
It may have other nefarious uses but it is primarily anti-cheat software.
… No, Denuvo is “anti-tamper” software, meaning DRM primarily with anti-cheat as a bonus.
According to their own site it is both apparently. Either way it is used for both purposes, and for single player that makes no sense.
But one of the 2 uses does make sense for single player games.
Really? It constrains or prevents modding, which is a core part of PC gaming.
Copy protection for single player games is essentially pointless. Even GTA V let’s you do what you want in single player mode because it is offline.
The only reason they might want anti tamper is to support in game purchases, which is equally senseless for single player games.
It’s an antipiracy measure, not anti modding. Have you never heard of denuvo before?
I’m still not basically disabling most of my PC’s security to play pirated games though.
switch to Linux or dual boot?
Hypervisor bypass doesn’t work on Linux. Gotta be on Windows if you want to use it.
Is this actually true? I didn’t hear anyone talking about this until now.
Wine is user space, hypervisor is at least kernel level. Cannot install windows hypervisor in wine.
yup. Does not work on Linux.
It’s even in the FAQs of piracy forums. It’s awesome how far Linux gaming has come!

How effectively does that work? Can you spoof the Ring -1 permissions? Maybe I should set up single-GPU passthrough.
I dont know what i was suggesting. Bypass (as others have said) only works in W
Why crimson desert on list 5 time?
Edit: also NBA 2K26 and SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance 2 time.
Sorry my bad…It was a bit of a manual job and I did not check it properly.
Are any left? Or just list of game infected with denuvo?
Get fucked Atlus. I’m not sure I have an appetite to load windows to use these but I’d have bought every game by Atlus on release like I did up until I decided I’d rather skip the ps5 and stick with PC but instead I’ve bought one of them (persona 4 ultimax which I didn’t realize had it until now)
Anyone have luck running these on linux? I tried the Crimson Desert one but Bottles couldn’t handle the install and I didn’t bother to try harder
Edit: nevermind, saw another comment saying these cracks are a no go on linux
I don’t get it; aren’t a lot of those single player? Why would single player games have anti-cheat protection?
Do these hypervisor bypasses work if I were to say, run the cracks under WINE or Proton? I have been waiting a long time for X Shadow Generations to either be actually playable on switch emulator without major bugs/glitches that kill it or an actual PC crack!
Edit:
Looks like I gotta wait until I get a more powerful desktop so that way I can plug in my old win10 hard drive to run this bypass. Sad days! Windows is why Linux can’t have nice things! Screw you macrohard!
Sonic Origins had Denuvo? Brother, they are fucking Genesis games. Anyone can play them on some Genesis emulator right now, or get the Christian Whitehead’s remasters in case of 1, 2 and CD. What the were they thinking?
