A whole bunch of PC video games suddenly became unplayable this past week, such as Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. But, it's an ongoing disaster, it appears. If that sounds like a recipe for disaster, well, yeah. In other words, Denuvo is a case study in real world DRM: no real protection from piracy, but plenty of headaches for paying customers. While all that was going on, plenty of paying customers of games protected by Denuvo complained about various issues: authentication issues intermittently preventing the customer from playing the game they bought, performance issues that are linked back to how Denuvo runs and behaves, or Denuvo simply breaking games.

As a result, plenty of publishers have taken to patching Denuvo out of their games, while Denuvo did a mini-pivot to create anti-cheat software for online games.

Once touted as " uncrackable", Denuvo went from there to becoming indeed crackable, then crackable shortly after release of games, to then being crackable the same day, to then being cracked in some cases hours after a game's release.
It remains to be seen how Denuvo will respond.It's been a while since we've mentioned Denuvo, the once-vaunted anti-piracy video game DRM that subsequently became an industry punchline. It was thought Denuvo might survive a little longer than it has but if someone really wants to crack a protection system then it’s likely going to happen at some point. What this means is that any crack would be specific to the hardware in a PC and they need to gather information from lots of different setups to try and create a complete working solution. “We would like to emphasize that we need to collect a variety of different purposes of computer hardware information, simply because Denuvo 64-bit encryption machine needs to detect a variety of hardware information on your computer” Although this has been seen as a breakthrough by anyone opposed to DRM, this hack is by no means complete because of the way this circumvention works which 3DM explained in a further post.
With Denuvo having been circumvented, cracks will start appearing for Lords of the Fallen and EA’s titles will be next on the pirates hit list, especially Dragon Age: Inquisition which appears to have been the motivation behind beating the Denuvo system. This then raised further concerns when it was rumoured that GTA V would also utilise the same DRM. The developers of Lords of the Fallen admitted there were performance issues when the game launched which were attributed to the Denuvo DRM system. “After 15 days of work, the 64bit version of Denuvo has been cracked, this hints at FIFA 15, DA:I, and Lords of the Fallen being ready for release in the near future.” 3DM has managed to crack the DRM after two weeks of working on it and a lenghty post on their site indicates it has not been easy:

These games have enjoyed a piracy free existence but it looks like that could all change. The Denuvo piracy protection system has been unravelled by hackers after two weeks of work.ĭenuvo is the latest piracy protection to hit the world of PC gaming and it’s done a reasonable job with games such as FIFA 15, Lords of the Fallen, and more recently Dragon Age: Inquisition.
