  FuckDenuvo. Let’s see to which lengths they’ll go to block hypervisor.

  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.

  Finally get to check out Black Myth. Still won’t buy it until it just doesn’t have Denuvo at all, tho.

  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.

      Thank you, I found it - just commenting on how entirely unhelpful this article was.

    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.
