GOLD Edition Denuvo

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Will the upcoming GOLD Edition have Denuvo? The original has been playable by non-purchasers for over a year now so I'm wondering if they're gonna make the same mistake and DESTROY performance on the GOLD edition as they did with the original? The paid version was CONFIRMED to run significantly worse than the pirated version so this is important.

problem is the cracked version was actually missing animations in order to make it "run better"

and right now the denuvo version works better than the so called cracked version.
it doesn't matter if it was playable if its a significantly worse experience.

LMFAO that's what you got out of that video? ALL the comments are literally about how it runs better and has no invasive software, pirates are getting the better experience while paying customers yet again get shafted

[[-iD-]]

who cares about the comments the video clearly shows missing animations.

[Leeroy Jenkins]

there are literally dozens of videos from respected outlets showing that the pirated version functions SIGNIFICANTLY better than the paying customer version, this was a huge scandal not long ago, and if they keep denuvo for the GOLD edition it will be this nonsense all over again, same goes for Resident Evil 4 Remake which will most likely get cracked within a week like RE2 Remake was, with pirates yet again getting a superior product to us. It's not right and Denuvo should stop being implemented in these games

i just don;t care dude. i have the game and know exactly how it performs at this moment, and at this moment it has all its animations and performs the best.

Oh shut up with these absolutely brain dead half questions. "Will Capcom support the cracked version of the game with the latest content they're releasing?!?!" Yes I love a good non-question, of course they wont, and if you want attention why don't you just say it rather than pretending you've thought of a good thread.

Also to the droolers that actually looked at that video and thought it had any sort of credibility when the video itself shows two different driver versions, the launch day steam release of RE8, vs a crack 2 months later, like seriously? Does anyone need to explain the issue with that? The video itself knows exactly what it's doing because it gives all the information, yet it's still posted to attract denuvo drones.

The fact that the video was posted as if it meant anything is laughable, and the fact that OP took the credibility of anyone in the comments section that clearly didn't pick up on the massive version difference is also laughable. Someone even commented on the video about the driver discrepancy, so the OP posted a reply with a new video recorded with the same version, and they perform the same, with the exception of the grab animation tanking the fps on the steam release...yet the animation is broken on the Empress version so there's no way to lose FPS from the grab. Yet, it's a flawed test anyway because the video footage isn't the same between the comparisons as he gets grabbed and tossed, so you actually start to see the steam version pull ahead in the mid 70s while the cracked version is still mid 60s. Hilarious, honestly.

This topic was covered by DF, yes there were stutters and issues caused by certain animation sequences not present in the cracked version (because they didn't work...) or in a modded version of RE8, and they were fixed for the legit version a long time ago. Stop trying to bring up dead drama, or if you're trying to bring this up again because you haven't paid for the game you're everything that's wrong with PC gaming that only reinforces these practices.

The funny part here is that issues in the original cracked version weren't even caused by Denuvo but Capcom's own ♥♥♥♥♥♥ anti-tamper. The whiner drones still blamed Denuvo for it because they didn't know better and when someone who knew better told them the real cause, they didn't listen.

They never have, it's never been a logical discussion with any of them. So many of them don't have the balls to just own up and say yeah, I pirate games, but instead have to play mental gymnastics to justify it to themselves and others when they would be pirating either way. The ones that don't pirate but are vocal about it are mainly come from these autistic pc gaming sub groups where they become overly obsessive about things that they think matter.

Ever since those original videos came out on youtube of someone poorly testing 2 or 3 games with and without denuvo and checking performance, people have assumed that denuvo absolutely must be the cause of any performance issue in a game that has it, and that it's

CONFIRMED

that it's the root cause. Videos came out later showing that many games don't have this behaviour, some games performed better with Denuvo, that the implementation is widely different, and people don't even realise Denuvo isn't even an anti-tamper by itself and actually just handles verification next to another anti-piracy routine, like SteamWorks.

Just take OP for example. Talks like he's on 4chan, has a post history going across several denuvo games, admitted he was going to pirate village when it first came out justifying that he was in the right because there was no FOV slider and denuvo, knew when RE7 was cracked and was waiting for RE8. Yet still here he is a year later, worried that his cracked version won't have access to the latest stuff and has to hide behind...well, whatever this is. I wish the PC gaming communities were just a little bit smarter so we don't have to suffer the same nonsense over and over again.

Sadly it's not even worth the response, his reply was as scripted as the rest of them. It's cookie cutter to the max, they have no original thoughts and just parrot each other. There are like 3 things he would have said, either we work for Denuvo, we're a shill for Denuvo, or it doesn't matter what you say, it's anti-consumerism so I hate it.

I don't even think there's such a thing as a Denuvo defender, and there's certainly no us vs them going on right here. It's simply being informed vs not informed, and people trying to fit into a crowd or skirt around not wanting to pay for things. His first reaction to a (really bad) video comparing frame rates between Denuvo vs paid was to scroll down to the comments section, ignore any information about the video, and find people that said what he wanted to read to reinforce his confirmation bias. If that doesn't hint at his level of intelligence and reasoning I don't know what does.

The poor performance at launch was not caused by Denuvo. It was caused by Capcom's additional DRM on top of it. They will remove Denuvo after a certain point, they have for every other title so far. Usually about 6 months after the last paid DLC.

Resident Evil Village still has Dunuvo till this day on PC so why expect anything different Capcom are terrible at PC releases...

[Peelsepuuppi]

Why would Capcom remove denuvo when they haven't even released the DLC yet? It would be outright stupid of them to pay for denuvo but remove it before they've gotten full use out of it i.e. protecting their DLC and it does, protect it. Anytime a company releases an update. Deunvo has to be re cracked again and it's a very laborious process that requires professional skills. If you know how to crack denuvo you are good enough to be hired at a high paying job in a real company for better pay than the pathetic little pirates will ever give you.

Pirates are not going to see the DLC in a while if at all. Whether Capcom makes any significant amount of money from using Denuvo, but what is undeniable is that Denuvo has been very effective at blocking piracy for most of the titles using it in the past couple years.

If you look on the store page for gold edition demo it does have Denuvo.

"Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper
5 different PC within a day machine activation limit"

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2062120/Resident_Evil_Village_Gold_Edition_Gameplay_Demo/

With that said, if demo has Denuvo than the full release will have it as well.
