denuvo ruined MH world for me. will not be buying this

[Ratman Johnson]

I bought MH:W years ago before they first added denuvo to it. played 50 hours with my friends and loved it. it ran perfectly fine. then they decided to add denuvo and my framerate became unplayable. it would horribly stutter every 15-30 seconds. no matter what i did nothing would fix it. after they removed denuvo i tried to play it again since icebourne was out and i wanted to buy it and play with friends. nope the issue still persisted even after they removed denuvo. incredibly frustrating having a fun game to play with friends become unplayable just like that. my playthrough of world being so interrupted after only 50 hours, wanting to play it but can't. I can't bring myself to play rise after all that. ♥♥♥♥ denuvo, pirates still pirate, just slower and you ♥♥♥♥ over paying customers like me. someone make a better anti piracy software PLEASE

this still makes me mad to this day. just venting about it

game runs fine despite the evils of denuvo because it's a switch game ported to PC which is dramatically faster. I get solid 60+ under any conditions, even with 4 players spamming LBG rapid pierce with 100% affinity.

If it's from moral concerns, denuvo was removed from World after its content drip had finished, and it's safe to assume the same will happen with this game in a year or two.

What is denuvo?

Anti-piracy software.
Basically, companies buy a license to own the software (Denuvo) that they then use to integrate into the game to make it so people can't crack their game's files and immediately make torrents of it to spread across the vast internet sea.
Problem is, Denuvo has had a long history of causing problems with stability of the game it's 'protecting' and it almost always results in worse performance. Sometimes that loss of performance is so minimal that it isn't noticeable in the slightest and other times it's an absolute hellscape of problems.
There's a significant number of cases where pirating a game meant that you would have considerably better performance than someone who actually paid for the game.

I'm convinced the only reason why the software keeps being used is because the old bastards at the top don't know what they're actually signing for.

Funny thing is: Denuvo rarely does ♥♥♥♥ all for actually protecting games from being pirated.
Most games are getting a torrent between day of release and a week after.

Denuvo is just so impractically ♥♥♥♥.

For better or for worse, your words couldn't be truer. Piracy on PC is gonna be dead PRETTY soon (at least with AAA games)

[toughnails]

The awful performance in World right after Iceborne's release was due to Capcom's own DRM added ON TOP of Denuvo (and the same goes for RE Village). Denuvo alone has virtually no performance impact as the Denuvo checks are usually done only during loading screens and such.

Have you and other people who complains about that actually sent an email with your complaints towards [e-mail] ?

Venting is fine, but if you actually want to change something, best to address it correctly.

Arrr matey, I agree, booty is being hard to come by, even taxed on me bury treasured.

[Vamrem]

Damn, I wanted to buy this on offer but no way. Never will buy something with 'hard' DRM. Prefer GOG if the game is there, and for Steam, only the 'account' DRM.

Distributors, developers: Stop bothering your own players. You aren't stopping Piracy, the game is already pirated. I don't want to play it even pirated for free, because have may others good game WITHOUT DRM which deserves the most important I have: My time, then, my money (which is also time, but you understand).

[SoftpilLoW]

Good for you, I just bought rise + sunbreak from Gamergate with price around 32$.
Even it's discounted I feel waste of money, Everything is inferior to MHW, I feel the lazyness of the development team. Unfortunately I can't get a refund.
You can pass this game. just wait to play New Monster Hunter made for new console is better and hope Crapcom not forced stupid DRM again.

[Lightning]

You won't have any lag/fps issues with Rise..unless you're playing this game on a really old and useless PC, in which case, you probably shouldn't be playing any game to begin with..even with Denovo, a half-decent PC will still get 100-200 fps in Rise.

anti piracy software which is almost always bypassed within the first week or month of a games release by repackers.

Capcom also caused some of the performance issues in World themselves. Look up World's CRC check.
