denuvo or similar?

[Bigote·D·gamba]

since i cant see anything on the page does it have or not? im tired of having stutter in games like hogwarts becuase of antipirate softwares like denuvo.

Denuvo is not anti piracy it’s anti consumer

After foolishly buying hogwarts legacy I too wonder if this game will have denuvo. If it has it guess I'll play it when it's removed because though hogwarts is fun that constant frame drop seems like a punishment for actually buying the game. Someone on reddit has posted a video of devs VS empress crack. Guess which runs better?

Denuvo isn't the problem with that game, it's the steam overlay
But yeah it would be better if developers and publishers just stop using Denuvo
Or maybe just start removing it from their games after 6-12 months

Yeah, Empress optimized her version to have much better and higher FPS stability consistency. Always fascinating when the free version of a game is better than the paid version.

In any event, this game does not appear it will have Denuvo unless it gets slipped in at the last second. Wild Hearts seemed to have it slipped in mainly because of the partnership with EA, and the use of their client being required. Time will tell.

while I didn't have too many initial issues on ps5 hogwart's, except for that memory leak fixed restarting the game after playing for about 3 or 4 hours (it holds my attention well usually), I did start having many more moments of stutters here and there after a patch I downloaded. so there's still a few kinks to work out but it's one of the best games I've played since games went from 2.3D to 3D.



Hogwart's is worth the money, and I don't think the denuvo is behind Most of the game's issues since they happen on console too (unless that junk infects console games too in which case I'll start holding out for 50% sales or only buy games with physical copies available). Hogwart's really is worth playing, though I recommend it on console for now as denuvo makes it rentalware versus actually owning a copy if you bought it physically at least on a console and you can play it when your internet goes out during ww3 on console but not on pc lol.

The pirated version of Hogwarts legacy without denuvo is a stuttery mess too. There are comparison videos showing that and that the FPS is 8 - 16 FPS average better, but it still has all the other problems.

So you're probably right.

Drm may reduce your average fps in some places and will increase stutters here and there, but it won't make the game a stuttery mess on its own. Unless it's EA's drm, or they stuck 3 on top of each like with AC Origins.

Funny thing though, a friend of mine said his game run much better with an ethernet cable, than a wifi connection ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I could very well have denuvo and not mention it on the store page. I've seen two big releases in the last month that did so.
