Epic Online Services + Denuvo

This game has EOS(you can search the game folder for EOSSDK). It still has Denuvo as well.

The game still contains it though. I got the game yesterday and installed it.

Yep, but it's good and really fun to play. For me it's even better than Arkham series. Better combat, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of stuff to do all around all the time,better boss fights, NG+, HA, and 4 ppl co-op. And it's made by WB, not Rockstead, which they did that S.Squad abomination.

I think there is a Steam Guide for Gotham Knights off the Forums here, that approximately tells you where to go to stop it from calling home. It's not quite the right path, I think though.

But, yes, it also installs additional stubs to several other folders.

What I did was DISABLE in Task Manager, under the Services Tab. Then I went offline and had Steam Off. I then renamed the file I thought was the main caller like bakEOS.bak, so it can't be seen as existing or an executable, just in case.

Then I searched for it in the various Documents and User folders. Then I tested while no Wi-Fi or Internet Connect, and while Steam is set first to Offline Only, and checked if it would run okay. I found it wanted to continually test for 8-15 seconds for online access before loading up anyway.

So then I just wiped the stuff in the User areas relating to EOS OR just check Installed Apps with EOS in their name and removed those.

If you like then also use something like Revo Uninstaller or maybe Glary's Utilities to get rid of anything left of it, or in the Registry.

Just using Revo Uninstaller would probably do it even easier, provided it shows in the list of Found Programs or Apps by that program, or something similar.

Anyway, that's the basic idea. Most of the stuff are logs and stuff. There may be up to two actual executables, if I recall correctly, or might be just one. But 3-4 locations total if you add all the logs and various locations (at least 2 in User various locations) and at least one as executable calling it all up (but pretty sure the EXE was calling up other callables that could possibly be called otherwise, thus why it was best to just kill all of it).

Loads up faster after all that, so a win-win. No more pinging while in Steam Offline to check for an internet connect pre-load up.
