Denuvo removed yet?

[🍃🪻🪷Sylvie🩵🍸🍵]

It's been one year after release date. When will EA/Motives release next patch to remove Denuvo Anti-Tamper?

why

you already bought it, clearly denuvo wasn't a deciding factor for you

[Jedimindtrickonyou]

You own the game too, why are you asking us? We don’t know anything more than you and I’ve never seen EA take questions in the Deadspace discussions before. You can see recent updates from your library or the game page if you click on the right spot.

Because denuo is trash like EA. Unfortunately as much as I want the game, I want be purchasing anything from such a ♥♥♥♥ company until they remove these punishing features. What's the point of verifying it on deck, a PORTABLE system, when uou can't play it portable? How ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. And how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid of EA to treat their players so ♥♥♥♥.

Don't you like finding out how the games work after removing denuvo? I do! Shorter load times was the one thing I remember in some games.

You can play it on the Steam Deck, it still has the stuttering issue like PC, but it’s playable. I’d even go as far as to say it runs better through proton than it does natively on Windows. Assuming you install it on the internal NVMe (not Micro SD or eMMC 64GB model). It’s not perfect but it’s definitely not any worse than running it on similarly powerful hardware using Windows. Maybe it’s the Shader Cache downloads that Steam OS features.

no, and be glad they havent replaced it with enigma like capcom is trying to

You're probably right about the proton thing, honestly I've found alot of my games run better and cooler on my deck than they ever did on my zephyrus g14. Of course the unsupported games require cryoutilities. I was actually talking about how you need internet when starting the game because of the denuvo. It's the whole reason I hate EA so much, as much as I love games like dead space and mass effect. As much as I wanted tiny tinas on deck I unfortunately has to refund it as well because of the denuvo. I mostly play my deck on the go, so this ruined my entire experience.

I honestly see alot of companies following suit, simply because of that whole "eula" thing. You aren't buying the game, but rather right to just play it. I heard even Bethesda was gonna go the route of applying locks like this to their games.

Oh, gotcha. My bad then, yeah ♥♥♥♥ Denuvo and all DRM or anything requiring single player games to check in with a server. People still crack games if they have a mind to do so, the people with that skillset. 99% of people aren’t interested in doing that anyway, but they still suffer from the performance issues it causes. And shout out to cryobyte33, that software really does improve performance in many cases for certain games. Valve should hire that guy, but I guess the community benefits more since he releases his software for free and probably wouldn’t be allowed to do that if he was developing OS components for Steam OS.

That would be very stupid of them, Monster Hunter Rise is catching some hell because of it. But to me that would be the final nail the coffin then from them. Nothing surprises me when it comes to Bethesda anymore. They always seem to do what the big boys are doing and think they have to follow suit.

As for the op question, I think it would depend on the publisher. Do EA have a history of removing it? I don't know much about EA with it. Most do, but the time span varies. Guess all you can do is keep it on your WL and keep checking every once in a while.

There's also a denuvo group you can join that let's you know in your activity feed when a game removes it.

[Karax]

Denuvo is the reason I'm not buying this game, I'll just wait until it is removed, and possibly even grab it on a huge sale, until then, there are plenty other fine games without DRM to enjoy

As far as EA, they've always done denuvo. It's highly unlikely they will ever remove it unless enough people like boycott it. Sadly they do make really good games despite they're punishing drm so getting enough players to go against them would be very, very unlikely.

I agree though it really is becoming the final nail in the coffin for me. Like I had said I'm only on deck, so it completely ruins games for me. Almost none of my games have it and if they do they get refunded. I'm only going to make an exception for dead space at some point because of how big a fan I am of it. But it will only be on sale I get it.

I'll deffinitly have to look into that group though. It's always a good day when drm is removed

[ConnorTheCone]

I'm waiting for they to get rid of denuvo or the game becoming cheap enough for me to ignore it.

And if not I can play it on the ps5 that will probably run the game better if doesn't have denuvo.

Yeah when I found out about Enigma I completely abandoned capcom and locked updates for MHW and MHR. Thankfully dodged the MHR enigma update.

The upside is; it seems they might replace Denuvo with Enigma moving forward. Given the last cracker than cracked Denuvo stopped cracking games last year, it'll be a perfect DOWNGRADE for crackers since Enigma gets cracked in hours.

[Lust]

Just bought the game and instantly refund it. Didn't know it has Denuvo until I start the game and it literally crash my window twice before I can even get past the opening cutscene. CPU is constantly at 100%.
