True for Denuvo, gotta wait to play it on nintendo switch I guess....

[HeritoBiBuba]

Yup, I was about to buy the game and happily accidentally saw that it using Denuvo. Insta cancelled my order. :)

No Denuvoo is not the problem here when it's well implemented (i mean without doing check every 5sec no stop)

The MAIN killer's performance is the SECOND slider for the definition render of light , shadows etc and other (as describes in the game)

You have the first slider witch refers in reality to the render scaling of the quality oof your image (egual of DSR from Nvidia)

The second slider (below your actual definition) is the OLY who DESTROYS clearly the performance

actually framerate is very good with an rtx 3090 FE by ex in Ulta everywhere just for testing purposes here, i know very well that Ultra is useless and doesn't scale aboe egual of console's settings)

In native 4k with Cinematic , v synch, motion blur disable, no AA (no need to)

BUT ! It's at 50% of the render light , ambiant occlusion etcIf you dare to push at say 0% yes it will kill your performance clearly. And at 100% it will be a slidershow (honestly)

Tested with my 9900K/32go ram/RTX 3090 FE (vrr on LG C1 OLED)

The problem of the game there it's a honestly...blurry for textures and well smearing when your second slider is at 50% (he picture is at 100% but the second slider is the performance killer's compared to)

70/80% is what you want for precise image and textures.

No problem for Denuvo , the real problem is the secpond slider who indeed kil the performance. Otherwise performance is very good (knowing it's UE5 not just UE4)

And wiothout using scaler yes it's more true (i don't say if i was at 1080p not even 60 fps on an rtx 3090 fe yes clearly but there it's ok)

You have to find the balance between second slider and smoothness, but yes it's possible and good. Denuvo had nothing to do otherwise i would have been struggling the first boot in the game (was in the 75/90 fps see bit more depending on the location and viewing's angle)

Hummm could be there is big differnece with highter end gpu but depend on you config. Juding your vram and depending on the game's ressources check your textures on quality

Akso UE is heavily dependant on ST perf on cpu, if you play in 1080p

Look, you misunderstood me. I honestly don't care whether Denuvo messes with a game's performance or not. I just don't like the whole concept of Denuvo. Having to constantly be online just to play a completely single-player game? No thanks. If Denuvo hypothetically went bankrupt tomorrow, it could leave a lot of games essentially unplayable (unless the developer decides to patch them). In that case, you'd be left high and dry - paid for something you can't even use anymore.

On top of that, I don’t like the idea of DRM software constantly encrypting and decrypting things, wasting my computer’s resources (no matter how little). So, for me, it’s a matter of principle - I don’t buy games with Denuvo or similar DRM.

dont use denuvo

[Chris]

I didnt notice anything at all, my game ran smooth as butter on my system. If anything i had to actually put a fps lock due to tearing due to higher framerates.

The denuvo product manager unsurprisingly called us steam users "very toxic, very hostile" for not liking denuvo.

I have a 3060 12gig and don't have any problems (1080p high&cinematic mix)

Someone who makes a living out of treating Steam users like criminals and punishing us accordingly considers us to be "toxic" and "hostile"?

Pirates get to play a DRM free version, they literally save money and get the best working version
