How bad is Denuvo on this game?

[konosalvo]

Just wondering how much it affects performance

"Runs perfect on emulation", as long as you PC can handle it. :p

The $500 laptop I purchased can run switch emulation at full speed.

Even the steam deck can emulate most switch games at full speed.

Even higher end phones can emulate the switch.

But apparently my PC is worse than this $500 laptop then.

Yes, I CAN run some Switch games at full speed. But not all of them. And certainly NOT this game. When I tried, the game ran at around 16 FPS on Ryujinx.

But the PC version runs at 60 FPS just fine.

My computer is mid range and like 5 years old and I've had absolutely no issues performance wise. It's a lot better than it was on switch.

It doesn't affect performance in this or any other game. Myself, Durante and Digital Foundry, have all looked into it. The latter haven't had nearly as much experience modding games for performance as I have. If Denuvo actually did hurt performance, I'd be cursing its very existence, but it doesn't.

In the event that you don't trust myself, Durante or Digital Foundry.

The -real- problem with Denuvo is that as most people know it requires an Internet connection once every 2 weeks (or immediately following a game patch -- launch patched Denuvo games ASAP :P).

It can also create headaches for Steam Deck users, because different vesrions of Proton count as completely different machines to Denuvo. So you need to be vigilant and make sure Steam doesn't change Proton versions while you're online and then you go to launch the game offline...

I mean, if you don't care about Denuvo, fine, but it DOES affect the game. Like, it HAS to in order to verify that you're not cheating because it can't just be one and done. Now, to what extent obviously depends on how intensive the game is to run in the first place. Seeing as how this was originally a Switch title, there's obviously going to be less room for error.

Emulation is not strictly how powerful your PC is/isn't, it also greatly depends on the hardware you're using and the actual emulation program itself. Don't let people like that bother you, man. As someone who has emulated games before, it's just hit or miss sometimes.

All evidence shows it increses latency, loading times and had a reducment in peformance, Digital foundry also showed negative effects.. You have had a very extreme bias and agenda in this area for years not based on anything factual. I respect your work hugely in fact not your extreme bias and bizzare views in this area.

Digital foundry results DID show increse loading time and latency regardless of what their opinion was. I trust you on litterally everything else aside from poltics and this.. I just dont trust your views on this because your extreme views and tangents regarding this are quite well known and its not on anything factual.

Regardless, I still donate as your work is incredible i would be screwed as an HDR enjoyer but this seems to be blatantly ignoring the facts.
