Denuvo locked me out for 24h

[1984]

Disclaimer: I play Monster Hunter Wilds on Linux using Proton.

While tinkering with the launch options, Denuvo locked me out of the game for 24 hours.

While this might not seem severe, it’s really disappointing for me. I'm a dad of three, and I even arranged an overnight stay for my kids so I could have some time to play this evening.

Feels bad, boys :(

Good to know for any denuvo titles in future...
Fortunately the proton I use is good for all use cases and I don't need to switch.

True, but I hope with Valve taking the lead in Linux support for games, I am positive this will change more and more in the future.

You have to start somewhere, right?

That or didn't make contact with all their servers:

For me its the 24h disable message. It has nothing to do with the contact to their servers, sadly.

Same error here. I haven't installed the game 5 times, I think I have started it 5 times total today though, after regular crashes.

Been doing that for 26 years. Problem?
