Is Denuvo still in this game?
I hear bad things about Denuvo but never understood why it was disliked but as a precaution I am wanting to ask in hope's it isn't a part of this game any longer.

What does Denuvo do exactly and should I be worried when playing the Steam version? Oh and how would someone go about getting the Origin version?

I've been playing this game a LOT and I don't know what you are talking about - what is Denuvo ? :D In another words you should be fine. Just buy, download/install and play.

It's apparently an issue and I'd like to know more about it before I go and install the game, I have played this game before on PS4 but just finally got it on PC so I know that it's a fun game. I just want to make sure nothing bad will happen all because of some stupid problem that could of been gotten rid of.

Well I have both the Steam and Origin versions of the game and the only differences I have noticed is that the Origin version runs smoother. Although the Origin version comes with a minor irritation...

I have played thru this game so many times I have lost count, and still go back to it now and then. Sooo many hours spent enjoying this great game. :MMForFun:

I'm not even sure what Denuvo is all I know is that a lot of people hate it and I'm not sure if it's necessarily a bad thing or not.

That is a big rip, though looking into it apparently people are also saying it can harm your HD/SSD so even bigger rip.

I've played the game since its release on ps4 and now here on Steam, reading quite a lot of topics/reviews about the game and I never read or heard about someone complaining about "Denuvo" or whatever it is called :) Again, you just buy/download and play ;) Don't worry. In any case if it won't work you can always refund.

the Origin exe is called AVAmain.exe...
AVAmain.zip(9.4mb)
ht tps:/mega.nz/#!WI8FBTzb!AoSv3eAZDpZMsdd4-Y4X5VWKmXF6hlDA7Eml6wDCOHs
--
just drop the exe into your Mad Max directory where the Mad Max.exe is...
run the AVAmain.exe for Origin or run Mad Max.exe Steam versions.
NOTE: Origin version does NOT have achievements/some people claim there are less storms/Scrotus decal is unavailable due to no WBplay connection/and no on-line scrap rewards...also the Origin save games are in a different location so if you want to use your Steam saves you'll need to 'copy and paste' them into Users\(yourname)\Documents\WB Games\Mad Max\Saves
folder.
all the missing DLC can be found here if you want to add them as well(works in both versions)

Denuvo is a DRM and anti-tamper program. It's hated for constantly writing to your HD. If you have a SSD, it's shortening the life of it, from all of the writes to it.

I hear it doesn't kill your HD/SSD's life and I also hear it does, it's a mixed bag so unsure what is true and what isn't.
guys that like free games HATE IT and fools that read about how "BAD" it is. Had MANY games with it NOT ONE TIME have i had any prob i go by what i see not what someone says

It's actually not bad intuition to not believe something without seeing proof of it, in this instance you can't compare it to flat earth because everything surrounding Denuvo is hear-say and no one has actually put forth any evidence that Denuvo hurts your system.
