Unfortunately it has Denuvo.

[Resist]

I learned about the game and got interested in it for rejecting the western wokeness, but unfortunately they put Denuvo in it :S . Probably will wait a year until they remove it. I don't understand why developers insist in ruining the game performance with this garbage... I'm running RTX4070ti and Denuvo tanks my performance like I'm using a GTX GPU. It's a blight to gaming and I do not understand why developers allow this crap to ruin their games.

Because "gamers should get comfortable with not owning their games".

Shame, this one looked pretty decent...hopefully they'll disinfect it soon enough.

From what I search, Denuvo slowdown the game performance. And also take your personal information (Piracy) Am I right?

There are videos that prove it doesn't. Some cracks just fools Denuvo into thinking your copy is legit. But it's hard to test. In some games the performance got worse when it was removed. What do you do in that case?

People who hate denuvo always have a reason to claim it causes all sort of problems.

I've run a lot of Denuvo titles. Haven't really noticed it being a problem.

That's nice for people who made those videos, I guess, I just know that every game that I reinstalled without Denuvo ran better, so I kinda don't care.

Denuvo completely tanks game performance. Dragon's Dogma 2 had dips to sub 30 fps on RTX4090s :D

It is related to the engine having extreme long render distance and the physics engine unable to handle all of the NPC in the towns.
Denuvo isn't the problem because the console have the exact same problem.

It is just very poorly optimized.

Very much doubt that. Also the game could have gotten performance fixes through patches.

Denuvo is 100% a problem. The game runs better on the PS5, which is couple of times less powerful than a current get PC rig.

Can't say I care what you think, given I know what happened.

I'll wait till they remove it. Bummer.

I think its reasonable even if it does tank performance, since piracy.

I prefer they just give it Denuvo so it cant be pirated and they can make profits since i hope this wont be their only "big" game, and would need the funding.

i have the same gpu as you and im sure it shouldnt matter too much if u lowered your graphics.

I would understand that but most of the time it doesn't even actually help much when it comes to sales. Some people who pirate games do it in order to test if they will like the game before spending money on it or to see if their PC can run it, not too mention the slowdown that it causes for some games. Also some people will stray away from buying games that use denuvo knowing full well the performance issues that it causes which further tanks their income from the game.

All that and it isn't even a guarantee that it will actually protect the game from being cracked, more just delaying it. I actually had to hold of on playing certain games because it's performance was so bad that it was damn near unplayable.

Edit: Forgot to mention this but Denuvo is also an ubsurdly expensive service to actually maintain, costing somewhere around the range of 50k - 100k per 12 months of protection. All of these together pretty much negate any positives that would come from using the service

That's the neat part, we actually don't. Denuvo can lick my 𝘉🥚🥚𝘭𝘭'𝘴.

A friendly suggestion? put the DRMPipe down and get some sun.

HERE'S AN IDEA! - grab yourself a SteamDeck, head on down the park and enjoy some "Black Myth: Wukong" on the go!

What's that I hear you say? oh yeh...... YOU CAN'T!!!

Without an active internet connection your single player game is useless. That's also assuming it doesn't lock you out for tinkering with your own machine and other arbitrary reasons (a well known pain for Linux/SteamDeck users and games infected with Turduvo).

If you enjoy paying full price for glorified rentals that demand constant, external permission to play, or will shut the door on you, then you go on right ahead buddy! more power to ya.

As for me? I'm gonna continue in my desertion of any DRM plagued title, and enjoy some good ol unadulterated Quake \m/
