piracy was big back then but its even bigger now, deunovo maybe will take away 2 fps from you , thats all. unless you play on old ♥♥♥♥ cpu ,
PC gaming ig getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are buying games and Steam is getting more and more users, top sellers chart of each year since the parasite existed are fill to the brim with games that otherwise can be "sailed" for.
If piracy is a problem, it have been solved for a long time ago, with good services and availability, adding Denuvo do nothing more than adding another unnecessary layer of restrictions to the game that can prevent/hamper offline play.
It time to stop being too obsessed with the non-paying "customers" and the piracy boogeyman.

33 games with denuvo were released in 2024
not a single one of them has been cracked

Have you guys been living under a rock or are you just in denial? Either that or you are just lying for some reason.
Have you actually went and looked or do you just like to argue based on hearsay? Because I actually went and looked and every game with denuvo released in 2024 that I checked is available for download on pirate websites.
This is incorrect. Only one person on the planet could crack denuvo games (empress), and she hasnt been seen for a long while, Piracy lore is quite interesting lol. If you're not looking on the popular repack sites they're probably viruses.

Denuvo causes Havoc on the Steam Deck, since Denuvo is NOT designed for Linux, and denuvo based games are designed for windows systems only. The Steam Deck uses a proton emulation layer for games to think they are running on windows, but this has issues with Denuvo, because whenever you power reset the steam deck, the machine ID can often change between one of several unique identifiers (known as a "hash"), and this can cause Denuvo to fail to authenticate, and then it requests a new activation. This issue "seems" to be a SteamOS issue, as it does not happen if you are booting windows on the Steam Deck, AFAIK.

This is bad, because when denuvo requests a new authorization, it *DELETES* the previous "token" first, before getting the new one. It does this EVEN IF YOU ARE OFFLINE, so once it's deleted, you are completely locked out of the game.

Now remember what I said about the steam deck's machine ID changing between several different types/values (very close to each other, but even a bit value of "1" vs "0" is a checksum fail=new ID)? It's very possible for the ID to change back to the previous known value on the next cold reboot, but since Denuvo rage deletes the token instantly when you launch the game and the check fails--you're screwed.

There *is* a way around this, involving making the primary token "read only", which then, if the authorization fails and you are ONLINE, it will use a backup folder and save a new token in the second location, preserving the first one. Then you can go into desktop mode and make BOTH tokens read only. If you were in offline mode before you did this, with only one token read only, you would get: "steam is in offline mode: you must be online for first time run", but the token would still be there. But now you're creating two tokens, one in Program files(x86), one in (users).

So, on the next boot, if you go offline mode, if both tokens fail to authorize, denuvo tries to delete them but it fails, and then the game just crashes without an error, as this error condition was not tested for. Then you reboot the deck again (power off+reboot) and keep going until the one of the two ID's pass.

Yeah--how many people are going to know how to do this?
(you can alternatively SAVE Each token authorization, up to FIVE of them, in separate folders somewhere, with the folder names unique, and if the first 2 tokens failed, copy two more tokens into the primary folders, in desktop mode, and launch the game again. One of the 5 tokens will pass).

AFAIK, the tokens expire after a few months.

I am not defending denuvo, I actually wish it was cracked. My comment was specifically about cracking--to my understanding offline activation is a headache to deal with, and you typically have to pay at least a few bucks. System changes like a windows update and others would render it useless as well. An average walmart american would rather just buy it atp.

I shouldn't have use that specific quote lmao
However this is "piracy" we kinda talking about, I just want to break the illusions that Denuvo kinda stopped piracy by itself, headache or not it's still a way, and there're ways to deal it.

Mean while the ones who paid full price for it hurt the most as they can't use the things they paid for without asking for permission because of Denuvo, it's ruined one of the most important feature of steam.:sadkitty:

I feel like there are two distinct sides to this over-discussed topic, and both often miss the point or exaggerate it to defend their own views. Denuvo, as an anti-piracy measure, is actually the only one that truly gets the job done. I understand why companies that can afford it (typically only AAA developers) choose to use Denuvo to protect their games from piracy. It’s their right to do so, and “stealing” their work can never be justified, no matter the excuse.
That said, Denuvo does impact game performance. Anyone claiming otherwise likely has a high-end rig, which many of us don’t. For players with mid-range or lower-end PCs or even Steam Decks users, the performance hit is noticeable, and it’s frustrating to pay for a game only to have it run worse because of it. We can also all agree that a DRM-Free experience is preferable, and no one can genuinely claim that DRM enhances the gaming experience.
Currently, Denuvo is the most effective solution we have to combat piracy (games with Denuvo typically only get pirated once the companies stops paying for the service), however, while it helps prevent piracy, it does come with the downside and slightly reduced performance. DRM is never a fun addition for any player.
Peace.

Look, can we stop calling people who dislike Denuvo thieves or pirates by default already? There have been plenty of arguments posted here that show legitimate reasons why people don't want to support a product that uses it, so why not listen to those arguments instead of repeating the same unsupported and unprovable accusation?
They can't as all of their other so called arguments were dismantled one by one. That one is the only one they still got.
When all else fails, ad hominem is all that is left.

They don't have anything in this. They just want to be right by sucking up to corporations.

And it is really interesting seeing some defend it, saying that it has never been cracked in recent years, when there is no need to crack it. Pirates these days simply circumvent it altogether.

Denuvo is like buying a chicken sandwich, but the store sends a security guard home with you, to live with you until you're done eating it.

He glances up from his phone every few seconds to make sure that you're eating it properly, not taking the sandwich apart, adding any ingredients or toppings, sharing it with anyone, or trying to figure out its secret recipe.

I don't care how good the sandwich tastes, I'm not buying it. And if you don't care about Denuvo, you're just ignorant.

Whats the deal with denuvo? Can I get a quick rundown?
people hate on it because they use a potato as a PC and the game runs even more poorly on their systems because their CPU can't handle having anything extra running.

Yeah no Denuvo = *free game on torrent websites* Pirates HATE it. Game running flawless so far. And even better after their patch for DX12.
It's gonna be pirated even with denuvo. The only thing denuvo does is postpone the time when the game is cracked by a few days.

Okay and those "few days" are very important for the devs because most of the sales happen in the beginning.

OInly dirty broke pirates care about denuvo and those people should be jailed for 20 years.

Denuvo is the equivalent of a fast food worker spitting in your food before handing it to you. Plenty of us opposed to denuvo have bought more games than you ever will. Nobody's impressed with your tough "20 years" talk. It's ridiculous.

They will never get that denuvo loses them sales , not gaining them. Pirate wouldn't buy the game in the first place or wait for it to be cracked, paying customer will get worse performance than the pirate. Why would anyone with a brain support denuvo?

Denuvo is a anti pirat tool. Some trolls still spread that its spyware and cause lag.

I never had any issues. Just ignore them.

It has literally been tested and documented to cause a substantial decrease in fps, Whether you have dual 5090s to not notice the performance impact is well besides the point. Calling denuvo spyware is silly tho, save that title for Riot's Vanguard
