how bad is the denuvo lag and is there an eta on when we can remove this garbage?

this is by far the best running denuvo game I have ever played. usually there is hard stutters and long loading but not here. no idea when they will remove it but I doubt they are looking to be dealing with that monthly payment forever.

thats just my experience though. might wanna get further opinions. I have a 3090 so im not exactly top of the line here tho

The Unreal Stutter Engine is a much bigger problem than Denuvo here.

The Denuvo lag is non existent for me. My game never drops below 180 fps (my refresh rate). Not using frame generation or upscaling. The game just runs incredibly well.

This is UE4 which is miles more polished than UE5 for now at least

I just turned off DLSS and the boss is running much smoother. Turns out this might have just been operator error on my part. Thanks!

there is no denuvo lag. there's just UE shader comp stutters. but overall the game runs fine.

As with most "denuvo lag", it's only really there in your mind unless your PC is really REALLY cheeks. Specifically in the ram/storage departments.

Doing testing of games with and without Denuvo, it's not noticable at all on a reasonably modern gaming pc. My PC is pushing 7 years old and it was midrange back then and I've never had any lag show up in any testing whatsoever on any denuvo games, and comparing them to versions without denuvo, there were no real changes in either direction.

I'm on max settings with 120fps (my monitor frame cap) and it's flawless. Not a single jitter or hiccup so far.

And with other tests, the main issue usually seems to be file size, not really lag, or the lag seems to be rather minimal (Single digit frame differences at 4K) and can often be chalked up to optimizations. Most devs are quite good at "hiding" the encryption "lag" these days.

game runs great for me, and my specs are pretty aged. 16gb ram, ryzen 3600, rtx 2070 super. runs a pretty steady 70-90fps @ 1440p with maxed settings and DLSS set to DLAA (which means DLSS isn't reducing the resolution at all, only applying DLAA as a form of antialiasing)
