you already bought the game so there's nothing preventing you from playing it

The game runs just fine with it, not sure what you expect would change if and when it's ever removed. You already bought it, you're just wasting your own money and time by not playing it.

As the previous people said. The game works... Unless you have a REALLY old computer

While denuvo impacts performance, I was told it mainly does when badly implemented (when it processes during gameplay rather than loading screens), youtube comparison videos seem to confirm it (
DOOM Eternal Denuvo vs Non Denuvo | Game Loading Times and Performance | 1080p 1440p 4K RTX 2080 Ti -- Random Benchmark -- Mar 26, 2020
), you might want to toy around with capping processor usage for stability reasons.

Here some previous threads:

There seem to be cracked dxmd versions, but I don't know if this means removal of denuvo or simply the suspension of the phone-home feature.

I remember people were claiming the Linux version doesn't come with denuvo.
This video is from 2017. Even though linux doesn't come with denuvo it still performed worse than windows. Probably due to drivers but who knows, there don't seem to be any more recent comparisons

As the others have stated (funny to see them here, I know them from the hitman 3 forum), next time don't buy denuvo games if you dont intend to play them.
In capitalism: vote with your wallet.

Ok, it seems like denuvo has not been cracked but bypassed in deus ex mankind.

So you always have that option.
Which you shouldn't have to be forced to use, but such is life. Either don't buy or adapt.

Fun fact: Many steam users own more than one game. :47_thumb_up:

It's also available on GOG without it, no need to crack or pirate it or bypass it

And funny enough they run the same as reported by anyone that bothered to buy both

weird. could've sworn last time I checked it was still active. After 2020, when it was apparently removed.
Either I'm confusing games or years. :O :S

I hate the answers that say just deal with it. Thanks to all the others.

if you don't wanna "deal" with it, why buy games that have it?

Because i didnt know they had Denuvo, wise guy. I wanted to buy a game, not DRM. They dont even anounce it. So why dont you just answer the question on the title instead of asking more questions? go start your own discussion.

it was public knowledge that it has denuvo, could've simply refunded it

Sure, let's deal with your original question:

So what? You should play 1 before you play 2. Your question makes no sense.

Probably never at least not on the steam version, because it's already been proven time and time again that it didn't hurt performance on the game.

You want to know how everyone knows that? They already released a version without denuvo on gog, if you wanted that you could buy it there.

People who own both have confirmed they both function the same. It's just in your mind that you think there's some magical difference.

Didn't announce it? It was known since launch, literally from day 1.

When did you buy the game that you didn't have a chance to know this?

Why are you buying games without looking at their store pages to see if they have features/drm you do or don't want? That's the question you keep ignoring.

Even if you had been silly enough to pre order (why would you ever pre order a digital game release? They don't go out of stock, there's no need to pre order) you could have refunded it up to 2 weeks after launch while it was clear and obvious that it had denuvo.

You could have even played the game for up to 2 hours (and seen there was no performance issues) before refunding.

This all really comes down to your inability to pay attention.
