Cheat Engine?
Someone made a thread about this but everyone seems to be ignoring his questions in favor of talking about loot boxes :P

-Would Denuvo affect our ability to alter values in the game?
-To what extent could we change stuff? Focus, Mirians, Elf-Shots etc..? (like the first game)
-Would we be able to purchase loot boxes with them? (Ones that don't require gold)
-Would it be legal to purchase loot boxes with cheat mirians? They are, after all, an in-game currency. Should be fine in theory.
-Since the game has (rather unwanted) multiplayer elements, would it cause problems to alter values?

I don't need moral lessons about cheating in a singleplayer game, I play both with and without cheats depending on the game and the amount of grind.

Sometimes it's just more fun to be god-like.

Denuvo is only taking care that license validation is not modified. Its not an DRM itself and not an anticheat.

For legal questions you should read the EULA of this game and contact a laywer if necessary.

Ah, a lawyer! Of course, silly me. I'll just call the lawyer I keep around specifically for gaming-related issues.

Kinda curious about this. Bump.

Depends what is client side and what is server side. I've brought up the concern of cheaters in the online ranked player; the battle will be local to the player attacker, if it's local that means someone can potentially cheat their character with infinite hp/attack and just rank up infinitely.

You can't modify game files if Denuvo is in there mate so forget that as well as trainers

License validation is literally what a DRM is, my friend.

Are you kidding me? They'll charge you more then the game for the advice. And it will probably will incorrect so you have to pay them to defend you in court!

Yeah, his statement was innacurate. Denuvo does not keep you from editing in-game values. As said values edit themselves constantly.

You can cheat like mad with CheatEngine. People already have been.

From what I understand you can easily change the amount of money you have so that you can buy as many chests as you want. However you can't just add chests directly, as they are connected to the server.

And Denuvo does absolutely nothing to stop cheating. Or piracy for that matter. lol

Basically unless a game has VAC protection, people will be able to cheat in them as much as they like. And VAC only works when you're actually playing online.

And that's how it should be, if someone is using cheats on single player, let them be free and happy to do so, just online that should not be allowed.

Couple that with the devs having the nerve to add LOOT BOXES in a singleplayer game.
