Denuvo?

[BBBoy]

As in title, will this game have denuvo Anti-Tamper?

Messaggio originale di strike478:

They probably know that:
1. Denuvo decreases performance (scaring off players with lower end PC's).
2. Only slows down pirates few days.
3. Is minor obstacle to pirates and pain to legal owners.

So they decided to not use it.

It sure did slow down piracy for Dragon Ball Fighterz though ... unless I'm wrong, still no crack.

Why pirates would bother if fans sold their pants to get pre order day one it showed and single content in DBFZ is pathetic (Arcade mode with mental handicaps terrible bots and no into/outro story mode sucks in every respect except for removing power levels drama and few jokes and while cutscenes and story is worse than MvCI fighting clones is so terrible 5 hours of story mode that.... lets just say that it made me miss MvCI story mode even more).

You mean they didn't bother cracking DBFz but bothered cracking every single pathetic game out there ?

Sure :)

DBFZ's single player's content is below pathetic. Only Street Fighter 5 could outclass DBFZ.

PS:Are you suggesting that BBTAG is pathetic?

You realize people can play DBFz in versus mode offline right ? Or that some of them just wanna roll through Arcade Mode over and over ?

Many Denuvo protected games got cracked with way less value than DBFz, especially true considering the huge amount of people asking for a crack.

Tekken 7 had Denuvo (not the latest version, like DBFz has) and still got cracked, while having "pathetic single player content" ...

DBFz is just harder to crack, it takes times, and indeed, it prevented a lot of piracy on PC, so it worked as intended.

And why would I suggest CrossTag is pathetic when I bought the Deluxe JP version on PS4 ? Not to mention CrossTag is not Denuvo protected anyway ... Makes no sense ... sorry :)

Japanise devlopers other than Sega and Namco kinda dont care about denuvo anymore.
And Namco only usses it on Big name titles.

Nice to see that Arc System Works isn't the problem and they've refrained from going the way of Bandai Namco and Square Enix and WB Games and so many others I no longer buy from.

For me it has been issues with offline authentication errors. If the game launches at all it plays fine but, out of the thirteen games I own that are infested with Denuvo, eleven of them have locked me out at least once.

Although, unlike the other games from Bandai Namco I skipped for using that worthless garbage, Dragon Ball FighterZ is actually uncracked so Denuvo is doing something for it where for games like Tekken 7 and Tale of Berseira and God Eater the only thing it's protecting the game from is sales.

Of course, after losing so many sales to Denuvo, Bandai Namco stopped listing it with Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet and I swore off them entierly on PC and consoles (unlike Square Enix where I'm only done buying their garbage PC ports) until they decide to be honest with their customers about the third party code they use.

Meanwhile, EA had patched it out of two games and Capcom has removed it from one, so some of the worst offenders are pulling their heads out while Bandai Namco has decided to go beyond the level of Square Enix into not just using Denuvo but lying about it.

I'd never complain about Denuvo again if people would just start patching it after the game has been cracked, but so few actually do that.

Currently the uncracked Denuvo games list is:

Total War: Thrones of Britania (I gave up on Total War games three titles back)
Puyo Puyo Tetris (did anyone buy that, even on Switch?)
Fe (shame, love Zoink, but with EA in the mix I have to hope for an eventual GOG release)
Dragon Ball FighterZ (I kinda wanted it, but for local vs, just like Tekken 7)
Star Wars Battlefront II (Meh, sounds terrible in every way, though less than to begin with)
Injustice 2 (this would've sold to me as well, but I know it will never be patched, WB and all)
Football Manager 2018 (Popular, like FIFA, but I don't get it)
Handball 17 (so old, trivial Denuvo version to crack, but such a joke that it will stay "safe.")

That's eight games, out of over a hundred, with only nineteen (eleven of which I bought after the patch, and one more is on my list for the next sale) having removed it and one of those (Mad Max) only being patched on Origin while two (Sherlock Holmes and Abzu) are only patched on GOG with the Steam versions still using Denuvo.

What a surprise. Nobody who complained about denuvo here, actually purchased this game.

No one wants to purchase a game riddled in bugs, normal people wait until issues are fixed before investing. Your logic is funny. I dislike Denuvo as well but am not stupid enough spending money on a game that has buggy port atm.

What a world we live in where devs have to respond to bait threads :(

Here we go again :revelatorram:

It's been proven to affect performance especially on 1st gen and 2nd gen intel I range CPUs, Harada also confirmed T7 PERFORMANCE ISSUES WERE BECAUSE OF DENUVO SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.

I'm pretty sure just existing causes performance issue on cpus that old...

This one, I picked it up on Switch, where it works great.

My order for buying things is:

GOG
Switch
3DS
Humble
Steam
Origin

Uplay has lost me, what with the inability to turn off those obnoxious ads when you exit a game and the DRMception of recent Ubisoft games, plus the obnoxious response when you ask why they never patch games that have real DRM related performance issues (outside of the general Denuvo authentication errors) even after they were cracked in a week to a month.

As to other games mentioned like Dragon Ball FighterZ...

Of course not.

I bought Ys VIII and Tokyo Xanadu ex+ and Tangledeep and Cultist Simulator and Moonlighter and Omensight and Wizard of Legend.

Then I cleared some of my backlog of wishlist titles like Aer and Pyre and Regalia and Battle Chasers and Yoka Laylee and Earthlock and Ember and Asura...

Heck, I've pretty much stopped buying games on Steam because I have to research if they have some garbage third party DRM that will break the game for me, on GOG I know the game will work. That's why, since February, the last 86 games I've purchased were all there rather than here.

Now, if Arc System works started releasing on GOG...

Well, not only would I buy faster and not wait around for a sale to make dealing with Steam worthwhile, but I would repurchase (or give massive bonus points to the company if they listed them on Connect so I'd get GOG copies of the games I own on Steam) all the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue titles I own here to go with Calamity Trigger and Isuka + X2 #Reload (the Guilty Gear ones don't seem to be for sale there anymore, only Calamity Trigger is still listed on GOG, but both GGs are in my library even if they were delisted) I already have there.

Denuvo screechers are really pathetic...Just let it go. Doesn't the tinfoil hat get uncomfortable after a while?

Less uncomfortable than having enough games to be 10% of your entire library, even if they do get lost in mine as closer to 1% of the titles I own, lock me out due to using it...
