Does this game still has Denuvo?

[Daelight]

Just curious. I wonder if this game still has Denuvo in it.

It kills cpu's, draining them to the max for no apparent reason, so I'd say yes.

Ubisoft never has removed denuvo from any of they games.

Here is a more informed point of concerning Denuvo's effect on Origins. It is titled Assassin’s Creed: Origins – Denuvo vs Denuvo-free benchmarks – Significantly less stuttering, faster loading

I'm 99.9% sure it does have. Because they never remove it from the game no matter the game has been cracked or not.

The sad thing about this is that if you don't have newer CPU and much better one, you'll suffer a lot with the stuttering.
According to benchmarks for AC Origins, FPS with or without Denuvo and VM Protect is the same.
But the CPU spikes are way more noticeable on DRM game than on DRM-free (read cracked) version. Source: Youtube link and Reddit.

Even though Ubisoft claims that everyone should have the same experience and that DRM doesn't impact performances. Of course they'll say that.

So I am not surprised that they set Targeted framerate for this game just at 30 FPS with minimum and recommended system requirements. Source[support.ubisoft.com].
If anyone decides to browse through this forum you'll notice that people who were having problems with freezing or stuttering partially solved the problem with locked 30 FPS. Those are with slightly older CPUs. But it's beyond my mind that the game doesn't work well on Skylake CPUs which uses same architecture (14 nm) or AMD Ryzen 1xxx and that you can't have stable 60 FPS. Even I with i5 8500 can't have that all the time despite my GPU doesn't run at 100%.

Playing with 30 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor is a nightmare to me. So let's just say that I hate this.
