The Denuvo DRM Thread

[Great Deceiver]

I really think the RE7 demo was better than the actual game.

Denuvo Website Leaks Secret Information, Crackers Swarm


While the folks at Denuvo are leaders in the field of video game protection, the same cannot be said about their website. In an embarrassing blunder, the company has left some directories and files open to the public and right now members of the cracking community are downloading and scrutinizing the contents.

Anti-piracy outfit Denuvo has taken a bit of a battering lately after chinks began appearing in the company’s armor. Last weekend, cracking group CPY defeated the protection on Resident Evil 7 in just five days, a record for the anti-tamper technology.

And Battlefield 1 cracked.

 

[hajro]

They are going ham , new crack every 3 days.

 

[yes plz]

Tales of Berseria, which used Denuvo, has been CPY'd.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Wow.

 

[canakin]

I download all games cracked by CPY then delete the iso even without installing. Fuck DRM.

 

[Echo Mirage]

So, what changed all of a sudden? Not to long ago everyone was talking about the end of piracy. But now cracks look to be coming by the day.

The aforementioned "arms race" has been around since the dawn of man.

One day, someone comes up with a lock. The next day, someone else comes up with a method to pick it.

As long as the lock is made by Man, it can be picked open by Man.

This is not gonna change anytime soon.

This post is a year old and is on the very first page.

Nier:Automata delayed on PC cause they have a problem with piracy and that some games got cracked within release week ( re7 probably) so they want even more faggy DRM :ehue:

 

[JarlFrank]

How about making a good fucking game instead, fucking faggots

 

[Drax]

Good riddance.

They're Japanese. You want them to actually apply themselves instead of relying on their GRORIOS JAPANESE PROGRAMMING?

Nice pun..

 

[sullynathan]

And Battlefield 1 cracked.

Can you play it's multiplayer?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Nice pun..

It's based on an old joke (that's considered racist nowadays):

Q: Did you hear about the Great Wall of China?

A: It has chinks in it.

 

[moraes]

And Battlefield 1 cracked.

Can you play it's multiplayer?

Don't know. Probably not.

If I remember correctly the guy who came up with "demos reduce game sales" claim first was from Square Enix.

 

[sullynathan]

Don't know. Probably not.

So what was the point of cracking a game that is multiplayer focused?

 

[NeoKino]

There is no such thing as an unpickable lock or uncrackable safe, someone will always have the keys and if they don't they will try other ways to get it.

 

[taxalot]

Don't know. Probably not.

So what was the point of cracking a game that is multiplayer focused?

Supposedly, the BF1 solo campaign is acceptable.

 

[sullynathan]

Supposedly, the BF1 solo campaign is acceptable.

I played it, it isn't

 

[taxalot]

Supposedly, the BF1 solo campaign is acceptable.

I played it, it isn't

Thanks. Your opinion matters.

 

[Tacgnol]

I wonder if there was anything useful in the demo executables on the website?

Not that it really matters mind, as the Denuvo cracks seem to be getting faster and faster anyway.

Latest version of Denuvo’s DRM cracked yet again

In the endless back-and-forth war between DRM makers and crackers, it looked like Denuvo had established a temporary beachhead recently. A revamped version of the piracy protection (which the community is referring to as "v4") had started appearing in a handful of games in recent months, and v4 seemed more resistant to the kind of quick cracks that had plagued titles like Resident Evil 7 and Mass Effect Andromeda, which each ran older Denuvo versions.

But the Denuvo beachhead has now been breached, as cracking collective CPY has released a DRM-free version of 2Dark, an Alone in the Dark spiritual successor that launched with v4 Denuvo protection about a month ago.

The vagaries of Denuvo mean other games with similar protection (including Dead Rising 4, Nier: Automata and the recently released Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition) will still need to be cracked individually. Still, the 2Dark crack proves that the newly revamped version of the DRM is just as breakable as the old version (which was itself considered unbreakable for quite a while). That also means Mass Effect: Andromeda, which had Denuvo v4 patched in alongside other improvements after launch, may soon see a cracked version that includes the game's post-launch updates.

As TorrentFreak points out, the new crack comes with some small level of ironic glee for the cracking community. That's because the developers of 2Dark originally promised to release a DRM-free version of the game in a 2014 European crowdfunding campaign. Big Ben Interactive, which later picked up the publishing rights for the title, told TechRaptor it added Denuvo protection to protect "those first days and weeks of sales" from the effects of piracy.

Big Ben did indeed get a little over a month of effective piracy protection for 2Dark from its embrace of Denuvo. At this point, it seems that's about the most publishers can reasonably hope for if they sign on with the anti-tamper technology today.
