The official Steam store page for Far Cry 5 has revealed that Ubisoft’s latest title will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. We are pretty sure that none of you will be surprised by this as Ubisoft has been using it in all of its games lately. However, it’s good that we already know about it.
According to the game’s EULA, Far Cry 5 is protected by Digital Rights Protection and Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Far Cry 5 will install the DRM software and may limit the number of installations of the product. Furthermore, the DRM may install on your computers additional components required for copy protection.
It will be interesting to see whether Ubisoft will use VMProtect over Denuvo. As we’ve seen in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, this combo has protected the game from crackers. However, and since Denuvo 4.8, we are curious to see whether Origins will get cracked and whether or not Far Cry 5 will get cracked in record time. Or will Denuvo and Ubisoft use a new version of the anti-tamper tech?

Good, we should be able to have “demo” in a few days after release
Is there a game DEMO coming up as well ?
Analyze carefully my sentence 😉
Hmmm…
Jeez, they’ll crack this in a heartbeat that’s why we’ll have a “demo”
😉
I’m pretty sure that all ubi games after Assassin Creed Origins will have Denuvo+ VMProtect.
Also do not pre-order … it will be a bug nightmare since they changed engine 8 months ago :/
” they changed engine 8 months ago ”
That explains alot.
What are you talking about? Its using an updated version of the Dunia 2 engine used on Primal. A few new features have been added, and even a pretty nice PBR system has been put in place. The game engine hasn’t had much happen… I’m not saying it isn’t buggy, it may be. I’m certainly not buying it. Just please show me where they changed the engine.
Andd ?
And…, get ready for performance loss on most of the PCs, if not all.
denuvo 4.8 is hacked anyhow
But what about VMProtect, and if UBI implements a new version 4.9/5 of Denuvo ?
Proof? Nah didn’t think so.
No proof. That was just a guess from my side, with some sarcasm.
But seriously, I hope there is no performance loss, but I’m worried about VMProtect, apart from a new version 4.9 or 5.0 of DENUVO, if implemented for this game ?
there is not performance effect aside form 1-2 doom with and without drm runs just same and fine it’s ubisoft and their sh`tty optimisation which pirate on this site blame on denuvo
???? you no make sense.
Proof that their DRM isn’t the cause? Nah didn’t think so.
Ubi has a long history of implementing anti-consumer tech and the PROOF is already there in benchmarks: useless CPU hogging and bottlenecked GPUS usage.
Ubishit just spun it all for the idiots to think is their oh so amazing game tech is what is bogging down CPUs. Yeah no.
Marketing armies can work wonders on social media and comment sections to mask the truth.
proof is mental illness delusion that has been spread in them via losers this site
yeah and this happens only on this site. NOPE, look everyone knows that you are insane troll possibly gamingderp.
Once again, LEGIT buyers/gamers have to deal with this so-called DENUVO, as well as VMProtect (if implemented).
GOD save us all from this intrusive DRM. This is like a slow growing cancer to the PC gaming community.
Don’t get me wrong though, as I always want to support the game DEVs, but this new Denuvo drm is kind of anti-consumer, in my opinion.
But anyways, I really can’t miss any First person shooter, so I have no choice but to purchase this game. Kinda addicted to playing FPS.
Hope the game gets cracked though, lol.
Well said. codyzz1234 will likely be along soon for another of his mindlessly obsessive rants. ?
elaborate? You mean rants that are 100 percent true?
The fact that they can’t differentiate a person hating Denuvo, versus a person hating some r*tard spamming Denuvo articles for clicks is a showcase of their intelligence.
That’s because Ubisoft loves the PC. When you love something you treat it like sh*t…
no LEGIT buyers/gamers don’t have to deal with anything
no DRM will save pc gaming from filthy pirate like durka durka
no Denuvo is not anti-consumer it’s anti pirate like zatra
good
you filthy pirate in disguise
riight, they didnt have to deal with anything at all when rainbow six vegas 2 crashed all the time and ubisoft patched it by using a crack. They didnt have to deal with bluescreens on far cry 2 due to securom. Personally i had to switch the game to use only one of my two cpu cores to avoid bluescreens when it came out on gog, i pirated the gog non drm exe, so i can make sure my game doesnt get any issues. We are talking about many years ago not recently, obviously i dont use a dualcore. You are right, From dust wasnt a buggy mess that ubisoft ended up removing the drm. Assasin’s creed 2 wasnt a huge problem for legit users because the game kept losing connection to the servers.
I could go on but you get my point.
there’s no god
So anti-consumer…How dare they expect you to actually purchase the game, and how dare they take steps to keep the entitled pirates from accessing software they stole
You actually misunderstood the whole point of my comment.
Good to know that Ubishit will use Denuvo again, so once again I’ll wait for Captain Jack Sparrow to dock the ship in the waters of Ubi!!!
My money that I would spend with these games with Ubisoft Denuvo, I will save for games without this crap DRM Denuvo!!!
What if I don’t agree to the DRM agreements?
Good question.
xd
Can we as gamers/consumers BOYCOTT denuvo DRM ?
We sure can by not buying the game and some of us do just that.
yes keep boycotting until all of them goes always online and multiplayer then stop gaming all together lol
by that time all games will be like destiny, in which case, i dont care about playing games, id rather play wasteland 3 and dusk.
Sure, then lets switch to an always online sort of check so that each and every game can be verified as a legal purchase OR perhaps Uplay could also require that you register for an account and you have to register the game or your unable to start it they can add in one time use codes for purchase verification….The entitled are NOT entitled to pirate a game just because they want to play it. IF you can’t purchase it then you have no business having access to the game.
You can’t install the game then. Simple.
you’re a pirate you don’t have any agreements
said the no arguments troll.
Spend your hard earned money elsewhere and then perhaps pick up the cracked version the following month.
They’ve run with 4 layers of DRM for Origins and it seems to have worked out for them, why stop at crippling PC performance when you only care about first week/month sales?.
They already have fanboys defending their port jobs, equating the bogged performance, almost as if each game they make is on an uber level of Crysis, despite their ports looking almost identical to the console versions.
Oh look at me NOT buying this game until it gets removed. I’ll get a better price and the game will most probably be better optimized.
Win win.
Actually, to be honest, I like playing “Assassin’s Creed Origins”.
The game isn’t THAT bad, especially the game’s setting and story line/Egypt, but I still haven’t finished playing it, aside from minor performance issues. Just my personal taste.
Can’t comment on FAR CRY 5’s gameplay and performance though. The Story seems a bit cliché, and the game sort of over-hyped.
..
Doesn’t matter, no one of value would play this (((progressive))) anti-white game anyways.
RE5 needed to put white people and change a cutscene of a blonde woman getting infected by a black zombie (they should have changed the white woman for black instead) as to not get called rayciss
having seen plenty of the game, thats not true, you kill blacks and bald feminists in the game. Polygon is mad about this because its not the christian killing simulator that they wanted.
according to game journos…yes.
putting a black kid in a sweatshirt is racist now.
You couldn’t, luckily I won’t. What proof do you have that I will buy it anyway ?
What proof do you have, that your entitled to pirate it and play it for free just because you weren’t going to buy it? You have no business playing the game if you don’t purchase it….
FC4 was not that good imo and FC:P was decent but bought on sale. IF I ever buy this one, I will be waiting for all the massive marketing HYPE to die down and the first Steam sale like I did with AC:O. I still haven’t purchased over-hyped games like that LotR skinned, lore breaking garbage Shadow of War or Destiny 2 – even on sale.
Hype cons the suckers.
yup, discount games. They dont worth full price.
Far Cry 5 will be using the Denuvo”
duh.. its ubisoft. Why people are suprised. Btw , i dont care about ubisoft games.
Yet either you care enough, OR your life is that pathetically worthless that you felt the need to click on an article, probably read the title at best and then immediately scroll down to comment…….Strange maybe its because im a rocket scientist, but when I don’t care about things, I don’t feel the need to race to said thing just to make a comment about how I don’t care…..
Good to know that Ubishit will use Denuvo again, so once again I’ll wait for Captain Jack Sparrow to dock the ship in the waters of Ubi!!!My money that I would spend with these games with Ubisoft Denuvo, I will save for games without this crap DRM Denuvo!!!
None of the over a dozen Denuvo protected games that I own have any issues which are specifically related to the DRM used, not even the “infamous” AC:O Denuvo with Denuvo/VMProtect combo has any issues. The game runs just fine. In most games I wouldn’t even know that it had Denuvo unless I read the EULA (or the “complaints” about it on reddit, the comments below and the inevitable replies that this post is gonna get)
Do any of the games that got cracked or the DRM officially removed, run any better? No. Could you actually tell in a side by side comparison which game has Denuvo and which doesn’t? No.
Would it be better if the game didn’t have any DRM? Yes. Does it actually matter to legit owners? No.
(P.S: Don’t confuse Denuvo with “Always Online” requirements, those are two separate issues and “Always Online” is something I do have a gripe with.)
And now, cue all the salty pirate replies.
“Do any of the games that got cracked or the DRM officially removed, run any better?”
Yes, Syberia 3 and Rime.
“Could you actually tell in a side by side comparison which game has Denuvo and which doesn’t?”
Yes.
“Does it actually matter to legit owners?”
Yes, not only Denuvo, Arxan and UWP as well, they limit your offline play (more power over you), after some time being offline they will force you to go online and check again. sometimes their servers are down, maybe in the future there will be no servers, remember GTA SA ? they removed some songs, how to avoid that ? don’t update. remember Fallout 4 and it’s paid mod and how to avoid that ? imagine if it had denuvo, it forces you to go online and update the game and boom there goes some of your mods.
“cue all the salty pirate replies”
Oh i said this line so whomever replies is a pirate. actually it doesn’t create that much of a problem for pirates since they can pirate all of these games and activate their games how many times they wish or wait for a crack.
Psychology says to never argue with stupid people. It’s more trouble than it’s worth…
psychology says alot, especially about people who think they are smart but arent.
the delusional pirate @disqus_gqfuA0S0Wi:disqus is back with his stupid delusional explanation no denuvo don’t affect any performance doom with and without drm runs same and just fine losers
pirate on this site blame it on drm as it stops them playing their games for free via torrent it’s not drm fault it developers don’t optimise their games the only excuse left with these pirate is rime and syberia 3 which were patched simultaneously when denuvo was removed hence performance difference but these are pirates they have to blame it drm so yeah
half the comments here are you calling john a pedo, get a life. both rime and syberia got the denuvo removed via patches.
Denuvo forces you to go Online, if there is a new game update/patch. You can’t play the game Offline.
if you think rise of the tomb raider runs fine, then i dont know what to say to you.
waste of money on the denuvo lol
Can we as gamers/consumers BOYCOTT denuvo DRM ?
Copy/paste, no !
You mean thieves, not gamers/consumers, BOYCOTT denuvo DRM
CPY with the save.
ahahhahahah pedo john is back with his denuvo clickbait lol
stop flagging my comments you pedo
Every Far Cry game has been cracked, and so will this one.
Assassin’s Creed Origins hasn’t been cracked it says HI……And scummy shitbags like you will be the exact reason gaming will go to an always online infrastructure just to verify that something is an actual verified purchase….
Well least we know pirates can play it in a few weeks after its out
I have money . But i wont buy it . Dose that make me a pirate kim karadasian ?
Why do you enable that id#ot? He wants attention. Block him and move on.
Bad news for Denuvo haters. Denuvo has been acquired by a big software company, Irdeto.
Sauce :
https://irdeto .com/media-and-entertainment/irdeto-acquires-denuvo-bringing-together-decades-of-security-expertise-to-protect-the-gaming-industry.html
It will still get emulated.. it is the way of things
Yeah, but it will take longer than normal(probably)
Maybe six months tops and then it will be as per usual.. with 4.8 denuvo emulated all of these games are now de-facto broken
And what does been acquired by another software company means?
The company that bought them is a big one. Which means they’ll have bigger team and funds to improve iterations of Denuvo which means it’ll be harder to crack(maybe)
“it’s the only way to ensure that great games continue to get made.”
hahahahaha right, because turds like destiny, battlefront 2, wolfenstein 2 do not sell becuase they dont have denuvo right? If we allow them to have COMPLETE AND UTTER CONTROL like ea wants to do with lootboxes, do you really think great games will be made? Do you think it will prevent the upcoming crash? Last year was basicly japan making a comeback. Western devs have buried themselved too deep in ea style corporate lootbox greed to be able to make great games.
so what? it will be cracked, time and time again
the only thing that Denovu is gonna succeed is making sure less customers buy game from crappy Publishers like EA and Ubisuck
You are aware that Assassin’s Creed Origins hasn’t been cracked right?
I look forward to watching the playthrough of this on YouTube.
By creating a Mass petition of some sort, to the Game developers and publishers to remove DENUVO from their game titles, if possible ?
Except that’s not a boycott, it’s a petition. One which no publisher will pay any attention to even if it gets a billion signatures, if it comes with a “we’ll buy the games anyway” attitude.
Petitions do nothing, publishers don’t care about something unless it hurts them in the pocket. Marketing is more effective than any stigma associated with Denuvo, especially considering the number of shills defending it on emotional grounds because “muh piracy is stealing”.
The only thing I can think of that could take down Denuvo is if it starts getting consistently cracked on day 1, so that publishers are literally paying for nothing.
If people effectively boycotted Denuvo games, that would work, but it’s never going to happen, there is not nearly enough push or resentment. The public can take a tremendous amount of punishment before they’re willing to fight back. I can’t think of any successful boycott in gaming, ever.
….
Is there a game DEMO coming up as well ?
Thanks for copy/paste….
Where is the topic about the ps4 being hacked?
This is a PC centric site, wait for emulators to pop up
well they have
PS4 and XBONE? don’t think so
Why does “Kim Kardashian West” hate everyone on this website, and claims that we all are pirates ?
tell him that the ps4 has been hacked and there are pirated games for it
DENUVO + MINING = Cancer of PCgaming !!
No Pirates who feel that they have some right to play something because they want to with no need to actually purchase said something are the cancer…..
You can’t reason with a troll. Just leave him to his attention whoring.
Proof? Nah didn’t think so.
that user is a alt acount of some troll that got banned which was a alt acount of some troll that was banned which is some alt acount…you get it.
Block him if you want becuase john has decided not to censor anyone.
I thought we got to vote for the no censor thing?
You people seems to forget that denuvo is not made to kill pc piracy that is impossible , with ps4 being hacked console piracy will now start to stretch its legs.. Denuvo was made to protect first week sales..
so much for Ubisoft’s statement of “PC is the lead platform for innovation”
innovation… yeah DRM is totally innovative
putting malware into honest cuckstomers PC from your atrocious Ucrash launcher
so innovative.. so.. Ubiconic…
Np for me. I’m patient.
Great news.
Yet AGAIN…. There’s still been ZERO proof that the DRM was the cause of the heavy CPU requirements in Origins.
No doubt that heavy CPU usage is present in Origins, but it wouldn’t be the first AC title on PC to use more resources than it should. Just because an additional DRM measure on top of Denuvo happened to be discovered this time around, everyone decided to start blaming the poor performance of an AC game on DRM instead of other, historically proven optimization culprits, and why? Because people love hating on DRM.
If my game purchases could perform better with the removal of DRM, wouldn’t I want it removed? Yes, I absolutely would, but without proof that it’s the cause of poor performance, why does it really matter? Ubisoft made much more money from sales because no one was able to pirate Origins quickly enough after its release. Why wouldn’t a profit-seeking company repeat their successes? DRM can’t be “intrusive” unless it gets in your way of doing what you intend to do. If you don’t “see” the DRM, and you have zero proof that it’s affecting or degrading your performance, how can you argue that it’s “intrusive”?
The day someone can remove the DRM from Origins and prove that it’s much less computationally intensive without it, I’ll join in with this crowd of DRM-bashing players, but until then, it’s just the trendy scapegoat for performance problems in a PC game, even when it seems far more likely that Ubisoft just released another PC title that was heavily lacking in optimization, considering 80% everyone of their PC releases in history have done the same.
It will be interesting to see if they use the same VMProtect/Denuvo combination in Far Cry 5 that brought them success in Origins. Though it still won’t be proof of anything, leaving the DRM out this time would heavily imply that they know it caused performance issues with Origins and they don’t want to chance the negative publicity of causing it again. On the other hand, if they do include the same DRM method and the game runs just fine, then that’s heavily implicit as well of something altogether different. I realize that Dunia and Anvil are two different things and can’t be compared identically, but neither have been friendly to current generation CPU’s so I think it’s a fair enough analysis metric for whether or not Ubisoft’s new DRM trends are a detriment to game performance or mostly negligible in their impact.
Please see how VMPortect works.
I know how it functions. A conceptual understanding of the technology though is not evidence that it’s the cause of poor performance one way or the other. Without measuring performance in the DRM’s absence, there is no proof.
This is true, although by nature of what virtual machine does, I am fairly certain the hit is there. As soon as Ubi will patch it away (if ever), benchmarks will start flying in.
“”But calling the site owner a ped, well that is starting to cross the line”‘…..
+1. Totally agree on that.
