Intel has just launched its new Alder Lake desktop CPUs. However, and as we’ve already reported, these CPUs could have compatibility issues with a number of DRMs. And, as Intel confirmed, there are currently 32 Denuvo games that do not work with it.
This information comes from PCGamer. As Intel told them, it has yet to resolve an issue with Denuvo on Alder Lake for 32 games, which was causing issues playing these games on the platform.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is one of the games that appears to have stability issues. PCGamer could not run this game on their system, and Intel told them that they are working with Ubisoft on a fix. Despite that, it appears that the game can run on other Intel Alder Lake systems. For instance, PCGameshardware has benchmarks for both Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion.
This could be why numerous publishers and developers have been removing Denuvo from their games lately.
Square Enix and Crytek have removed Denuvo from NieR Replicant Remaster & Crysis Remastered. Additionally, 2K Games has removed Denuvo from Mafia: Definitive Edition. Not only that, but Bandai Namco has removed this anti-tamper tech from Tekken 7 and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.
Stay tuned for more!

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa I’ll never buy a game while it uses this trash
even not buying one and getting it the other way is dangerous because those bypass cracks wont work on new machnies.
what if i told you >.>.. you didnt have to use denuvo and could still play the game? shhh its called piracy <,<
You ask companies like ubisoft if it was worth it making games possibly unplayable in the future and they will respond with “look we will fix it, we patched crashes on rainbow six vegas 2 with a crack”
Good news of the year…
Good, let they do it. It’s not like I care for those trash new pozzed games.
All intel shill on ytube “INTEL IS NEW GAME KING!”. But look like king is naked and has no games.
And people defended this garbage software
You also apparently need Windows 11 to take advantage of new CPU. So you have all the Windows 11 issues on top of it.
Can’t wait for the dot com bubble 2.0 at this point.
You don’t need Windows 11. You can use beta of Ubuntu 2022 with new Linux kernel 5.15 which was released 3 day ago. This kernel have basic support of Alder Lake and should be stable on that CPU

reason #99485498493 to hate denuvo
B-based Intel??
great, let’s disable 1/3 of the cpu for no real reason.
pirates, kinda have a point now.
We can hate it but the truth is denuvo did its job protecting Deathloop
And where is your imperial Data that DENUVO protects anything. I wanna see studies. Because you’re the same people that says DENUVO protects first window of sales when games like just cause 4 & hitman 2 was cracked before it’s release, so what did DENUVO protect in that case. C’mon let’s SEE these studies of yours. Sekiro only had steam DRM was cracked day one and still was the highest selling game that year on steam.
My data is me not being able to pirate this. In this way preventing me to play it, denuvo did it’s job. If that’s good or bad for the bottom line of the game remains debatable
I hate calling people a troll.i don’t agree with because it’s highly dismissive and not a talking point. But only a troll would quadruple down like your did after finding out that, “32 Denuvo games are not compatible with Intel’s new Alder Lake CPUs”. You sir are a god damn clown.
what does denuvo not being compatible with latest intel cpu have to do with how for some games denuvo proved to prevent first or more month piracy. thats a fact. Also where is deathloop, the game i posted for. Is it cracked ? No. Why. Because denuvo. F*k off
Resident Evil 2 – 9M copies sold. Cracked on day-one
Resident Evil 3 – 5M copies sold. Cracked after 6 months
Thank you Denuvo, you sure made RE3 sell more, because piracy is baaaad
Excellent analysis. Just bravo man. ??
No it didn’t, because the people who weren’t going to buy the game didn’t buy it. If you have a good game people act as free advertising who pirate the game and those people are usually jobless and have a lot of time on their hands. All Denuvo does is steal money from mediocre games. It’s a big red flag that the game is bad or that the dev has no confidence in it..
Case in point. Probably 1/4 of the people who kiss Witcher 3’s butt on forums? Pirated it and bought it later on discount. Those weren’t lost sales, they are free shilling and advertising that will never go away. Not that Witcher 3 needed shills, it was a great game, which is why it didn’t have this crap to begin with. But…those pirates brigading forums made CDPR A LOT of money.
I think they know that and do denuvo just so even if they weren’t gonna buy it they can’t play it. It’s mostly out of spite. Also some cave to the waiting and end up buying it
“. All Denuvo does is steal money from mediocre games. It’s a big red flag that the game is bad or that the dev has no confidence in it..”
More likely reason: Boomer executives and/or shareholders of these AAA companies, who’re clueless about the reality of PC customer behaviour, insist upon having the DRM. Usually none of these Boomers are gamers themselves, so they’re ignorant of their actual customers and said customers’ environment.
Remember when Ubisoft claimed that 95% of PC gamers are pirates?

A*s pulls from dreamland are common for these Boomers.
The comical thing is the next year they said that they wanted to work more closely with the PC gaming community to give PC gamers what they want.
Why was it so important to protect that trash dumb flop of the year???
Perfect example why game preservation is so important.
There’s also AMD, you know?
Denuvo is about as useful to Publishers as a screen door on a submarine.
It’s way past time for it to go away.
Funny how a little change can make DRM obsolete just like starforce on the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory DVD and Windows 8 and up
What’s the point of disabling the e-cores ?
they are the brand new “must-have” features… why disable them ?

The list
So many remove the broken DRM while UBI keeps it, even when it screws over their paying customers… kind of telling where their priority’s lie and what to expect – If stupid enough to purchase their titles in the future

Thanks Denuvo for bricking these hardware and games, the new Ted Kazinsky
I missed the part where this is my problem.
I dont allow denuvo in my system.
