Back in January, a certain group was able to crack Denuvo 4.8. Normally we wouldn’t be interested in newer games being cracked, however, Assassin’s Creed Origins is a very special case. And that’s because Ubisoft has used VMProtect on top of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech in an effort to further protect it. And from the looks of it, this combination has also been cracked.
As always, we won’t allow links to the cracked version. Moreover, you should know that this is most likely a bypass crack, meaning that Denuvo is still working in the background. As such, you should not expect any performance improvements at all. The only way we may get an idea of the Denuvo CPU impact is when a group will be able to completely crack it, or when and if Ubisoft completely removes it.
It’s also worth pointing out that Denuvo has already released a new version of its anti-tamper tech, Denuvo 5.0. This version has already been used in Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite and future titles – like Far Cry 5 – will most likely be using it.
The good news for Ubisoft and Denuvo is that this combination was able to protect the game’s sales for more than three months. Now if Denuvo 5.0 is as hard to crack as Denuvo 4.8, the companies may also be able to protect their future games for the next two months at least.
It will be interesting to see whether Ubisoft will remove its protection system from Assassin’s Creed Origins now that the game has been cracked. If history is any indication, though, we are almost certain that the French company won’t do anything at all. After all, Watch_Dogs 2 – another title suffering from extreme CPU usage – is still using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Ubisoft has stated that its protection does not have any perceptible effect on performance. Still, we’d really love to test and see for ourselves whether the Denuvo+VMProtect combination does not bring any additional performance impact at all.

Why did you have to summon thee?
And yet I still don’t care for this game…
Yeah how i wished they had cracked DBZ instead of this.
Wow really? The game runs at 4K on a 970 maxed out…. And you are wanting a well optimized fighter to be cracked? Why even bother PC gaming if you can’t even support games that deserve the support.
Because i don’t support denuvo. I have a lot of games that have Denuvo and they bought me a lot of headache, so never again.
No you don’t
Can you explain how Denuvo has ACTUALLY affected you in the games you’ve owned?
You’re not allowed to cite examples of speculation that Denuvo MAY affect performance if you can’t prove with examples of Denuvo present and Denuvo not present.
It’s still speculation up to this point that Denuvo/VMProtect is the cause of the demanding CPU requirements of this title, but it still has yet to be proven. I look forward to a release when the DRM is properly removed so we can know for sure how much it really affects performance.
But I’m so sick of people talking about how much they despise big evil corporations for using DRM to protect their intellectual property that THEY PAID FOR with salaries, when they really have no examples of why the DRM actually affects them when they actually bought the game, other than joining the DRM-hating bandwagon that millennials like to jump on these days.
Unless you can prove that it’s affecting your experience or performance somehow, how is this kind of DRM any different than those magnetic sensors inside of retail packaging at your average store that causes the sensors to go off if you leave the building without it being deactivated? It doesn’t remotely affect you or the product you bought at all, but it helps the company to protect some of their investments, which is the same thing you’d want to do in their shoes.
“But I’m so sick of people talking about how much they despise big evil corporations for using DRM to protect their intellectual property that THEY PAID FOR with salaries, when they really have no examples of why the DRM actually affects them when they actually bought the game, other than joining the DRM-hating bandwagon that millennials like to jump on these days.”
Where have you been the last 7 years moron?
There are so many examples of bad drm and bad practises.
Seriously do we have to repeat ourselves all the time? Cant you get the memo? Millienials? You mean you had drm and such horrible business practises in the 80s and 90s?
Please fill me in on how DRM has ravaged the gaming community then. I don’t mean this sarcastically either. I genuinely would like someone with more information on the subject to enlighten me.
I probably should have specified, that always-online DRM I have huge disagreements with and didn’t intend to blanket it by just using the term “DRM”. But I have seen so much complaint against DRM being the cause of poor performance with so little evidence, that I can’t help but wonder if the current generation of entitlement that thinks there should be equality of outcome for all and that they have the right to free s*** are the ones behind all of this outrage because they want another excuse to get things for free. Maybe I’m equating two entirely unrelated issues and I deserve reprimand and correction, but I just haven’t personally witnessed these “terrible effects of DRM” in reality. Theoretically, DRM is a terrible idea for performance-minded players, but again, I haven’t seen a profound effect on performance in practice.
really? You want me to go on securom. starforce, ac2 always online? From dust, rainbow six vegas 2, freaking windows live. Install limits Come on.
Yes, I really would like you to go on. I’ve already mentioned I do disagree with online-DRM requirements, and I also agree that install limits are bogus as well, but all the other games you mentioned… Other than mentioning their titles, you didn’t really elaborate on the DRM troubles they had specifically. Half of the titles you mentioned I never played so if you could go on, it would be very helpful.
google the games and the drm. You will see the problems.
I’m not trying to be rude here, but it’s you who is making the argument so the burden of evidence is on you. Asking the other person in the argument to leave the discussion and “Google it” is not a valid talking point. It’s your interpretation of the evidence that matters in your side of the argument, not mine .
It’s amazing how much you remind me of someone I recently came across in a Discord chat….. They said much the same things you did, so when I actually provided them with proof, they went on to nitpick at the wording on the links I provided them with, and even went so far as to question the sources themselves, based on arbitrary values they randomly came up with.
Is this some new fad I have to worry about? 😐
You haven’t provided me with any proof or references of anything thus far for me to have rejected or manipulated. I assure you I’m not substituting empiricism with semantics. When making a case for something, details are very important and speaking in generalities is not productive. I haven’t nitpicked anyone’s words. The only thing I’ve done is ask for more of them so I can better understand the positions you hold.
Asking someone to Google facts that they are using in an argument instead of reciting them yourself calls into question that person’s actual understanding or recollection of those facts, unless it’s just laziness. But I haven’t even been given any sources to “nitpick words” as you say. I’ve just been asked to Google a topic instead of being provided an analysis of those facts by a person attempting to use them to make their argument.
Sure thing. See i don’t live in a 1° world country, so when a i moved a while back i stayed without internet for 3 months because f#ck my country.
Now normaly that would not be a problem i have my games some series and movies to ocupy me so it’s all good, but then when i tried to open some of my games, to be more precise MGSV among others it refuses to open requiring a internet connection, wich is weird since the rest of my games was working fine and these were SP games, later i found out that the requirement to a internet connection was because those games HAD DENUVO.
Now i’m talking about MY experience. Those games were SP they DID NOT NEED the internet connection to work but even if they did, they DID NOT STATE on the store page that internet connection WAS NECESSARY.
While sure is still speculation that denuvo is the reason to the game CPU “problems”, is very naive to believe that a VM protection along a with 2 DRMs would not cause any performance hit AT ALL.
I also would like to point that is also speculation that piracy has an affect on sales AT ALL. Since you know it also can’t be proven with examples that Piracy or Denuvo has any affect on game sales at ALL.
I completely agree with you – I should have specified in regards to online-DRM that I disagree with it completely. That is a legitimate example of negative DRM.
I was more referring to the claim that it’s a detriment to game performance, because that’s where there seems to be so little evidence.
I also agree with you that theoretically, using a VM just to decrypt every line of code as it executes sounds like something that would very likely affect performance. But not being an expert on the matter or seeing any evidence that it actually does, I resolve to still label the idea speculation that it’s the cause of high CPU usage in AC Origins. I’m more than happy to agree with you when evidence arises that it is in fact a factor. But until then, I’m skeptical, because as I’ve mentioned before, nearly every AC title has had identical performance problems as this one, long before Denuvo was being used in Ubisoft titles.
I’m not reinforcing the idea that there is a guaranteed return on investment to devs with DRM. They’re trying everything they can to ensure there is, and that’s the part I sympathize with. I don’t speculate as to how many more sales they really gain from using it.
Kindly push off. Consumers paid for the right to own their games fully. Paid for with the THEIR own money and salaries. What gives Capitalist’s the right to get money for free? When you sell the product, it’s not longer yours. What gives you the right to pretend you never sold the product, after you were paid?
—
Any honest trade, involves giving the full value/ownership of a product to a trader, in exchange for the amount of cash requested. If not, then the trade is dishonest. Don’t even twist things by using the false “nobody is forced” argument. Doesn’t mean you can cheat somebody means you should.
I agree that you should be able to do whatever you want with something after you purchase, including removing DRM from your copy of said purchase. I’m not against people cracking games solely for this purpose either, nor have I said so before.
“What gives capitalists the right to get money for free” – this question makes no sense to me? In the case of Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft would be the capitalist I suppose – they have a right to create and brand something that isn’t already legally copyrighted and they then have the right to sell that product to any consumer willing to pay for the product. Are you saying that because the game has already been made and distributing copies of the software no longer has any cost (aside from the obvious bandwidth requirements supporting digital downloads) that they are getting consumers’ money “for free”?? They spent millions of dollars on the salaries of employees and developers that voluntarily signed up for the job to contribute to the game for an agreed salary, not to mention all of the non-monetary, intangible resources contributed to large scale products like a AAA title. They’re hardly “getting your money for free” when they make sales after they’ve sunken millions into creating the game.
Also, you could have just said everything that you just did to further our discussion and arguments without telling me to push off. How is this productive for either party if someone you’re in disagreement with just “pushes off”? I wasn’t harassing anyone with my previous comment. I’m trying to discuss this issue with people that don’t agree with me to understand it better than I do because it’s so controversial.
That’s because you seem to be saying DRM is good in many of your posts. And it’s a lie that Denuvo is anti-tamper. Because once the game is executed, it straight away calls to it’s server for permission before it will allow the game to be run.
Most reasonable people do agree that game companies can put DRM for awhile to protect the sales window, and remove it thereafter to be fair to their customers.
I’ve never stated that DRM is “good”.
I’ve defended the position of companies that feel they need to use it, and I’m calling into question the existence of any actual proof that Denuvo is the root cause behind performance issues in the titles it’s used in. I’m extremely performance-minded and I have no desire for something added into the games I play that might lower my frame rate. That being said, I’m not going to just default to believing “it must be the DRM” merely because it makes hypothetical sense, especially if I can’t actually prove it. That’s not to say that games shouldn’t be cracked and it be properly tested as to whether or not it is actually having an affect on performance, and when it does, I think that should be brought to the game publishers and taken very seriously.
Every time there’s a performance problem in a game though, if it includes any form of DRM like Denuvo, everyone immediately starts shouting “It’s the DRM, it’s the DRM!” even when there isn’t an iota of proof that the DRM is the cause. How many other games do you know of that had serious performance issues that didn’t use any form of DRM like Denuvo or VMProtect?
What I’m getting at is, it’s the DRM is neither innocent nor is it guilty of what everyone blames it for until it’s proven one way or the other in each title it’s included in. It has not had an appreciable enough effect in the titles I’m aware for it to be axiomatic that DRM always be associated with major performance loss as a default. There’s plenty of other possible causes of performance loss beyond DRM and just because it’s present doesn’t mean it’s the culprit. It also does not mean it is not the culprit either, unless it’s proven so one way or the other.
DRM means even though you paid for the product, it isn’t yours. Before I
can use the product, I have the call up the seller as if I didn’t pay
for the product, and ask for permission to run the program, which I paid
for. What a whole bunch of nonsense.
If you believe in
DRM, you better stand by you what you say, by putting DRM on everything
you own, including your house and car. Put a massive lock on your house
and car, which can only unlocked or taken down when you call up the
developer/previous owner/car dealership. And if they refuse to answer
your call? Too bad. You can sleep outside on the roadside till they ever
decide to unlock your house/car door, even though you paid for your
property.

I will be against so-called “piracy”, if all games
are sold on GOG and fully updated and patched. Because consumer rights
are respected. Till then, the piracy eco-system provides a much needed
balance.
Dude you are full of it.
I’m full huh ? Because i disagre with you ? Just because i opose Denuvo i must be a “filthy lying pirate” right ?

Now this is because i don’t even suport Denuvo imagine if i did.
I wished they didn’t put Denuvo in it period. What’s the point of having the game cracked anyway… I want to play the game for the multiplayer godammit.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!!
I know how u feel, i got the same way when Tekken launched.
and i wish they cracked watch dogs 2 for one simple reason, watchdogs 2 with all the dlc costs over 200 $.
I just want them to send a message to ubisoft who seems to have gone insane with microtransactions, heck i dont even care about the game.
I tought they had cracked already, did i miss something ?
not with the dlcs.
Eh, DBZ is the better game, but the “F*CK YOU” factor we get from getting to shove a cracked VMProtect + Denuvo combination into U-BE-SOFT’s face is priceless ^^
Kim Kardashian West in meltdown! ?

Too funny!
it really isn’t about the sales in the first place people who don’t buy don’t deserve to play
i just came here too see your tears. Cry more!!!
LOL. Yeah what a F*CKN LOOSER!
To hell with everything DRM. It just hurt the user, and the monkeys that keep using it believes it boost sales.
They all live in fairy land. A good game thats DRM free is the only way!!
Seems that Snake-Oil still sells even in the 21st century! ¯_(?)_/¯
I actually do agree with this statement.
I am going to pirate the f#ck out of this game! And there is nothing you can do about it!
“it really isn’t about the sales in the first place”
“people who don’t buy don’t deserve to play”
Dafuq.
yes you pirate zatra idiot
you don’t deserve to play
I have a Youtube channel already… The only game I “pirated” from last year was Sonic Forces… and I made Youtube video on it… more of a $hitpost…
The video is called “End my suffering.mp4″… I’m glad I didn’t spend a dime on that thing and got A Hat in Time and Redout for the price of Sonic Forces. 😀
Also, my worthless Youtube channel will have 1k subs soon… it already has 1 million views… Didn’t really care for subs, but you know the Youtube Creator Program update requirements…
It was kind of like a badge of honor of mine to have so many views with so little subs. :))

Uwp cant take over till win 32 exists
WIN 7 WILL DIE SOON MS IS FOCUSING ON UWP IT THE FUTURE
THEY WILL DROP WIN32
Win 32 is in win 10 and again uwp is not a drm…
WIN32 IS IN WIN10 I KNOW THAT THEY WILL DROP JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH OFFICE’19 THEY DON’T EVEN CARE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THEY HAVE SHIFT THE FOCUS ON UWP
YES IT’S NOT A UWP A DRM BUT IT BUT IT HAVE BETTER PROTECTION MEASURE
Again they cant drop win 32 the damn micro solutions are built around it
just like UWP is built around Win32. MS would have to make a whole new OS if they wanted to ditch Win32 anyways… oh what if Windows 10 is Beta for UWP… 😀
Could be
Pretty sure it is. Look at all the moves MS has been doing. Xbox 1 / PC now Xbox X / PC exclusives heading to Windows store… Everything under windows. MS has it’s own ecosystem like Apple only instead of music / movies it’s games.
Plus the more things MS buys like they like to do. The less their competition can have. Since MS figures a person will buy it on Xbox X or PC.
Just because you type in caps does not make you right. Besides UWP is built on Win32 to begin with
UWP have built in DRM at Windows Kernel level… and kernel integrity is protected by hardware CPU at runtime (CRC of memory) and by UEFI at startup.
No single UWP game have ever been cracked. Kernel level protection in UWP is way more secure than and file level protection like Denuvo
To crack UWP you need modify Windows Kernel… and this is something very hard. And if you ever crack Windows Kernel then MS will force update to all users of Windows 10 to remove all dangerous files trying to modify Windows Kernel. UWP have best DRM ever
Um dude uwp games have been by-passed already
Sorry you can’t by-pass Windows Kernel. And you can’t change kernel files if you have UEFI. Sorry… no single UWP game are ever cracked. No Gears or Forza for pirates
Deal lord you ppl are stupid immensely.. quantum break was by-passed day two on uwp..- f off already with all your BS
Its stupid that you think windows cannot be hacked.
to be honest there aren’t good enough games for cracking xD
You have no idea what you’re talking about, hacking and cracking is all about modifying, the kernel is software that can be attacked and has vunerablilites. Where did you get information that UWP games havn’t been cracked?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/04f4fab5810cdbac049074e3578ae26521f301212bc2cdd87b0da436d7ee0552.jpg
Nope.
and? You say 64 bit exes are not cracked? Or you think the industry is gonna keep heading the way its heading? Hint, it wont.
KKW, the CEO of Denuvo so desperate to beat the pirates, LMAO!
Let me remind you that UWP games like Quantum Break and Forza Horizon 3 were cracked by random non scene people. Scene haven’t even touched UWP yet and UWP is much easier to crack than Denuvo.
also i think something happened to that other game that has robots, i dont remember.
SOOO you say UWP cant be cracked? Sounds like a challenge
this was written almost every time a game gets cracked, only for denuvo to release a new version that takes time to get cracked, and now that denuvo has a company that’s backing them up with money, it’s hard to see them go away anytime soon
Yeah, I know that. It’s true, but at least some progress has being made by the hackers.

I hope ubisoft removes that crap now. I own the game and it has some issues on my 1700x and 1080ti, which it shouldn’t
“I hope ubisoft removes that crap now.”
They havent removed it from far cry primal they wont remove it even after the game is cracked.
Don’t worry even crack version issues with push cpu to max.

Oh, even MrSquifler ? I think he is a different legit user ?
He’s certainly “different”.
his opinions are too stupid to be legit.
MrSquifter is too stupid even for a normie, he must be a troll.
If you really back up the games you download with illegitimate means by purchasing the title legitimately, I have no quarrel with this practice if it’s truly to bypass a downside to DRM that somehow affects you.
Do let us know if there’s actually a significant performance difference if you’ve already downloaded the cracked version. I’m anxious to know the truth behind this tiring argument instead of the pre-disposed speculation I see in every comments section of an article mentioning the word “Denuvo” or “DRM”.
If it really does improve performance to bypass the DRM, you’ll see no hesitation on my behalf to go and downloaded the cracked copy. Since I’ve already purchased a legitimate copy, I deserve a version of the game with the best possible performance.
I’m just not going to accuse Ubisoft of depriving their paying customers of that until there’s demonstrable proof.
By buying a legit copy you have indirectly supported Denuvo.
If PC gamers are clearly more intelligent than consoles gamers, they would either bombard the game with negative Steam reviews or just boycott it.
I gave a negative review as well.
i’m sure you do

Too funny!
Being against Denuvo doesn’t mean one is anti-capitalist.
Perhaps it’s more productive for Mr. Ritsuka to specify what he is declaring war on.
Quite contrarily, if Denuvo were actually being proven to disrupt consumer experiences and hamper performance, then I’d consider its inclusion very anti-capitalistic and anti-consumeristic of Ubisoft.
But I got the impression he was declaring war on companies that make you pay for their software by using DRM.
why do you talk like a Brit with a monocle.
Is the manner in which I speak relevant to the argument?
I happen to be from Manchester and have a glass eye so you described me perfectly .
not really I just wanted to say that lol.
Goddamn I’m good if you are a brit.
Also for his “declaring war” statement. He’s declaring war on Denuvo. If you browse the reddit forums that “war” stuff is often stated. For pirates its a war against DRM because its preventing them from getting sh*t free.
Saying “the war is not yet lost ” is because CPY haven’t released a crack in months. Which I guess you wouldn’t have noticed due to the amount of Denuvo articles john pumps out. John is linked to an IV machine that pumps Denuvo into his bloodstream.
I’m joking. I’m from Memphis and have two organic eyes .
So as far as the gripes with DRM, I understand past issues with always online requirements and install limits. But Denuvo is completely different. It’s not something you ever see or ever bump into (unless you’re a pirate obviously). It doesn’t require you to be online, it doesn’t interfere with your ability to play a game whatsoever. Why are people so against it when in a way, it should be celebrated, considering it’s finally a form of DRM that does NOT do all of the negative things that previous DRM’s have in the past?
The only pattern I see is that people are convinced it hurts game performance, but that has rarely been proven and no one can quantify how much it really does or does not affect your frame rate in a game. This is why I hold such an unpopular opinion on this issue, because I don’t choose to assume that poor performance in a title MUST be related to Denuvo simply because it’s present if there is no empirical evidence to show that it’s actually affecting performance.
If Ubisoft uses the Denuvo/VMProtect combo again on the upcoming Far Cry 5, it will be a good indicator of whether or not this new DRM cocktail is actually a CPU’s worst nightmare. The Dunia engine in Far Cry ever since 3 has always had some weird CPU utilization issues and has often been single-threaded, but it’s never brought CPU’s to their knees on all cores like Origins does.
“if Denuvo were actually being proven to disrupt consumer experiences and hamper performance”
I’m confused. Are we still pretending there isn’t evidence to that because it suits us to do so, or are we actually ignorant as to the proof’s existence?
Because, seriously….. Get with the times already.
OK, LOOK….
I am not trying to ignore actual evidence if it exists.
I am ASKING you to assume I’m completely ignorant of the cases that Denuvo is affecting your ability to play the game or affect performance and kindly PROVIDE me with the evidence you are aware of that I am obviously unaware of instead of just saying “there’s evidence, there’s evidence, there’s evidence; just look it up.”
I will gladly update my views with any valid examples you can provide me with. A simple citation and brief explanation of how each example affects the consumer or performance is more than adequate; I can research the details myself. I’m not asking for sources even or a research paper. A detailed enough summary of the examples as you understand them should be more than enough for me to look them up myself and read more.
I just want everyone to stop shouting ambiguities such as “Why are you ignoring the evidence?” and “get with the times already” and instead provide me with the actual evidence you clearly know so much about instead of just references to it.
I’m not an expert on the subject. You may very well know information I don’t. I’m not at all denying that your evidence exists either; I’m just unaware of it and I’m merely asking you to make me aware of what it is you know.
If it makes you feel good, then great, but I really fail to see how name-calling is productive.
No one is denying anyone’s freedom here. You have the freedom not to buy the product, though you don’t technically have the freedom to obtain it illegally, but that’s a different conversation. I’m not here to condemn pirates – I’d be incriminating myself in a few instances to do so, though I pretty much always pay for software these days.
How do “gamers rights” differ from consumer rights? They’re no different than anyone else’s nor are they entitled to a special set of rights. You sound like a feminist.
“Why are you gathered here in Washington today making such commotion and wearing those obnoxious vaginal hats?”
“Because… WOMENS RIGHTS!”
And thus was the most anyone interviewed could say for themselves on that fateful day… Save, Ashley Judd and the details of her average menstural cycle.
Nonsense. If someone has the “freedom” to not pay for the product, then someone has the “freedom” to get the product “for free”. You don’t cherry-pick your freedoms. Although as many have pointed out, the product is not gotten illegally. Because someone legally purchased it, and shared it kindly (free-sharers, not the scam paid ones).
But a cave-man woman hater, will of course be quick to deny anyone freedom and property rights, cause they are capitalist communists. Freedom, property rights, consumer rights and welfare for the corporations and capitalist business people. Anyone else that want the same? They are now feminists, communists, socialists or some such nonsense.
Im against all form of DRM’s.
Whatever, i just wish for games to be cracked just to see kim kardashian raging. Seriously its more entairtaining that downloading 50gb of awfuly optimized recycled lootbox simulators.
The games don’t really get much smaller when they’re cracked though do they?
The distributors just end up using really high compression on the containers they’re seeded in.
Most games I’ve downloaded through the aforementioned means have been significantly small to download, but when unpacked, they take up as much space as the game is known to require.
Cracking a game also does not make it more “optimized”, sadly. If it did, I’d have a huge library of pirated games. We’ll have to see if removing Origins’ DRM really makes a difference. Until then, there’s no reason to believe that the cracked version will perform any differently.
..””The games don’t really get much smaller when they’re cracked though do they?””……..
I think some of the cracked REPACK games, are much smaller in size, than their original counterparts, imo.
“Repacks” are usually kind of compressed, though they take helluva time to install on the PC, lol.
Repacking is not cracking lol. So yes games don’t get smaller when they’re cracked.
Obviously, I know that. When did I say, repacking is equivalent to cracking ?
I meant to say, that Repack is a format of an already cracked game, in a compressed form, which can be smaller in size, in some cases (IMO).
They take helluva time to install on YOUR vegetable. 50GB repack game installs in less than 20 minutes on my PC. Get a job, upgrade your CPU
I’m still pretty much happy with my i7 4790 CPU……
“The games don’t really get much smaller when they’re cracked though do they?”
My argument is that seeing that troll raging is more fun than downloading 50gb, legaly or illegaly…of unoptimized lootbox infested borring repettive trash….AAA industry is going to the trash.
I have them blocked. I can’t be dealing with they’re autism.
But autistic trolls like KKW are so entertaining and so easy to out troll!

THANKS FOR YOUR PIRACY INSIGHT YOU FILTHY PIRATE LOSER
Are You MAD Bro!!! :v :v
are you a dirty thief bro!! :v :v
yes you are
so is john then, because he knows this information, oh wait there is a site called NFOhump that you can get this information without pirating anything.
there’s a very small percentage (really tiny) of people who look for piracy info that aren’t pirate themselves, why else would you be looking for that type of information if you’re not a pirate or a journalist?
Um, the owner of this site is a low key pirate supporter you know? That’s why he keeps announcing when a game is cracked regardless of Denuvo version.
he could be an ex-pirate or just really interested in getting rid off denuvo, either way he gets keys from developers so i don’t know.
The 3 theories I have are.
1. He doesn’t actually care about Denuvo and stuff, but he posts numerous articles about it because he knows thats what gets the clicks and comments rolling. This AC:Orgins articles has 180+ comments already.
2. He’s actually a pirate himself and most people who browse this site (like 70 percent) are pirates, and he’s lowkey trying to condone piracy.
3. He hates DRM immensely, hence he posts non stop articles about Denuvo, whether or not the information is old or new.
I personally don’t give a f*ck is he’s any of that. I just want him to stop this “I’m neutral towards this” act he’s portraying and come out of the closet. Just link us the cracks pls, you announcing when a game is cracked is almost the same thing. All you do for us is save us a google search.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f3cc4618d8efdfb795bcce9c9fd49de460ad7c095ecfc511256ea1cd6ff3ced.png
that’s my exact 3 theories and i think it’s combination of first one and the third one plus the fact that he’s an ex-pirate. (might still be pirating some stuff though)
well he is getting clicks, a man’s gotta eat i guess. i’m not mad though, if you’re running a website you’re supposed to get the clicks and he’s doing it.
John is linked to an IV machine that pumps Denuvo into his bloodstream.
Or, as i suspect he is the CEO of Denuvo and very upset right now because every version of Denuvo ends up getting cracked!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9aa049f3b73fccafa68df95870c5ce9e2d919d7a007ec683ae57e58374250e83.jpg
Hahaha he’ll have to resort to a bake sale once Denuvo v5.x gets cracked.
His intelligence would match that position.
Legally it’s not the same thing. Nobody can blame you if you just talk about DRM, piracy, etc. It’s just an interesting topic. Linking cracked games is another story, he can’t do that without consequences. Be reasonable.
he needs to be reasonable too and understand the difference between spamming Denuvo articles and showing actual news about Denuvo. Which he has repeatedly done in the past.
John is posting those articles, people discuss about it, i read up on it, then i read stupid crap on the comments so i google those things.Seriously last AAA game i pirated is from….2014. You can guess which piece of trash it was.
He mad he very mad.

There is just no win against the pirate scene , no matter how good the protection it will be by-passed
ALWAYS ONLINE HARDWARE BASED UWP ETC ARE THE WIN AGAINST THE PIRATES
Uwp is not a damn drm.. what is with you and all caps.. uwp is not the leading standard in pc gaming
You don’t know our latest troll? It’s like a pet.
the day games become always online with microtrasnactions, multiplayer focused and uwp, i will stop playing games.
Actually I think CDProjekt RED succeeded against piracy. They made good games worth your support and put the responsibility of continued and improved work on us. That, to me, is far more effective than Denuvo.
I mean the crack scene
I don’t care if they’re worth my support though lol.
I pirated Wicher 3 back in 2016 and even after putting 72 hours in the game I still didn’t buy it. Cause you know, I got it for free olol.
Why should I give my money to people who worked day and night for years in making the game? I can’t believe they actually have the nerve to charge me 60 USD for some 9/10 game? ROFL Wadafaq are you selling me? Half Life 3? ROFL.
Worst trolling ever….. and we have Kim, man….that’s saying a lot.
Kim is god level. I’m following his footsteps trying to carry on his legacy when John bans him.
There are sooo many games, years old without any crack. Many developers know how to make protected games. I’ll just leave it here
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/129311c49765daa9848848fa42a1cd71a684e402f4f946d096b63a45e89ea207.jpg
Um dude destiny 2 is a online shooter , so is division , and swbf2.. and now that denuvo 4.8 is gone so are the games that use it
yes that’s what i said always online is the solution for pc gaming
it is not… there is no such backbone that can handle it… micro tried on consoles with the cloud and failed and these games are multiplayer online games not sp games
I did test on performance with games that use Denuvo. IMO it has no performance impact. I mean I figured since I own the games in the 1st place why not DL the cracked versions to see if performance was effected in anyway.
If anything it’s margin of error from what I have seen. Not that I care about Denuvo. If anything all games should be on GoG if it was up to me. Then again I still remember a time PC games had zero DRM in the 1st place.
However if Denuvo makes Publishers happy and Dev’s can continue to makes games on PC because of it. Well I guess most people don’t think about that. So I will just leave it at that.
Denuvo needs to be removed not emulated
Well if it has no performance impact… What is the problem.. It’s no different then buying a game on Steam that has to be online… Even if offline mode does not work…
Gotta look at the big picture. Dev’s are the workers… Publishers are the guys in suits who have the money that pays those workers. Until dev’s can do things on their own. Denuvo will be around.
Denuvo does its job well
The only reason Denuvo is a thing is because people in general can’t be honest… And it’s not just PC gaming that is effected. Heck I remember when people would get brand new snes games and copy them on a hard disk…
“The only reason Denuvo is a thing is because people in general can’t be honest…”
Ridiculous. The only reason Denuvo “is a thing” is because Hollywood successfully scapegoated piracy for years, and the video game industry needed an excuse to push consoles over PC, so they jumped on the “piracy” bandwagon. It worked great for them as an excuse for why some games sold badly and some IPs “just had to” go multi-platform, so they kept using it.
Now it’s just a cover-your-a$$ tactic. Some board member asks “what are we doing about piracy?” and the CEO gets to reply; “well, we’re using Denuvo, it’s the best in the industry! :D”
“why not DL the cracked versions to see if performance was effected in anyway”
This won’t show a diference at all, the DRM its still there still afecting the game so this test is flawed.
“Well if it has no performance impact… What is the problem.. It’s no different then buying a game on Steam that has to be online… Even if offline mode does not work”
If it has not performance impact it’s good, but there is no way to proof that there is not, because we don’t have the DRM free version to compare. Despise that there still problems there because performance problems it’s not the only thing denuvo can and do affect.
“The only reason Denuvo is a thing is because people in general can’t be honest”
Like how Publishers refuse to admit that piracy it’s not the BIG BAD VILLAINS that they portrey to be ? I’mean seriously how many years piracy has been blamed for ruining the industry ? Yet when you look at the numbers Publishers are getting way more profit than years ago but hey if piracy didn’t exist their would profit even more right ? This whole idea that piracy it’s the bad guy come from the retarded idea that everyone that pirated the game would have bought the game if the pirated version was not available wich we can all agree is naive .
That’s the most amusing part of this whole debacle – the protection gets cracked, but more often than not, the companies don’t care enough about their customers to remove it. Good luck playing your legitimate Denuvo games in 5 or 10 years 🙂
That’s pretty much all games… Well more like 10+ years is more like it. Since the game in general needs patches to work on the most current OS.
Don’t worry, when they do remove it they’ll just update the game to the cracked version. This is Ubisoft, they’ve done it before. Their solution to get digital versions of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 to not require a disc was to download a no-cd crack and use that.
believe me, there are some greedy bast*rds out there with extra ordinary patience.
YES THE FILTHY PIRATES LIKE @disqus_uOzxqJFtAx:disqus @MetalMessiah0:disqus DURKA DURKA ZATRA
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Where is the topic concerning ps4 being cracked and pirate ps4 games are in the wild?
ask tech sites… This is mainly a PC gaming site 😀
Mainly does not mean only
Ether way PS4 being cracked is due to old firmware most likely. And if that’s the case it won’t really make news since new games need the system updates to play right. Unless you are a code wiz and can copy a BR and with magic burn the game on your own BR…
This is a pc only website dude
Well we can now safely say… denuvo 4.8 is dead
The loudest mouth is the biggest pirate. What a hypocrite.

You guys voted for our Comment Policy. Next year… well… perhaps decide for a better policy?
https://www.dsogaming.com/editorial/editorial-you-can-determine-dsogamings-comment-section-policy/
Thank you John for giving us the choice
Hmm..That’s very strange. I’m not sure why the majority voted for the “Unrestrained Policy” in the first place ?
Yeah right? Free speech can exist while blocking spam.
Because most sites are sjw filled shtstains that they will ban you for not following the groupthink. You can be banned for no reason at all.
So people reacted to that nad said free speech. Its riddiculus how much censorship there is nowdays. People have been banned on twitter for telling their followers to give the person who is herassing them….wait for it “HUGS” meanwhile antifa and blm are openly hatefull and racist.
So people voted for free speech.
Personally i voted to keep it all gaming related, but whatever this is what we got. I try to keep shtposting to a minimum.
Good on you, better for all of us. Some block him, others laugh….. win, win 😀
Unrestrained is one thing, letting the comments section run rampant with obvious trolls is another thing, entirely.
I ignored the user and have no more problems. All i see is “This user is blocked” and then a few guys telling him he’s a moron or something.
Son, just block him, it’s not that hard
Ayo holup…*smacks lips*…is you sayin…*sips 40*…
WE WUZ CRACKED N SHEEEIT?!
YES YOU RACIST PIECE OF SHT
oh come on, you are not even trying this time.
You are a pastey white troll who is culturally appropriating a womyn of color. Do not lecture me, bigot.
Women are individuals, WHAMMEN are a social construct.
“Still, we’d really love to test and see for ourselves whether the Denuvo+VMProtect combination does not bring any additional performance impact at all.”
How many times does this have to be proven before you believe it?
HE HAS THE SAME MENTALITY AS THE PIRATE LOSER ON THIS SITE
Well, they got to actually remove denuvo for starters.
Avoid Ubisoft’s garbage games = Problem Solved
The most sensible comment thus far.
Why AC:Orgins got positive reviews even though it has Dicknuvo O_O?
because reviewers don’t have to pirate like he does
Ubisoft’s games aren’t garbage. Ubisoft have produced some fantastic games, and will continue to do so. Not every game is going to be great or live up to expectations, but stop pretending like Ubisoft only make crap.
THEY CAN’T PIRATE = CRAP
but now we can get origins YAAAARRRRR
months after release, so a lot of pirates would have bought it if they really wanted it. Ubi is the only winner here.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e2cb84d77c1d3e84eeb949ca2571a9d0adf47b8a44be698abc6a0c491e0d655b.jpg
they are the same though.
They continue to create games without original-new ideas. Example Far Cry 3-4, latest A.Creed Games etc. Also most of their latest games have a poor performance optimization ( Origins, W.Dogs 2 ) . Remember the Watch Dogs / Division fiasco
I have definitely practiced that, my man. I’ve never bought a ubisoft game on uplay/protection, except when it’s sold on GOG (DRM-free). If everyone is like me, denuvo would have died on ubisoft a long time ago.

*sensibly chuckles*
KKW is a r*tard troll. Just block him or, as I like to do, f*ck with him for laughs. I prefer a totally unfiltered comment section. Moderating should be down to the individual user, not admins playing nanny.
“We”??
HA. For some reason I doubt you’ve ever contributed to cracking a game.
Downloading someone’s else’s keygen or patched binary does not make you part of the “WE” that cracks these modern, complex pieces of code.
You’ve taken his comment far too literally.
he is a stupid normie.
go BACK TO 4CHAN.
FREEDOM TO KEKISTAN!!!
LOL THIS PIRATE LOSER @MetalMessiah0:disqus IS UPSET THAT I DON’T AGREE WITH HIS IDEOLOGY OF PIRACY AND WANT ME BANNED CAUSE HE DON’T WANT TO GET CALLED OUT FOR HIS PIRATED COPY
EVERYONE I DONT LIKE IS HITLER…..EHHH PIRATE LOSER VIRGIN…AND JOHN IS A PEDO…..WELCOME TO 4CHAN!!!!
Kindly visit a “Psychiatrist” near your location. You seriously need one.

Banning someone else’s speech is never the way to go….
You have the option to mute them in Disqus – I’d go that route if you’re truly irked.
I normally call people out for blocking other people, but if it’s truly a case of spamming unintelligible comments that clutter your view of the comments section, then I see no issue with that.
Lots of times, people losing an argument will end with, “Well I’ll just block you”, as if this somehow leaves them victorious lol.
I don’t consider blocking someone who says the same things over and over like KKW the same thing.
It’s actually not about banning or blocking any user. It’s about keeping any forum, or a comment section a civil place for discussion.
Maybe, my thoughts are way too different than yours and others, but personal/derogatory attacks shouldn’t be allowed, in the first place IMO.
Seriously, this KKW guy is clogging the comment section with the most idiotic drivel I’ve ever seen just for trolling purposes.
I get it freedom of speech, but think of those newer readers who want to leave a comment themselves and then see this mess of a comment section…
Freedom of speech does not also mean freedom of consequence… and this KKW dude is taking things to the extreme… like seriously 1/4 of the comments here are his…
You’re exactly right. Nothing is free from consequence.
And KKW is regularly insulted in retaliation and frequently blocked by individual Disqus accounts. But as long as you have the option to ignore him, the things that he has to say are not forced upon you.
+1. Couldn’t agree more.
We definitely disagree then.
Because I believe the offensive speech is still free speech.
It’s entirely about maximizing the power to each individual. You have the individual option to ignore the person, as you should. John should not have the right to suppress anything that the user would potentially post though, because he’s not acting in the interest of the individual. The consequences of doing so affects all people and John decides for those people what they should and shouldn’t be able to see. That I do NOT agree with.
As long as KKW is using speech, he’s within his rights. If he’s hacking and taking down the website three times a week, well now his actions are acting beyond the scope of himself as the individual and affecting other individuals.
UPW?
Well, this comment section is a dumpster fire…
Don’t mind me, I’m just the sanctimonious d-bag that wants to point out the painfully obvious. 😀
There isnt any point, before this user name he had another user name that was banned and before that another one.
ACTUALLY, it was a matter of CPY……..:D
GET OUT!!!!
ok 🙁
they didnt crack watchdogs 2 and resident evil 6 with all dlcs. If they do that, yup they are inhuman, no loose ends…no one can do that, only inhumans.
Since denuvo was introduced it protected many games for weeks and months, but I wonder if these protected games sales really improved that much thanks to denuvo? IMO, if people cant afford or arnt willing to buy a legit game copy in the first place, no amount of protection will change consumer decision. If game is good like GTA5, it will sell good no matter what, but if a game is bad, it will sell accordingly no matter what protection it will use.
When it comes to AC Origins, like John I’m interested to see if DRM protection does not have any perceptible effect on performance, so I hope Ubisoft will remove DRM from their game because only then we would see if that’s the case. But for now I rather think AC Origins demands very good PC simply because it looks very good, game has excelent core/thread scalability
Agree on that. And yeah, AC: Origins is indeed a highly demanding game, I think both on the CPU as well as GPU.
I love denuvo. Esp in combination with VMP. I love it when I’m playing a game and a virtual machine plus encrypt/decrypt system run on the background facilitating publisher to actively fight pirates on their rich shareholders behalf which has nothing to do with me as buyer. It’s so nice that I pay them my money and they get to use my hardware to protect their riches. I don’t want the best performance for my game, my comfort in playing games is not important to me. Said no one ever.
Denuvo is an infamy now, bad PR. Bad PR hurt sales. In wholeness, at best it is one step forward one step back. But the one step is bad PR.
“It’s also worth pointing out that Denuvo has already released a new version of its anti-tamper tech, Denuvo 5.0. This version has already been used in Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite …”
Uh, isn’t MvC Infinite pirated in a few days after release?
Denuvo + VMProtect doesn’t protect sales, they protect the game from being tampered. DRM (esp denuvo, uplay, vmp) is an infamy now. When you mention your game having denuvo, the sale gets hurt at that time, coz many people will cancel their plan to buy or get their interest reduced. Drm (esp those3) is as hated as EA.
Nobody can shut down piracy as long as there are demand and use of it. It will only be gone when everybody anywhere can buy legit stuff easily, which isn’t anytime soon. For now, the smart way is to use piracy to increase sales and save effort on creating demo. Piracy can hook users into liking the game. When they are hooked, they will want the best version they can get and they will buy the game if/when they can. Critical steps: make sure the game has legit features waiting for them, like daily quest, online leaderboard, online multiplayer, cloud save, etc which they can’t get on pirated version. Trust me, it works.
No, the update of this game contain 5.0 version.
You mean the updated game is not pirated yet? And only older version of the game has been pirated? And pirates can get that older version but not the latest version?
Wow, looks like its worthy sacrifice the game performance to put an extra layer of DRM.
Denuvo 4.8 (or 4.9) was cracked on the end of January, and AC Origins in February 3.
Totally worth the extra VMProtect DRM…
Ubishit
Ahm, the game came out in October last year? Seems to me the extra layer WAS indeed worth it.
Denuvo was cracked in the end of January, took almost 4 months.
Im talking about the EXTRA VMprotect layer combined with Denuvo.
Game with ONLY DENUVO 4.8 – 4 months
Game with Denuvo + VM protect – 1 Week after Denuvo 4.8 was broke.
So, again, not worth.
He used to ban some stubborn trolls (console fanboys) who used to spam nonsense such as “PC gamers cheat/pirate” or “lol no pc port of X game”
you still imply that these kinds of protection have any effect on sales
pcgamers are not thieves stop obsessing about it
Hail to the king 🙂
:O That’s racist. You should be ashamed of yourself.
No not really.
I despise all things originating from postmodernism and the present day political left.
Bottom line, there’s no such thing as “gamer’s rights”. Gamer’s rights are the same as any other consumer.
Apples and potatoes? I don’t understand. Consumer rights exist. Gamer rights do not.
Apples and potatoes both exist separately though.
As you said, Consumer’s Rights exist. By extension, we gamers have the right to not get arbitrarily f*cked over by corporations, hence, “Gamer’s Rights.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, left-wing litbard bullsh*t, bla bla bla. I don’t ascribe to it either, but hey, if someone wants to start talking about Gamer’s Rights, might as well, as the Corporations obviously have nothing but unbridled contempt for their own customers.
Since processor speed is more needed at lower resolutions denuvo hindering performs is indeed quite evident. Sadly they say the junk will stay on your PC even after you remove your software. >_>
literally 3 fps lmao. Unless you’re some kind of esports aim god, you won’t feel that sh*t.
CPY, CODEX, and RELOAD are the kings of crack games
“Crack” games? Sounds like some really bad games there. I would not play a “crack cocaine” game. Sounds way to addicting. Maybe “cracked” games?
Waiting to see benchmark comparisons now. The time to do it is now, otherwise in a couple of days the game will get patched again making any benchmarking a moot point. You have to compare the exact same versions in order for the results to have any meaning.
Benchmark ? Why ? There is no diference betweeen the cracked and the normal version.
So than why is everyone complaining about DRM hurting performance? (P.S: I finished the game, ran rock solid 60 fps on max settings, I really did not see the “bad performance” that I keep hearing about)
You seem to be missing the point, we don’t really know if has an affect on the performance. The DRM is still there so we can’t actually see any diference. but its naive to believe that an VM layer on top of a DRM does not have a performance impact at all. Only if the company remove it we could compare, but seeing as we are taltking about ubisoft my money is that somehting like that would never happen.
If “we don’t really know if has an affect on the performance” than why are people literally saying “BAD” performance everywhere? Where is the bad performance?
Dude just look at benchs for the game. This game has nothing that specia,l yet you can see brand new i7 getting maxed out barely able to mantain 60fps
Do you even read what I actually write? Let me copy paste that for you from above: “I finished the game, ran rock solid 60 fps on max setting” – that’s with frame cap on btw. Your “barely” does not compute.
Dude where did even write that ? U never even stated your fps on this game wtf.
Yeah, he sure got me… By actually pointing out that some bot copied my comment…
(edit) Wait, you we’re actually talking about that guy… Sorry, my bad, carry on. 😛
Nah brah he roastED YOU.
That comment so so sick. Even broken clock works twice a day SEE.
Okay, now I’m confused af. XD
Good article besides it only took 3 days not 3 months because the release with the bypass already includes the latest update. Seems that pirates other than publishers actually do learn and evolve.
Also if they would have the decency at least to remove it after it was cracked, i would purchase the ones i’m interested in then, but instead they are testing my patience to the extreme till i simply go download some repacks instead.
Yes, i know this won’t necessarily help for the performance impact but at least i don’t throw more money down the throat of those rent seeker publishers. And with my connection it only takes about 10 minutes to download 50GB so that’s really the least of my concerns anyway.
As long as there’s game account sharing, Denuvo 5.0 doesnt scare anyone. You can “borrow” the game for $2-3 on launch day.
You can’t “crack” DENUVO. A work around is being emulated, just without connection to the internet. The performance on PC is 100% the same on retail as it is on “cracked”. Unfortunately, the game will never run properly on normal machines.
this is Denuvo 4.9
First of all, this isn’t a bypass, it’s a full crack, how do I know? Because fitgirl doesn’t release bypass shiz on her website only full legit cracks so head on to fitgirl repack site and wait for the cracked game to get released. Second of all F*K UBISOFT.
I hope they remove denuvo. I saw a world of a difference when bethesda removed it from Dishonored 2. My fps almost doubled.
All I can say is that after an update, my performance magically increased. I thought it was drm removal.
Alright quite possible that an update did increase performance a bit for you, but they unfortunately for sure didn’t remove Denuvo.
And that is anyway my biggest complain about Denuvo, that they don’t remove it for the paying customers even if the games have been cracked already since months or even a year.
Well damn. Yeeeah, it literally doesn’t make since to keep it in after its cracked.
Ubisoft add 4th protection thet design to stress cpu and gpu to max to cause them overheat to make game mass up or cause your systeam to shutdown. This is design to damage pirates PC/laptop.
But adding an additional bitcoin miner on top of the one already hidden in there wouldn’t increase yield so much. It’s better to increase the CPU/GPU usage percentage of the one already in there. 😉
I wanted to be a pirate….. but people kept shooting at me :'(
Yearly parkour sessions lol ignoring that this is the first game in 2 years.
Who cares. Denuvo doesn’t affect performance. Your bad PC does. Stop.
