It appears that the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, Denuvo 4.8, has been cracked. As always, we won’t share or allow links but a certain group was able to crack Sonic Forces; a game that uses Steam and Denuvo 4.8.
Denuvo 4.8 has been used in a lot of triple-A games in the past couple months. Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Football Manager 2018, Need for Speed Payback, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Injustice 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope HD Remaster use it.
Denuvo was able to protect the aforementioned titles for almost three months. That was a huge success and while its latest version has been cracked, there is only a crack for Sonic Forces. However, do note that this is a bypass crack. In other words, Denuvo is still running in the background, meaning that you should not see any performance gains in titles like Assassin’s Creed: Origins. Furthermore, Assassin’s Creed: Origins uses VMProtect on top of Denuvo 4.8, so it will be interesting to see whether this combo will make things harder for crackers (now that the latest version of the Denuvo has been cracked).
A really smart move, from Denuvo, is to release a brand new version of its anti-tamper tech. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see whether publishers will keep using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech in the games that have/will be cracked, and whether they will invest in using it for their future titles!

Nice; f*** denuvo and all forms of DRM.
BTW , took 600 years for barbarians killed roman empire. Denuvo will fall too. Lets not lose hope brothers.
I really dislike this new DENUVO DRM, tbh. I hope it gets nuked once and for all, lol.
>BTW , took 600 years for barbarians killed roman empire.
Huh? lol
Pirates group : Barbarians
Denuvo : Roman empire.
it’s just a comparison…
More like the opposite; the liberation of Denuvo from the restrictions of time, versus the barbaric oppression of entertainment by Denuvo.
except that doesn’t work because that’s not what happened you illiterate mor- i mean absolute genius
NO F*** PIRATES LOSERS
You again, supporting corporate/anti-consumer bullsh*t.
>losers
look whos talking.
REEEEEEE!
I’m not sure which makes me smile the most – reading this good news or seeing the usual trolls here raging once more!
i upvoted just to see kim kardw, getting a stroke.
Touché. ?
Ditto codyzz1234.
There is a difference with being a pirate hater and being sick of click click baity unecessary Denuvo articles on a gaming website. Now you are obviously a pirate because you enjoy old tech clickbaity Denuvo articles.
Assuming Denuvo 4.8 is new tech so I’ll let him slide here. But now since its been cracked it should be classified as “old tech”. So if another 4.8 game gets cracked and he makes an article about it. He is now pandering to pirates. Which he has repeatedly done in the past.
If you thinks I’m the same as the kardashian guy you are now either.
1. purposely r*t*rded.
2. thinks DSOgaming is a pirate haven(which the owners is turning it into).
pfffffttttttttt
Admitting you’re getting click baited is the first step in getting the John c*ck out of your a*s.
LOL
The barbarians did not kill the Roman Empire.
Actually, what does this mean by the way, when you say, “Denuvo is still running in the background” ?
I presume the crack/bypass won’t allow us to play this game, if DENUVO is still active as a process ?
I’m pretty sure the game DEV will patch this title soon, assuming only a bypass crack.has been released, imo ?
But nonetheless, good to know that this intrusive DRM has once again being taken care of.
I’ve purchased enough Denuvo-exclusive titles, but it’s about time we get some relief from this anti-tamper tech.
only baldman removed denuvo.
too bad none of those AAA games are worth playing anyway
I think Assassin’s Creed: Origins is not THAT bad when it comes to an action-adventure AAA game, imo ?
no. that game’s hot garbage
they literally took everything that was bad in the witcher 3 (such as level restricted enemies and weapons) and poured into their Kangz version of ancient Egypt
anything from Ubisoft nowadays is a worthless time sink collect-a-ton
YOU RACIST C`NT WELL I DON’T EXPECT MUCH FROM A LOSER ON THIS SITE
why is he racist? lmao
if you hate everyone on this side so much just leave.
you are so mad
I would agree on many titles but I really liked AC: Origins in spite of its failures. I guess the Ancient Egypt setting helped though 🙂
GO PLAY GETTING OVER IT DOTA 2
LOL CLICKBAITER JOHN PEDO IS BACK AFTER ADMITTING HE WILL NEVER POST A STORY ABOUT DENUVO AGAIN LOL
What do you mean by that ?
Oh, and this will most probably be our last coverage for Denuvo. This tech has been cracked so there is no point sharing other stories about new cracks.
http://www dsogaming com/news/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-first-real-crack-is-now-available/
AND THEN LOL
THIS LOSER IS SPAMMING DENUVO JUST BECAUSE IT GETS SO MUCH ATTENTION FROM THE LOSER ON THIS SITE BI TCHING ABOUT IT
http://www dsogaming com/?s=DENUVO
LOOK AT AN NORMAL ARTICLE ON THIS SITE AVERAGE 1-8 COMMENTS
AND DENUVO 80+ LOL
“WebPCMaster Brasil 2 hours ago
Go to another site then, we want to know the news about Denuvo, if you do not want to know just do not enter the news or go to another site !!!:
They just low key admitted that they enjoy getting milked for views lmao. There is no point in reasoning with them.
“”LOOK AT AN NORMAL ARTICLE ON THIS SITE AVERAGE 1-8 COMMENTS AND DENUVO 80+ LOL””
And 70 of those comments are yours talking BS!
He’s a troll. Just set him to ignore.
“JOHN PEDO”
You’ve posted that vile and wholly without merit insult about the site owner on several occasions now. Hopefully he’ll notice it this time and issue you with an IP ban. It’s long overdue, as I’m sure all would agree.
IP BAN! You deserve this.
HERE COMES ALL THE PIRATE LOSER ON THIS SITE WHINING
GOOD TO USE VMPROTECT ON TOP OF IT
Shut up kid.Why screaming like a child denuvo employer here?.You will soon see a asc crack and you can do nothing.
And if John is seeing this post then it is my humble request to ban KIM.
Shitposting thousands of comments………
He’s a troll with a very sad life. Put him on ignore. Problem solved.
He needs some love and happiness in his life.
CRY SOME MORE YOU PIRATE LOSER HOW’S FITGIRL REPACKS ARE WORKING OUT FOR YOU??
I pirated nothing from your house and i have more games on steam than you do.
Die in pain kid.
now i know what fitgirl repacks are. Thanks you just promoted piracy.
KKW seems to know an awful lot about pirating games. I suspect he’s pirated more games than all site users here combined!
He’s so salty about it because mummy won’t replace his ageing weak sauce college laptop PC so he’s stuck playing his latest pirated games in sub-30fps at reduced quality settings just like he typically does on his beloved crappy Sony console!
stop whining shill
LOSER DURKA DURKA IS BACK WITH HIS TORRENT CLIENT UP AND RUNNING
torrent? Pfft, i use mega.
oh sh..
I can’t believe companies still believe in that DRM nonsense
PEOPLE FROM THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA PAKISTAN CHINA ROMANIA ETC ALL PIRATE THE SINGLE PLAYER TITLES IT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED
I’m Romanian and I buy games that are worth their asking price… and you know… good.
Because nothing screams confidence from a publisher more than implementing $hitty intrusive DRM that benefits no paying customer…
JUST BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT FEW GAMES DOESN’T MEAN YOU AREN’T A PIRATE OR YOU ALL YOUR FELLOW ROMANIAN AREN’T
JUST BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT FEW GAMES DOESN’T MEAN YOU AREN’T A PIRATE OR YOU ALL YOUR FELLOW ROMANIAN AREN’T
China is not a third world country
YEAH A 2ND WORLD WORSE THAN A THIRD WORLD
well now it it number 1 😀
YEAH A 2ND WORLD WORSE THAN A THIRD WORLD
from people who cant buy them?
WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT SHOULDN’T PLAY IT
WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT SHOULDN’T PLAY IT you filthy pirate
To paraphrase another of your pathetic trollish comments… That’s racist!
IT’S NOT RACIST YOU IDIOT NEITHER SWJ
IT’S NOT RACIST YOU IDIOT NEITHER your SWJ aspeasing “Cool-looking trailer apart from the SJW appeasing.” So is everything that features a non-white male “SJW appeasing”? YOU RACIST C`NT
The thing is people who can’t afford games or don’t want to buy games will never buy your game and give you money so why ruin it for the real paying customer. It is pointless. Yes it sucks hard core to have your game or anything else stolen but DRM is not the answer, as a game dev and gamer I think DRM is pointless.
I would bet massive amounts of money and my rep that if everyone dumped DRM you would actually see an increase in game sales and not the reverse.
NO DRM IS NOT POINTLESS AND NO IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD NO NEED TO PLAY I BET THEY WON’T ABLE TO AFFORD A CAR THEY SHOULD START THIEVING HELL NO
NO DRM IS NOT POINTLESS AND NO IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD NO NEED TO PLAY I BET THEY WON’T ABLE TO AFFORD A CAR THEY SHOULD START THIEVING HELL NO. drm is a way to protect digital media from the thieves
It made a lot of pirates I know actually buy AC Origins so I guess you could say it was a success.
YES IT WORKS UNLIKE A LOSER ON THIS SITE WILL PRETEND IT DOESN’T
AND PIRACY DON’T EXIST
Piracy exists and it always will exist. This is the Digital Age my friend. Roll with it.
Don’t let him know that piracy in general has existed for countless centuries, and even that form hasn’t been defeated.
A recent study proves that piracy actually helps sales in the gaming industry. So your guess is wrong.
A recent study proves you’re a moron.
Really? I thought that’s what the study proved of you…..
Oops.
Idiot, he speaks Truth, it was done by in EU by someone from European council of trade
Google ‘piracy boosts sales study’ and deal with the facts, kid.
The EU funded and later withheld the study because it didn’t net the results they were expecting.
Actually you are the moron. It has been done again and again and again, pirates dont buy stuff.
BS study. I’ve looked at all the studies that “show” this to be true. They’re weak at best and completely flawed and skewed at worst.
still better than the studies that claim they lose money out of them.
How so? Numbers really don’t lie.
It was a $ 428.000 study that took several months and produced 300+ pages. I wouln’t call it flawed or rushed in any way.
The truth is pirates don’t buy stuff. If they can’t pirate, they move on to the next thing. The industry doesn’t lose money, because they weren’t getting that money in the first place.
You have a link to this study? I’d like to see how it was setup and performed.
Yes I too would like a link to this study.
You can say piracy doesn’t hurt sales, but that doesn’t automatically mean it boosts it.
anedoctal evidence is not that strong in this case. Give me the hard numbers and compare with previous, more easily pirateable editions of AC on PC
There’s plenty of “non-anecdotal” evidence waiting to be summarily dismissed as “anecdotal evidence” as well proving the same thing…….
You mean statistical evidence dismissed as anedoctal evidence? Yeah, there will always be people arguing in bad faith
origins failed even on consoles, so no.
At this point I’m not sure you even know what you’re talking about. Origin was a success.
No one should bother with you. The sales were below excpectasions, they just managed to get near syndicate sales,which was also a failure.
Pirates can still pirate day1 with 0 to 5$ both WUP and Denuvo games, so what are you saying doesn’t mean anything.
DRM method # 987,341 has been cracked. Well, that’s been the case ever since video games have existed pretty much. It doesn’t stop Publishers from making their games available to PC gamers and why? Because they make a lot of money from doing that. That’s why.
Why are previously console exclusive titles being ported to PC? Because the Publishers make a lot of money from doing this. That’s why.
BUT STILL PIRACY EXIST AND IT’S HUGE
First of all, don’t yell at me. Secondly, pirates have always been around in video games from the beginning. It hasn’t stopped Publishers from making their games available to PC gamers. Why? Because they make a lot of money from doing so. They don’t give a damn about piracy. They want money. That’s why they do it.
you know what else is huge? The failure that AAA games in 2017 demonstrated.
…and KKW’s epic salty rage!
Finally, I can play Sonic Forces without spending a single dime on it for 2 hours and never touch it ever again…
“i buy my games i am not a pirate” LOL loser
The cat and mouse game continues
Still waiting to know how much performance is lost for DRM in Assassin’s Creed: Origins because it probably is inversely proportional to the trust most of us have in Ubisoft…
I pirated nothing from your house and i have more games on steam than you do.Die in pain kid.
copy paste confirmed lol.
Ha, get bent Denuvo.

You all are feeding the troll which they want. Well done for taking the obvious bait.

YOU RACIST C`NT WELL I DON’T EXPECT MUCH FROM A LOSER ON THIS SITE
R?t?rd, Denuvu is German
Not in modern germany with all the muslimes.
It would shock the heck out of me if North and South Korea unified as one country. I’m sure you probably know that they are technically still at war. They only have a cease fire since the 50s. I would be pretty surprised if they even sign a peace treaty.
I was shocked when I watched live on the news people in East and West Germany knocking down the wall. It was almost surreal. The wall was such a strong symbol of the power and fear during the Cold War. But it was inevitable. The Soviet Union was crumbling at the time.
I suppose it’s possible for North Korea to unify with South Korea but I just can’t see Kim Jong Un giving up power. Also it’s China that is propping up North Korea and I don’t see their power crumbling anytime soon like the Soviet Union was. But never say never I guess.
Denuvo is a company from Austria.
A recent study proves that piracy actually helps sales in the gaming industry. So your guess is wrong.
This is always funny when this happens it hurts your game and lowers performance by increasing CPU overhead!
Stop punishing people who buy games with this crap! Do other things and be more creative. More importantly Witcher 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, GTA5 prove that single player games do sell on the PC without this crap.
Make good games people will buy them! Rockstar was kind of funny what they did to people who torrent in GTA5 , i remember what game dev did which was funny too.
Just be more creative, lastly yes i did pirate myself and yeah the games i found to be fun i did buy i actually felt bad since i loved them so much but i personally won’t buy $40+ games anymore if they just have 6-8 hours of playability. I like sim and RTS games i find them to be quite a lot of fun and are fun to replay
I have very few games that i’m a massive fan of but i did pay 60$ for dues ex mankind divided haha now its like 8$ at places plus i also remember buying stick of truth for 60$ then like a week later it was 45$ :(.
Also i will say you can’t force someone to buy a game and if they can’t afford it they wearn’t going to buy it anyways.
now that 4.8 is cracked. there is no need to make another article if a 4.8 game gets cracked. Remember that John, this isn’t a piracy promoting site….
If I wanted piracy news I wouldn’t go to DSOGaming.
We will have more articles about D. getting cracked, like you or not. 🙂
okay get milked for views. Might as well put a naked girl for a thumbnail lmao.
Go to another site then, we want to know the news about Denuvo, if you do not want to know just do not enter the news or go to another site !!!
okay low key pirate get milked for views.
the Pubg haters go to Pubg articles and post. “PUBG sucks d*ck”
Why can’t I do the same for Denuvo articles?

CPY:
Publishers in time you know what it’s like to lose to feel so desperately that your right only to fail all the same
Piracy dread it
Put DRM on it
Put another DRM on top of it
The crack still arrives
There isn’t much fun in cracking software but this does put a smile on my face.

Too funny!
I pretty much doubt AC: Origins will get cracked before the VMProtect will be gone.
It’s nearly impossible. Even if CPY, Baldman and Voksi would join forces, VM will stand, because it serves well its purpose. Virtual machine is nearly uncrackable. But also makes the game run like crap. If you don’t like when games run like crap, just wait till Ubisoft patch it away.
A crack for a game that nobody wants to play.
“It’s not about the money. It’s about sending a message.”
It’s a console oriented game anyways, I doubt they care. I am amazed they would even port it.
oh sh..
Yet they will just keep trying with the next version. Insanity: doing
the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
They are getting the results they want.
They want me to not buy their game ? Strange business strategy.
Kinda sorta. If I understand the Publishers correctly they want Denuvo to work for a short time after release to try to coerce pirates to buy their games since they can’t get them fro free until they are cracked but the results have been mixed. Some games get cracked right away and then there’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
The way it’s been explained in the news is that the Denuvo guys don’t get paid if the game gets cracked right away so I really wonder how they are making enough money to continue on with developing new versions of Denuvo.
I won’t be surprised if the Denuvo Developers just quietly disappear one day.
from people who cant buy them?
…and KKW’s epic salty rage!
Copy/paste ?
Anyone who plays or enjoys sonic games has their minds full of shart.
Don’t mind Reputable DRM but Denuvo and Virtual Machine Code Required no thanks slows performance, takes more resources, may not be playable if the servers go down.
