Electronic Arts has removed Denuvo from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

75 Comments

Now here is a pleasant surprise. Electronic Arts and Respawn have just removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great third-person action-adventure game. The game came out in 2019, meaning that it took EA and Respawn two years in order to remove Denuvo.

As with all the other games we’ve covered, we can assume that the removal of Denuvo is due to the compatibility issues that this anti-tamper tech currently has with Intel’s latest Alder Lake CPUs.

Still, it’s great witnessing more and more publishers removing Denuvo from their older games. Yesterday, Warner Bros removed Denuvo from Injustice 2.

Last month, Bandai Namco removed Denuvo from Tekken 7 and Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. Similarly, Square Enix and Crytek removed Denuvo from NieR Replicant Remaster and Crysis Remastered, respectively. Additionally, 2K Games has removed Denuvo from Mafia Definitive Edition.

As we’ve reported, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order suffered from some stuttering issues when loading new areas. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether these stutters have been reduced now that Denuvo is no longer present!

    1. I love how a lot of you here are so mentally unstable that a simple comment like this can cause you mental breakdown. you’re literally obsessed with him.

        1. Are you really having fun? or do you want it to seem that way so you wouldn’t come off as a sensitive person? because he’s clearly made you upset enough to downvote almost all of his comments out of anger and constantly ask john to ban him. the guy is clearly living rent free in your mind but hey I’m the sensitive leftie here.

          1. hahahaahh please do find one instance where i asked anyone including John to ban him…on the contrary i would be very sad if he was GOD forbid banned…but like i said go to RPS trust me soy boys over there need you….now shuuu of with you don’t pollute my notification icon on diqus

          2. your whining of how spammers make you cry was pretty evident in comment policy articles. you’ve either deleted them or John has so I’m not wasting my time to prove anything since most of you are braindead anyways.

          3. i voted for option 1 on comment section….so don’t project your state of mind or how you feel on to me….now…what did i tell you….of with you to some make believe land shuu

          2. Humor is subjective, as for originality…im working with what i have, have a better nickname and i will deliver.
            EDIT: oh you blocked me 🙁 what a pus*y.
            Like i said, is subjective. You are not finding it funny cause im mocking you obviously, is not that hard to understand.

          4. I this supposed to be humor? you said something about goats because there’s a goat in my username. that’s objectively dumb.

          5. blocked you? why would I do that? did you edit your comment last night to pretend that you triggered me? 🙂
            no it’s not funny because I’m sure a 7 years old could come up with a better insult. it just shows lack of creativity and the fact that you’re too upset to think of something better.

          6. Upset about what? dont make me laugh, you are the one that reads b*tthurt constantly here.

          8. Grow up. How about a “on topic” comment from you for once? Did you at least play this thing?

          9. yeah, I played it for a couple of hours the year it came out then forgot about it. it felt nice at first but got boring very fast.

          1. the Irony is 50 percent of people upvoting Jewish conspiracy posts are actually from Pakistan.

        4. There’s always the bottom of the barrel PCGamer but be careful what you post there. The last post I left was that the site had really gone downhill (which it certainly has over the years with the injection of Political Correctness in the articles). The next day my posts started disappearing on every site using Disqus including here.

          John checked and said that I had been flagged as a “Low Quality Poster” on Disqus. Somehow he fixed it but I have no intention of ever posting on PCGamer again.

          1. Good that you didn’t bother. They recently mass banned many of long time readers and commentors (been there since 2015) over that stupid non-binary BF2042 character. No surprise, though, when the moderator is Wes ‘The Snowflake’ Fenlon.

          3. How can one find out if they’re on that list? And is that a per-site list, or does it follow across all Disqus using sites?

          4. As for “the injection of Political Correctness”, wholeheartedly agree.

            This madness knows no bounds, there is no game, show, movie, company, product, marketing, industry that is safe from its infectious, tentacled reach. The only way to stop this madness is shunning those that give in to it.

            There needs to be a corollary causal and effect relationship established that when your company/product/marketing/moderators/spokesperson/sports team/video game chooses to bend the knee to the w0ke mob to kiss the ring, then you’re no longer welcome to receive the money, views, patronage, etc. from those that disagree with it, and/or those that get thrown under the bus by it.

            As it’s been, companies and industries have seen that there’s no downside to them bending the knee to the eternally outraged mob — everyone keeps oaginf their bills just the same, they just get to have their cake too by not incurring the PR hit by being the mob’s focal point.

            Until companies and industries and game devs and sports teams and movie studios see that going w0ke = going broke, it’s only going to continue.

      4. free speech is only as good as the people you’re giving it to. giving absolute freedom to people relieves them of their responsibilities toward other people. If you give it to a bunch of looney conspiracy theories and racists, you end up with anarchy.

  4. “Wait for the newer Denuvo built specifically for Alder Lake and Up”

    Something tells me the stutter and general performance problems will going to be bigger than ever with this newer version.

    1. LOL
      They’re desperately trying to save that thing.
      I thought it would be at least decent, boy, I was wrong!
      Got back to L4D2 real quick.

  8. is this cuz intel new cpus wont work well on this games or its cuz its alredy cracked or the devs relized denuvo is cpu hog ?

    Reply

    3. I would bet my a*s it is because of either: a) peer pressure seeing how many Deadnuvos were removed by other publishers b) alder lake.

  10. The best thing to come out of the Intel 12th Gen release is the fact that the game industry is removing Denuvo from a lot of its games, it’s however unfortunate that it took something extraordinary as a new CPU arch being incompatible with parasitic software – that punishes paying customers – in order for it to be removed from games that are even years old. Expect Denuvo & VMProtect to release a new version that will make their plague work with W11 Hybrid Core CPUs since the games industry won’t let go of this crap.

  11. But this game was cracked on release and it SUCKED! They aren’t doing you any favors until it’s DRM-Free 100%

  12. What a coincidence, given I just read an article on how many Denuvo games were unplayable due to server issues.

    “Twitter user Alex Buckland has discovered that this is due to the fact that Denuvo has let their Domain names expire which has led to many of the games using this DRM to not start up at all.”

    Lovely…..

  18. JFO had major stutter problems between zones. Will be interesting if it’s still there. Not that I would ever play the game again. Only played it cus it was on EA Play which means it costs 5 bucks. Was an easy mode dark souls with a protagonist I could only make passable by giving him a Starkiller outfit and covering his stupid face. Then there was a Disney Guardian of the Galaxies knockoff I wanted to throw off my ship and a black tr**ny who was my mentor. Then they had to lead on Darth Vader to make the game passable, just like Rogue One did. Oh there was a non romance with some girl to, cus having people of the opposite s*x get together is no longer allowed in Disney’s Star Wars.

  20. Except that now we get the arena mode with this denuvoless version. So anyone who pirated and waited for this is going to play it.

  21. I’m absolutely ok with this trend of having denuvo for a year and then remove it.

    the people who wanted to play whatever it takes, buy it day 1, pirates don’t flop the tittle and the people who don’t want drm, can purchase it later.

    1. Denuvo is in hot water after a number of games protected by its DRM technology became unplayable over the weekend.

      As PC Gamer reports, players were confronted with a “server not reachable” error in some cases, which on further investigation turned out to be most likely caused by a domain name expiring. More specifically, the Codefusion domain expired on Sept. 24, and the grace period for renewing it likely ended at the weekend taking the Denuvo server communications with it.

      In a statement shared with the PC Gamer, Denuvo confirmed that the problem was the result of domain issues, but didn’t admit it was due to a lapsed registration. A spokesperson for Denuvo explained, “A Denuvo domain was unreachable yesterday afternoon CET. The problem was fixed after we got notified from our automatic system control.”

    2. I agree. And I really do not understand why all the publishers do not act similarly to Capcom, which removes Denuvo in a few months after a game released.
      There is absolutely no sense in keeping Denuvo for more than a year.

  23. Yeah definitely a minimal effort by EA and Lucasfilm etc Glad I never paid a dime for this, mediocre at best with some pretty graphics. Anything Lucas Disney is evil regardless of surface level stuff, not to mention EA ugh, trifecta of evil.
