Yesterday, Bioware released a new patch for Mass Effect Legendary Edition that was aiming to improve overall PC performance. And, from the looks of it, this patch also removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Surprisingly enough, and contrary to other publishers, EA did not include the removal of Denuvo in its patch notes. However, we can confirm at this point that all three remasters no longer use that controversial anti-tamper tech.
We don’t know why EA decided to remove Denuvo so quickly. After all, most companies usually remove Denuvo from their games a year after their release.
As we’ve already reported, the June 7th Update improves PC performance across various hardware configurations. It also fixes an issue on PC where non-standard characters in the operating system’s username would prevent the game from launching.
But anyway, this is definitely great news for those that were boycotting games using Denuvo!

Denuvo Remuvo.
Using this cancer in games whose original version has long since been cracked always struck me as amazingly stupid.
As long as it makes money…
“But anyway, this is definitely great news for those that were boycotting games using Denuvo!”
I’ll still wait for the “Origin-free” version that EA won’t release.
I wonder, if what people say it’s true.
Did the devs also see that denuvo was causing performance issues and removed it.
“We don’t know why EA decided to remove Denuvo so quickly. ”
looking a how all the other ea games use it, must be a performance issue.
The scene right now:

F**K GOG, they sell Epic titles through their Galaxy client. These days I have 2 clients, Steam and qBittorrent.
wait wut ?
I know the purpose of Galaxy, hence GOG can go F**K themselves. I’m not financially supporting a company that promotes and supports Epic’s store. Was that clear enough moron?
oh, so that’s what they meant by ‘increase performance’.

Dayum!! Sales must be in low 5 digit numbers since they removed it already and not from Burnout Paradisde remaster.
