Now here is something truly hilarious. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and WWE 2K20 are currently not launching at all for all PC gamers. According to numerous reports, PC gamers are crashing to desktop while trying running these two games. From the looks of it, this is mainly caused by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. However, there is a workaround for this issue.
All you have to do is set your PC system date one day back. In other words, set it to December 31st. Once you do that, you will be able to launch and play the game. Some gamers claim that after using this workaround, they were able to then play the games with a proper date.
From what we’ve seen, this issue mainly affects Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and WWE 2K20. Other games that are using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, like Monster Hunter World and CODE VEIN, seem to be working correctly. There are also some reports about launching issues with Assassin’s Creed Origins, though they are not as many as those for Fallen Order and WWE 2K20.
Our guess is that 2K Games and Respawn will release new patches that will resolve these Denuvo issues with their games in the next couple of days. Still, it’s really hilarious witnessing such bugs in 2020.
UPDATE:
After further investigation, it appears that this issue is NOT related to Denuvo. After all, WWE 2K20 uses Steamworks instead of Denuvo. Both EA and 2K Games have not commented yet on this issue.
UPDATE 2:
After receiving numerous emails, we went ahead and re-installed the game. We were able to run Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on Origin without the need to change the date of our PC system. On the other hand, there is a number of Steam users that is still experiencing this issue. Some users claimed that this happens only on the pirated version, while other users are claiming that this issue happens on both the pirated and the Steam/Origin versions.

free yeeha simulator 2019 when?
Launched Just fine for me…maybe don’t just jump to conclusions and write an article about it.
Denuvo is a mess.
AC: Odyssey stutters because of it.
FFXV stutters because of it. It’s just hurting customer and developers don’t care.
Your avatar is a mess, now back off and go jack off to furry hentai.

That’s a good one.
I’m searching for a Dodecahedron “pentagonal” facepalm MEME, LOL.
Don’t just grab any old post off reddit and write an article about it..
Save it for April, fellows. This is January 1st, not April 1st.
Nah, it happens on console too. Bug in the game.
Uh oh, must be the dreaded Y2K20 bug. Well done, Denuvo. I’m sure no further issues will come about as time goes on. Denuvo is reliable and soundly developed. /s
With that said, HNY to all. Let’s hope this is the decade in which cash shop bulls**t, nickel and diming, and DRM as a whole, bite the bullet for good.
It’s happening on consoles too lmao. WWE2k20 doesn’t even have denuvo. Relax.
Relax? You think I was acting up, do you? You must be new here. Welcome.
How do you feel now that it isn’t Denuvo after all? Most people clearly have a bias against DRM and will blame it for anything they don’t have the answer to. In this case, it wasn’t the DRM after all even though you were quite quick to gun in criticizing them.
Inaccurate reporting.
Denuvo locking
piratespaying customers out of the game.As expected.
Nope, turns out it was actually blocking cracked copies. Legit copies were working. John f*cked the dog on this one.
Excellent news!
We’ve updated the article. This issue is not related to the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Well, it was nice while it lasted.
Jedi Fallen Order legit copies are still working too. It only affects cracked versions.
Exactly. John is full of sh i t as usual and frequents hack forums and reddit for his main sources. Maybe his dog iq brain doesn’t know that people with cracked copies post on EA community forum too.
Thing is, this was so believable, that is hardly even raised suspicion of being untrue. That’s just the truth of it. This DRM is such trash, that it was perfectly feasible to assume that this could happen.
Ah well, lesson learned on your part. Mistakes happen.
Peak gaming journalism.
Yes it is related to denuvo drm. Atleast for Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order cracked version. The ‘hacker group’ (as you call them) missed a timebomb trigger which can be easily bypassed by changing time and date. Denuvo drm takes everything from KUSER_SHARED_DATA. Pirates couldn’t launch Mad Max 3DM crack 5 years ago because the p2p group missed a trigger so the pirates needed to change to UTC+8 timezone before starting the game.
DRM is anti-consumer in a huge amount.SHM, dont buy games with Denuvo DRM, you just helping create crap like this.
It’s faulty crack that is causing the issue. DRM blocking pirates behind grave isn’t anti consumer.
What the hell are you talking about WWE 2K20 don’t use Denuvo genius!
Sad to see your website copy anything from pirates without some simple research just to get more visitors from pirates on the site and share their hate to Denuvo without any search….
So acording to you anybody that disaproves of Denuvo is a pirate ? In your mind any critiicism of Denuvo is unwarrented ?
I never said that,I just say don’t copy anything from pirates without research!(I think you got what I mean…sometime when I visit here I tell myself hey i visit dsogaming or CrackWatch ??)
To make you more specific about this article
“Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and WWE 2K20 are currently not launching at all for all PC gamers. ”
All!!!! You said All!
I have Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on my account and lunch it without any problem but my friend after visit here try to lunch it and come to me and say he it’s true I can’t lunch it
but it’s Origin problem because in new origin version License path has changed,I told him delete Electronic Arts in ProgramData and repair game and it’s fixed!(also my friend after that called this site “Dark side of CrackWatch?)
But the pirate version of game have issue because of his crack not Denuvo problem….
The ones who disapprove of it for being in games it is not, are not pirates. Pirates are marginally smarter than these people are.
WWE2k20 Doesn’t. Use. Denuvo. The article specifically talks about WWE2k20 being effected by Denuvo.
You can hate something and want reporting about it to be accurate. This is how “Fake News!” got going.
Poor reporting indeed.
he’s got a very low iq
-he loves EA
-he loves the new bioware and thinks the new bioware is same as the one who made “crappy games” which by crappy games he meant baldure’s gate games
-he loves the new mass effect and probably anthem.
I smell a low iq sand n*gger, he says dumbest shet i’ve read on the internet.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
News said, even the cr*cked copy also unable to launch
pcmr!.. meanwhile my pirate friend has already completed the game. really pathetic
Set your system clock to anything other than Jan 1, 2020 – Jan 10, 2020 and it will run.
or just dont play it for 10 days like me, had it for a long time and havent even tried it yet, just too much sh*t
It actually only blocked pirates! Lol.
Good god John, first you let Chris Kuntouras write bogus articles for you, and now you’re just posting any random thing you hear on reddit? You really gotta get your crap together dude.. happy new years.
Y2020K problem/bug more like……Hehe…
I didn’t read any of what you wrote but I can tell you it’s innaccurate and misleading and nobody cares. EA bad XDD
After reading this article I booted my copy up on Origin and it works fine so I’m not sure how this effects all PC gamers.
DENUVO its the cancer of PCGAMING
WORK AROUND!!!! Manually change the computer date, i changed it to 30/01/2020 and is working. after you play, change it back to Auto synchronize.
No, it is the dishonest customer who is blocked.
