Microids has issued a new update for Syberia 3 that, among other things, removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Syberia 3 was powered by the latest version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. However, the game was partially cracked by a ‘certain person.’ As such, Microids decided to completely remove it from the game.
Now we don’t know whether this was done on purpose or by accident. Let’s not forget that an update for CONAN: Exiles did the very same thing and its development team issued a hotfix in order to re-implement the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
For the time being, Denuvo is not present at all in the latest version of Syberia 3.
This new patch for Syberia 3 also improves overall performance, improves and corrects atmosphere and lighting, corrects various crashes when launching the game, and extends game compatibility with PC controllers.
Here is the complete changelog for Syberia 3’s latest update.
- Corrected crash when the game launched
- Improved performance
– On some machines only, the game was a bit jerky throughout. We corrected this problem. - Added C++ Redistributable 2010 & 2012 installation
- Improved how achievements are unlocked
- Improved voice/sub-title synchronization during certain cut-scenes (all languages)
- Corrected a problem with the hospital lobby camera, which occasionally locked
- Added a phrase by Kurk during the attack by the monster on the Krystal.
- Corrected various display bugs on the Krystal (clipping, etc.)
- Corrected various bugs in the theme park. Sometimes the stairs were a bit of a problem
- Improved and corrected atmosphere and lighting
- Corrected a bug where the music stopped when you went back to the main menu
- Improved and corrected text in Polish, Korean, and Czech
- Extended game compatibility with PC controllers (dual sticks)

I assume they thought they could get some sales by making sure people don’t know it’s a broken game before they buy it. Or they are just idiots.
Dead to denuvo
death to piracy and pirates
People who hate Denuovo aren’t necessarily pirates. DRM has always been rightfully hated, whether on PC or consoles. It brings it’s own issues, like when I bought GTA5 and had an issue with windows and had to reinstall the game, but the DRM refused to acknowledge I was using a legitimate copy of the game. Took me several weeks of communication with software support team to get around issue.
I had similar issue with Crysis 3 refusing to download from Origin despite purchasing a copy legitimately. I ended up using pirated copy whilst my legitimate copy couldn’t be used, as EA were as useful as chocolate fireguards.
that is a troll/DENUVO shill, don’t waste your time responding.
I actually think it is a troll, a shill wouldn’t be so excruciatingly blunt. My money is on troll.
for his sake i hope you are right, but there are some pretty disturbed people out there that would bluntly defend DEVUNO and what is worse, do it for free.
Of course there is. Any Sony supporter will do that. Denuvo is a Sony product that harms the PC gaming experience. It is a win/win situation for Sony and its drones.
I both bought and pirated my share of games, but the entitled community makes me think denuovo is absolutely necessary.
“the entitled community” how dare people feel entitled to something they paid money for? people should just STFU and accept bad products and lies, right?
True. I’ve defended Denuvo before until one day I got blocked from playing a game that I legitimately purchased and I didn’t even knew it had Denuvo (Mad Max).
Same, DragonAge 3.
i was glad when denuvo was uncrackable, just cause 3, doom. it was finally the time to prove that piracy is irrelevant and does not decrease sales. It was proven. Then devs used denuvo on broken unfinished games hoping to get sales, they failed. Now i dont care what happens with it, but i find the b tchslap that crackers are giving to horrible indies that put it on unfinished trash games, to be utterly satysfying. Next time make a game that works then put denuvo on it. I also find it riddiculus that they dont remove it when the game is cracked because they can afford to pay money to denuvo, despite that they are wasting money at that point.
It’s true, and in theory I would like to defend use of DRM, if it protected developers sales, but didn’t negatively impact on customers.
However, it clearly is anti consumer in so many ways, and it ultimately seems to have little benefit for anyone other than Deneouvo’s profits..
These things get cracked eventually anyway and people who won’t buy the game, won’t buy it regardless.
Anyone remember how they tried to enforce various forms of DRM and stop second hand sales on consoles. Microsoft tried to help developers do this and the public reacted with utter contempt and Xb1 suffered hugely as result due to it’s image.
Even further back they tried to enforce passes for mp on games when purchased second hand, which ended up with all games getting tacked on mp, regardless of how unsuitable they were.
people on this site are all pirates hiding behind mask
unless you have stocks in these companies, you shouldnt care but i guess there are alot of paid shills and morons who think that pirates are the reason games dont sell DESPITE THE FACT MOST OF THEM ARE POOR IN POOR CRAP COUNTRIES AND CANT BUY THE GAMES ANYWAY.
Bu hey the “death of piracy” (which has been proven false every time it was anounced by morons like you) has always brought with it, sales decrease. Something tells me those companies will be dead long before pirates because the games have become so expensive and aim at such a wide audience that it is IMPOSSIBRUUUUUUU to get those sales even on consoles.
Don’t f*ck with us pirates, we have light sabers. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e72034259a0e42a159ec49dc3ab441d02dd43e0ad9b147d9a9d0ffe7f07bbc05.jpg
it will have denuvo and always online cuz pirates are blah blah blah……
Yeah, those Somalian ones are really annoying.
Cry some more…. <3
No need to pay protection money.
this just sad the game is s**t but still this reduce the chances of getting a sequel only always online subscription and hardware based drm can fight piracy also you stop posting baits encrypted uwp is also a good option
If the game is s**t and you use denuvo to get sales you get what you deserve. Heck there are even dialogues that the voice actors burp and repeat their lines. Game is trash thats why it does not sell. No need for a sequel and uwp did not help recore and dead rising 4 sales. Piracy is irrelevant, good games and good prices are the only thing that matters.
piracy is relevant, good games and proper drm always online and hardware based drm is only way to combat the piracy piracy is irrelevant to use cause
it’s not your product
piracy is irrelevant it is the smallest it has ever been no game with aways online has ever sold well apart from diablo. You cant combat piracy, even always online games get cracked. If the game is trash thats your fault, if people buy other games instead of yours thats also your fault.
yes it does hurt katy perry also lost $140 million in one years.
it’s hurt the industry and it’s not irrelevant like you say $240 million for codbo
Interesting….. By the way, last year NASA wiped their *sses with $100 bills from the first of January to the 31st of December.
Link proof to your absurd allegations, or shove them up your *ss & f*ck off, already.
Pro-tip bud. All it takes is a few 1’s and 0’s to get a cracked game to execute. In the end, it’s simply a software permission.
The only problem is, finding the way to do it. If it’s made, it can be un-made.
Piracy has been around since the invention of recorded media. It is going nowhere, and the sooner shills like yourself and these corporate suits learn that dumping money down fruitless protection schemes is simply a waste of time and effort? The better for everyone.
bad idea….goodbye pc sales!
Ummmm dude the game has already been cracked…
game was cracked, somehow removing the drm, is killing pc sales. No the fact the game is broken kills the sales
I would say what is killing the sales is fact that its genre that so few people care about. Who play point-and-click adventure games anymore? Me…don’t even personally know single person who shares my love for this genre.
On top of that its not even good game in its own genre. There are better adventure games you can go and play….like PARADIGM!
The last good one i played was julia among the stars.
Adventure games were first games I ever played (old Czech ones) weirder the better. So for me its a nostalgic genre. I totally understand why its not more popular but…I just like it!
they are always down thanks to piracy
Oh really? And how can you prove that?
Prove what? That pc sales are down because of piracy yet he could use denuvo as an exampe why pc game sales are up?
There is nothing to prove when he doesnt even have a proper argument or consistant arguing and way of thinking.
actually gaming sales are down in general pc gaming salew are up. if you werent a troll you would say thats because of denuvo, but YOU F CKED UP and said that the sales are down because of piracy.
You f cked up boi!!!
Shill harder.
witcher 3 send regards 😀
Can’t wait to pirate it! ARRRRRR!
of course you will like all the other on this site
arrrrrrrrr
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Didn’t you realize it yet? EVERY single PC owner ever, in the entire history of time, is a pirate.
PC gaming is alive and well today, because we all pirate the living hell out of every single piece of software on PC. Nobody on PC invests a single penny into games, that’s why the PC gaming market didn’t shrivel up and die.
Piracy is great, otherwise, how would the PC still be a viable platform by any degree?
Doesn’t make any sense to you? Good, it’s not supposed to, just like your idiotic presumption that everybody is a friggen pirate.
Good. Now put it on GOG, patch and polish the game and put it on sale for $10 and I will buy it.
remove the game altogether, patch it and re-release it. I watched critikal playing it, it is a buggy mess.
Also the game without Denuvo boots up much faster, patched or not patched. Cracked version proved it. Read the (sort of) NFO that “certain person” released. bu bu but it won’t have any performance impact.
True, sooo true my friend.
people here are going to celebrate i bet
People propably will because the game loads faster without it. Pirates wont because they already got the game cracked. and the rest are waiting for this mess to be patched or dont bother at all.
Yes, because now game load faster and has less bugs 🙂
Why keep it on a game that nobody wants? It reviewed so poorly.
If anything, pirating it gives them a chance of a sale. Nobody will buy a bad game, but if they pirate it somehow like it.. they could buy it. Highly unlikely, cuz the game is a bad console port.. but still.
That is one step towards me buying it. Give me a full DRM free copy and a Linux version and we can talk business.
F**k Denuvo and any defenders of that digital vomit.
so its now without any protection, or just without denuovo with some others ?
No Denuvo, nothing else known.
Well, unless you count Steamworks.
i think denuovo guarantees you some time, for what it will not be cracked, and if yes, they will return your money back, but with this case, its bad joke
90 days, last we heard, though they may have shortened the refund period, if not outright eliminated it, in light of how much money it cost them last year.
i still wouldn’t buy it, they only removed it because it was cracked
it shows the hypocrisy of the said publisher
Gotta love how they remove Denuvo and on the same patch it also says “This new patch for Syberia 3 also improves overall performance” Coincidence? I think not C:
This game is such a disappointment. After years of wait, this is what we get?
To say Denuvo doesn’t mess up games nearly as much as people say means it does still mess up sometimes. Paying customers shouldn’t be put through that BS.
Nice try, but that one’s a report from 2015.
Here’s one from 2016, now;
“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Has Sold More Copies On PC Than Consoles Combined – Developer”
Can you say, pwnd?
#uck denuvo, trolls and devs who promote this scam money to the consumers and producers.
