A method of bypassing the hated Denuvo anti-piracy protection suddenly appeared. The company Irdeto announces urgent repairs.
Lately, the pirate world of video games has practically been on its knees. Anti-piracy protection Denuvo it became so multi-layered that breaking it down took too long for anyone to care. Pirated versions of major games thus appeared a year after release, if they appeared at all.
However, now there has been a big change. Some kind was found a new method to bypass Denuvo protectionwhich immediately opened the door cracking the latest games, as well as those whose protection has not been breached for months.
For those who consume illegally distributed versions of games, this development is celebrated as a pirate holiday. However, a new method of bypassing Denuvo protection it is quite invasive and is deeply integrated into the operating system itself, forcing the user to give up some basic security features.
For example, it is necessary, among other things, to turn off the digital signature check for drivers, with which Windows checks whether the driver is considered safe for the system.
In translation, for playing pirated games with Denuvo protection risk to the system itself and user safety in fact never been bigger.
The company Irdeto, which owns Denuvo, has promised an immediate fix for this flaw, and they have noted that these fixes will not negatively affect game performance. As soon as they have to emphasize it… somehow we doubt that it will be like that.
For games whose protection has been broken, the damage has already been done. Patching Denuv in this case will only help future games that will use this protection.
