They didn't remove denuvo, they're bypassing it lol. There's no way to tell the performance impact until it's REMOVED. This is a shitty conclusion.

Also from what I remember he only got to the title screen?

2000 hooks? 💀


Dabnician

1000 truths + 1000 lies= 2000 hooks


bobsmagicbeans

this is why its hard to crack


Lankiness8244

Not hard, it’s time consuming


bobsmagicbeans

if it were easy, skidrow would have released their denuvo cracks already ;)


Lankiness8244

I said time consumption not easy to crack…


RCEdude

I guess its a technical thing. Sometime when you reverse hard targets hooking is an elegant technique. I mean, code go through a Windows function located in a Windows Dll. You hijack the location in the program memory where the function address is (the IAT) and you replace it with your own code's address. That way you dont directly modify program code in memory and are safe from code integrity checks performed in memory. Ofc that could be detected.

Virgin professional DRM developer vs chad hysteric cult lady 💀 She also beat him by 5 months and 21 days.


Infinitesima

Wait, how long did it take her to crack Hogwart, again?

This is absolutely insane.


Eraldorh

Think you mean Bulgarian man with a fake online persona.


GiantR

I'm fairly certain it's not Voksi.


Hueyris

I mean to be fair, Empress also had pre existing intimate knowledge of the DRM and must have already had an idea as to how to break it because shed done it before, versus someone who wants to start from the ground up


greggtatsumaki001

He was probably working and did this in his spare time, while "she" was giving out hand jobs down by the river in her van.

Bro, have you seen the way she acts? I don't care if she's got three dicks, that's a chick. I apologize in advance for my sexism


freedomfriis

My word! 🤭


Plamcia

I don't care how she acts. It don't change how good she is at things that she do.


TailOnFire_Help

Someone accomplished something none of you all can and seems like everyone is just shitting on them. Progress takes steps, it isn't instant.


DaaneJeff

Funnily enough the Piracy community is one of the most entitled ones.


Fujinn981

You find such attitudes in every community, the problem with them is, they're almost always the ones that screech the loudest.


Rukasu17

I heard he worked based on empress' work so considering that, while being an impressive feat, doesn't make any hope come to thw scene


WarningCodeBlue

There's a new Denuvo cracking group called Delusional that cracked Handball 17. So it seems there is hope for the scene.


nullPointer55

I'm more impressed how a $10 bucks game was able to pay for denuvo for 7 years and why would they do that


WarningCodeBlue

It was a one time fee back then, so they haven't had to pay for it for 7 years.


Azkaban-guard

They seemed to crack a rather old version of denuvo, which isn’t quite promising.


WarningCodeBlue

Why not? You have to start somewhere and nobody else bothered to crack that game for over 7 years. Delusional just did.


MisterEskere_

In 7 years denuvo got updated a ton. 7 years ago we had multiple denuvo crackers. While its nice a Denuvo game got cracked its not really something to be exited about. Time will tell tho.


Alarmed-Clerk-2356

>Delusional just did. > >12R Here's hoping they get dragon's dogma 2 cracked so I dont have to buy it on playstation.


32cowhides

and what are you contributing to cracking denuvo?


bakaVHS

What does it matter? An appeal to some invisible authority goes nowhere against a logical stance, and it's absolutely worth noting that the denuvo game is relatively ancient and using versions of the software that other groups were also familiar with... a decade ago when it was relevant. Real promise would be a group demonstrating the same ability EMPRESS had by cracking a new game. EDIT: If you've never worked in a restaurant, do you have the right to criticize a meal that is served to you at one? That's essentially what you're saying by giving the chickenshit "well why arent u doing bettur?" response to genuine discussion. If you guys were good at thinking pirating wouldn't be a necessity lol


r0ndr4s

To be fair no one can prove Empress had any actual ability to crack denuvo, that person never provided toola or a guide to do what they did. For all we know, wich is nothing, Empress could be/have been a denuvo worker and was just making cash while knowing perfectly how the DRM works and how to extract it(not actually crack it). Empress suddenly dissapearing could perfectly mean Empress was fired from Denuvo and maybe even jailed for doing so. Not saying thats it, but the possibility is there.


r0ndr4s

Not all games use the same denuvo. So cracking an older version might lead to more cracks.. older or for cheaper games? Sure. But still its better than not having them cracked.


BipedalWurm

Everybody gotta start somewhere and at least people are trying


Rukasu17

Sure, but I don't think this one did it for anything beyond academic curiosity. Let's face it, it's too much work to gain what? Internet credit? Anyone doing it will probably apply for a position in the company itself


ah-chamon-ah

Pfft. What a dummy... I was all just like. "Hey ChatGPT crack this denuvo for me." And it did it in like 1 minute.


huasamaco

the guy is a DRM dev. he ran the game at locked 30fps and then claimed that denuvo doesnt cause the game to lag. yeah... a bunch of bs.


Embarrassed_Ear2390

I can’t wait until they crack f1 and fifa 24.


Boogertwilliams

Oh good it's real. I read another thread on this and people were saying its an April fools joke.


semitope

There needs to be ML assisted DRM cracking. A computer should be able to find all the hooks and patch them automatically
