Like I needed more reason to never buy games with Denuvo. But hey added to the list.

denuvo can suck my balls

That was definitely a thing trying to get Monster Hunter Wilds to work when it first came out.

What's the fix, presumably it must sure that data somewhere, or is it an online DRM? No interest in buying the game as they fuck over the UK on pricing, it's so expensive here, more than Australia too.

One more reason why I don't see Proton as a replacement for official native support. Things can and will break, and they'll say it's not their problem because they only support Windows.

That's fair.

From my POV, Denuvo isn't my problem because they don't support Linux.

So if I never buy a game with Denuvo, I guess I'm good and I'll be one more lost customer. Oh well for me, oh well for them.

I don't really see myself as missing anything from modern AAA gaming, so no loss, here.

This sounds like a challenge almost. Why is this behaviour not flooding their support and legal team?

[-] loren@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

This game frankly sucks anyways. I played it for 2 hours and refunded it. Awful performance and incoherent as fuck gameplay.

Performance hit might be due to Denuvo too. I think it was the Harry Potter game that was terrible with Denuvo, but the cracked version run like a breeze

Denuvo has a set limit on the amount of activations it allows per-game. This is five systems it detects within 24 hours.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Just boykott games using this kind of shit.

[-] uncooked24@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Happened to me with Persona 4 a couple years ago. Got locked out of the game for 24 hours because I was trying to make FMVs work.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Should every game be forced to support your chosen platform? I don’t see Mac users acting like this.

[-] juipeltje@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

This isn't even a platform issue per se, windows user complain just as much about denuvo, allbeit for different reasons.

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

They do, but this is a compatibility problem first and foremost. And as a Mac user since the 90s, that’s glaringly obvious to me.

It sucks that DRM is the wrench in the gears of Proton. But the game doesn’t have official support.
