I genuinely wish nothing but the worst for Denuvo. Scum of the earth. DRM sucks, I do my best to avoid games with Denuvo.

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

There is a class action law suit coming together on this.

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.

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.

Just boykott games using this kind of shit.

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.
