In recent months, tech enthusiasts have been able to "crack" dozens of PC games that were protected with Denuvo. This uses a method with a hypervisor: the DRM system is simply bypassed.
Although launching such "cracks" requires disabling security systems, many players take this risk and play pirated new releases. The creators of Denuvo have taken note of this.
Recently, an Irdeto representative commented on the situation with the hypervisor. According to Daniel Buchegger, the company will fight this method of cracking Denuvo:
We are already working on security system updates for games whose protection has been bypassed using a hypervisor.
Buchegger has not yet explained how they plan to improve Denuvo. However, he claims that these measures will "not affect performance."
Not all players believe him and fear that the improved version of DRM protection will further degrade the performance of games on PC.
