DRM protection systems on PC sometimes create major problems for owners of licensed products.
Recently, some PC gamers began complaining about problems with games using Denuvo — they may fail to launch at all. Not only Steam users have encountered this, but also users of the Russian service VK Play.
Atomic Heart, which is protected by Denuvo, is sold in this store. A user with the nickname vr1razor encountered this problem and contacted support, where he was advised to "relocate" (virtually):
To resolve the issue, we recommend trying to launch the game using an alternative method of connecting to the internet that allows changing the computer's virtual location.
As practice shows, such problems with launching PC games protected by Denuvo can indeed disappear if the player logs in from outside Russia. It is assumed that users cannot connect to the DRM protection server, and therefore the verification procedure does not go through.
