Recently, the developers of Atomic Heart announced the release of a small update. Mundfish did not go into details; the patch notes used a general wording:
Fixed bugs. Improved game client stability.
However, players noticed that Denuvo, which had been used to protect the PC version of the game for over three years, was removed from Atomic Heart. At the same time, the game's Steam page has not yet been updated and still contains a DRM protection notice.
The game had already been cracked — the DRM was bypassed using a "hypervisor" method. However, this method creates additional risks for PC players, as it requires disabling security systems. Atomic Heart was also subsequently cracked by traditional means: voices38 announced this summer that he had managed to break the protection.
It is noteworthy that the removal of Denuvo coincided with another event — Atomic Heart was officially released on Russian Steam, and the shooter also became available in other CIS countries. Previously, for these regions, it was only available on PC through the VK Play service.
Currently, Mundfish is developing the sequel Atomic Heart 2 and the project The CUBE.
