Enhanced Denuvo bypassed — hackers begin testing Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Denuvo was long considered a robust DRM that only a few hackers could handle. However, an alternative approach to the DRM subsequently emerged — people simply began bypassing it using a hypervisor.

This method entails additional risks for PC players, as launching such “cracks” requires disabling security systems. Otherwise, though, it was quite effective: it allowed pirates to jump into new releases shortly after their PC debut. However, an issue arose with Star Wars: Galactic Racer, which came out in early October of this year — the creators of Denuvo introduced an upgraded version of the protection, and the usual hypervisor method failed to work.

Yet it seems an upgraded version of the hypervisor for bypassing the protection is on the way. A few weeks later, a hacker going by the handle artifact announced that they are looking for testers to evaluate the improved method of bypassing Denuvo. The tests will be conducted not only with Star Wars: Galactic Racer, but also with Planet Zoo 2.

Currently, artifact is collecting applications from pirate forum members. They did not specify how long they plan to test the enhanced method of bypassing Denuvo in games.
