The other proposition is that Bethesda witnessed the fiasco around Denuvo’s ‘protection’ in recent days and decided not to invest in something that wasn’t going to provide value for money.

Exactly why we’ll likely never know, but the theory doesn’t really gel with them including it in the review code reviewed by DSO Gaming earlier this week. One possibility is that all along Bethesda never intended to use Denuvo on the final release. This raises a number of scenarios, none of them good for Denuvo. As shown by the title’s NFO (information) file, the only protection present was that provided by Steam. For reasons best known to developer Bethesda, Denuvo was completely absent from the title.

Early yesterday afternoon, however, the title leaked early onto the Internet, courtesy of cracking group CODEX.Īt first view, it looked like CODEX had cracked Denuvo before the game’s official launch but after the dust had settled, the reality was somewhat different. As such, we can confirm that Denuvo is present in it.”Īs you read this, October 13, 2017, The Evil Within 2 is enjoying its official worldwide launch. “Bethesda has provided us with a review code for The Evil Within 2. “Another upcoming title that will be using Denuvo is The Evil Within 2,” the site reported. The site, which is often a reliable source for Denuvo-related news, confirmed that the code was indeed protected by Denuvo. This Tuesday, DSO Gaming reported that it had received a review copy of Bethesda’s then-upcoming survival horror game, The Evil Within 2. But while this is bad news for the anti-tamper technology, there could be a worse enemy crossing the horizon – no confidence. Needless to say, this development was met with absolute glee by pirates, who forgave the additional day taken to crack the game in order to welcome CODEX into the anti-Denuvo club. This means there are now close to half a dozen entities with the ability to defeat Denuvo, which isn’t a good look for the anti-piracy outfit. Instead of the crack appearing courtesy of scene groups STEAMPUNKS or CPY, which has largely been the tradition thus far this year, old favorite CODEX stepped up to the mark with their own efforts. While this didn’t beat the record set by Warhammer 2, the scene was given an unexpected gift. On Wednesday, action role-playing game Middle Earth: Shadow of War was cracked a day after launch. By most measurements, in fact, the situation appears to have gotten worse.
In the less than two weeks that have passed since, things haven’t improved much. After aiming to hold off pirates for the first few lucrative weeks and months after launch, the Denuvo-protected Total War: Warhammer 2 fell to pirates in a matter of hours. With cracking groups chipping away at the system for the past few months, progressing in leaps and bounds, the race to the bottom was almost complete. At this point, it seems that's about the most publishers can reasonably hope for if they sign on with the anti-tamper technology today.At the end of September we reported on a nightmare scenario for videogame anti-tamper technology Denuvo. Big Ben Interactive, which later picked up the publishing rights for the title, told TechRaptor it added Denuvo protection to protect "those first days and weeks of sales" from the effects of piracy.īig Ben did indeed get a little over a month of effective piracy protection for 2Dark from its embrace of Denuvo. That's because the developers of 2Dark originally promised to release a DRM-free version of the game in a 2014 European crowdfunding campaign. That also means Mass Effect: Andromeda, which had Denuvo v4 patched in alongside other improvements after launch, may soon see a cracked version that includes the game's post-launch updates.Īs TorrentFreak points out, the new crack comes with some small level of ironic glee for the cracking community. Still, the 2Dark crack proves that the newly revamped version of the DRM is just as breakable as the old version (which was itself considered unbreakable for quite a while).
