This time around the company might have a point, though.

    The security issues listed seem like a really really big problem. It’s a step forward in the sense of being a new tool to fuck DRM, but very crude right now. Still, I’m curious as to what the fuck necessitates running a hypervisor with priviliges even greater than the OS.

      You know … I realise how little I know about this cracking scene when I can’t even figure out why DRM makes calls to the kernel level that need to be faked.

    Love to see it, but the continued reliance on Windows for gaming is the bigger problem.

      Unfortunately, so far it seems this hypervisor bypass thing is windows-only.

          Denuvo itself doesn’t cause problems with Proton.

    I feel like the hypervisor thing might be enough to keep denuvo in business.
