Does someone knows how it will work?
- Some wine/proton wizardry
- Gaming VM with GPU passthrough
Please God’s of piracy hurry, I’d like to delete my windows install. After 2+ years of Linux only, I caved and setup a windows partition just to play first light.
Piracy and razer are the only fucking reasons I have a Windows computer in the house.
Razer just released a web based synapse so you don’t need their shitty software actually installed now. Just a matter of waiting for all the devices to be rolled out and supported.
So between that and this. I can hopefully fully ditch windows. Will be so fucking nice
You could also just stop using razer products.
Yep.
If you’re looking for a mouse, the moddo mouse is a new project with a lot of promise. The next firmware release is supposed to drastically reduce latency

I feel like the answer is to have all competitions be centralized on special competition computers. You physically travel to a centralized convention or whatever and have to use equipment set up just for the competition that’s been checked for mechanical and software fairness the same as the ball etc get tested for a professional sports game. You can practice at home with whatever software you want but if you want to be properly competitive you’re going to want to practice on an uncracked game (or even cracked against you).
I prefer proper cracks like the good old groups CODEX/EMPRESS/CRY/Razor1911/SKIDROW/RELOADED/HOODLUM or modern Voices38
I wonder how much do these kind of dunovo bypasses (hypervisor) affect performance?
They actually run fine, even better than stock. The issue is that running them requires disabling a lot of security features. So you’re not really supposed to keep your computer in the bypassed state all the time. The goal is that you reboot into bypass, play the game, and then reboot again to return to normal afterwards.
Lol that sounds awful. Like going back to the days where I needed to reboot to windows to play games.
I’ll just stick to games without rootkits or with them properly stripped out.
Words can’t express how much joy it gives me to see Denuvo get defeated. Smug bastards thought their malware was impenetrable.
what is DenuvOwO?
Hypervisor crack. It’s a new type of hack that can bypass denuvo, and it works for any game; unlike the old way where you need to crack each game independently
The catch is that it needs kernel access to work, on Windows at least.
Welp, that would explain why seemingly every Denuvo game has been getting cracked, lately.
I suspected somebody(s) had just figured out how to bypass the entire thing, but hadn’t had that confirmed untill now.
Actually there has been a cracker named voices something, who has been cracking a lot of denuvo games these past months.
Yeah, that they’ve even been going back and cracking older games that shipped with Denuvo, but had not been cracked around their initiap release date… suggested to me that somebody figured out some method that applied more globally to Denuvo itself, as opposed to particular implementations of it.
does the bypass work in a virtual machine?
Sorry, no clue
Cool thanks!
According to their now deleted Reddit account, it will use a custom Proton build on Intel and Zen 4 CPUs. For every other CPU you will need a kernel module.
Normal hypervisor bypass on windows also requires AMD zen 4 or Intel ivy bridge?
no, windows hypervisor bypasses run with hypervisor. The only requirement is virtualization support, any modern cpu that is capable of running the game at all should support it.
Correction: usermode is only supported by zen4 (or newer) and intel Ivy Bridge (or newer).
The reason is pretty simple: only from those generations onwards a new instruction was added (cpuid faulting) which is executed in the hardware itself, old generations simply lacks the silicon for it.
cpu faulting is used to trap usermode cpuid calls and can be used to return spoofed values, without needing an hypervisor.
If ivy bridge then from 3 gen which means pretty much any Intel made from 2012.
But for AMD from 7000 series which means CPU from 2022.
It sucks to be AMD user.
yeah, more on that: linux kernel has support for cpuid faulting for supported intel cpus since 2017, while amd since only last year. Not sure why amd was slower on this.
I wonder if the new 5800X3D will support it. I’d give it maybe a 1% chance. I doubt they changed all that much. Sure would be nice for people on AM4, though.
No, 5800x3d is zen3 sadly.
But you can actually test it with a small python script:
# docs: https://man.archlinux.org/man/arch_prctl.2 import ctypes import errno import mmap import os import signal import subprocess import sys SYS_arch_prctl = 158 ARCH_SET_CPUID = 0x1012 libc = ctypes.CDLL(None, use_errno=True) libc.syscall.restype = ctypes.c_long def arch_set_cpuid(enabled: bool) -> None: rc = libc.syscall(SYS_arch_prctl, ARCH_SET_CPUID, 1 if enabled else 0) if rc != 0: e = ctypes.get_errno() raise OSError(e, os.strerror(e)) def make_cpuid_stub(): # push rbx # xor eax, eax # cpuid # pop rbx # ret code = b"\x53\x31\xc0\x0f\xa2\x5b\xc3" mm = mmap.mmap( -1, len(code), flags=mmap.MAP_PRIVATE | mmap.MAP_ANONYMOUS, prot=mmap.PROT_READ | mmap.PROT_WRITE | mmap.PROT_EXEC, ) mm.write(code) addr = ctypes.addressof(ctypes.c_char.from_buffer(mm)) func = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None)(addr) func._mm = mm return func def child(): cpuid = make_cpuid_stub() print("Trying normal CPUID...") cpuid() print("Normal CPUID worked.") try: arch_set_cpuid(False) except OSError as e: if e.errno == errno.ENODEV: print("CPU does not support CPUID faulting.") return 2 raise print("CPUID disabled for this thread. Calling CPUID again...") cpuid() # should SIGSEGV -11 if faulting is supported print("Unexpected: CPUID did not fault.") return 0 if __name__ == "__main__": if len(sys.argv) > 1 and sys.argv[1] == "child": raise SystemExit(child()) p = subprocess.run([sys.executable, __file__, "child"], text=True) print(f"child exit code: {p.returncode}") if p.returncode == -signal.SIGSEGV: print("Result: CPUID faulting is supported and worked.") elif p.returncode == 2: print("Result: CPUID faulting is not supported by the hardware.") else: print("Result: test did not complete cleanly.")I was referring to AMD bringing the 5800X3D out of retirement. They said that they redesigned it. It’s probably just moving the cache under the CPU like on Zen5 3D, but I feel like there’s a very slight chance.
They just adapted it to their current fabrication processes afaik, everything else should be exactly the same as the old ones.
you will need a kernel module.
Yeah, Nah. That’s a nope, especially given it can be done in proton. Also, updated Denuvo in 3.2.1…
Denuvo, just say no.
If kernel module is foss it can be checked
Fair cop.
Still no to Denuvo, any studio using it should be spanked.
No it cannot be done with proton alone. Proton/wine is only a translation layer: if a program makes cpuid calls, proton/wine cannot intercept them because cpuid is executed directly on hardware silicon.
Kinda sucks for other architectures if only ryzen 7000 is supported
Or if building proton for different architectures is feasible.
Hopefully it won’t need root or a hypervisor.
If it makes some wine/proton wizardry, amazing! Else if it’s just like Windows, that shit will never enter my system
It already works through heroic. I was able to get the cracked resident evil working the day after release.
The RE crack is not a HV Denuvo bypass, but a full-on Denuvo removal. That’s why it works via Proton
not a HV Denuvo bypass, but a full-on Denuvo removal
The only way to fly. And why pirating games is a better experience than actually paying for them.
Neat, I didn’t know that.
Isn’t the last game to get Denuvo completely removed by a cracker Assassin’s Creed Origins?
This voices38 guy has done an amazing work at removing denuvo these past few months. Hell they even cracked the Lego Batman game on day one, no hipervisor needed!
Did he actually remove all traces of Denuvo from the executable, like it was done for Fe back in 2023 by Skidrow, or is it just a bypass crack?
From what I’ve seen on the cs rin ru forum threads, the crack overwrites the game executable and uses a custom dll. So presumably it does remove all significant Denuvo parts (enough for it to be played on linux) but I’m not knowledgable enough to know to which extent
nope it doesnt, voices cracks use a similar method to old cpy cracks: they reverse engeneered denuvo hardware fingerprint generation, so the crack can generate a working fingerprint of any pc, skipping the “steam ownership” check. Denuvo checks still run, but it sees a “good” fingerprint so it doesnt crash the game.
Still it’s not an easy task, denuvo is obfuscated like hell and requires a lot of knowledge and time to catch all the quirks.
Is there instruction?
Install using heroic, switch Proton versions until it works.
Then you are using normal crack not hypervisor bypass
