according to Messages circulating on the Internet, DenufOwOThe group behind the hypervisor-based Denuvo bypass will be disbanded. The reason was not made clear, but a source close to the matter said pirate scene considered that the decision was relevant to the proceedings brought Irdeto takes on famous cracker Voices38. It should be noted that we are talking about unauthorized software that, in order to function, disable some system-level protections and are therefore not completely safe.
The war is still going on
The current atmosphere can be seen from the forum Lin CSwill usually appear as the first link to games unlocked through the DenuvOwO bypass. The site removed all links to these titles and banned some members of the group. Despite being hosted in Russia, the most likely explanation is that CS.Rin wants to reduce the risk of being affected by international regulations, e.g. DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act, U.S. Copyright Act of 1998), Irdeto is turning to multiple third-party services to track Voices38’s identity. The leak caused some concern at the site, but that shouldn’t stop it Denuvo cracked. DenuvOwO’s work is based on commonly used open source tools, and it is believed that others will be able to replicate it with relative ease.
PC version of Final Fantasy 7: Revelations will be protected by Denuvo
Meanwhile, Voices38 himself has previously said in response to the lawsuit that “everything is fine” and “everything will continue as usual” and continues his work. The RUNE organization, which has been active for some time, has also targeted Denuvo. A few days ago, it released a proof-of-concept crack for “Assassin’s Creed: Phantoms”, deleting both in one fell swoop. Denuvo tamper-proof and VMProtect immune to executables. In short, the situation is far from calm, and this disappearance may intensify efforts against the notorious DRM.
It should also be noted that, as has happened in other cases, the cleaned version runs better than the original version: +15% average FPS and +76% minimum frame rate, measured on high-end configurations Intel Core i7-13700K e RTX 5080. The size of the main executable also dropped significantly, from 496 MB to 102 MB, which is not surprising considering how large the archive is: the crack eliminated 34 functions of VMProtect virtualization, 200 VM cores of Denuvo, 261 function obfuscations, and 25,000 function relocations.
