the funniest thing about it here is that although in both Origins and Odyssey my computer is enough for the recommended requirements, still Valha, which should require a lot more from the machine, spins me better than either of the previous Assasins Creed. Other exambe is Star Wars fallen order, before they take denuvo out of it it was unplayable, now i can play it just fine with out any problems.
#Denuvo full#
And when Squire enix removed Denuvo from Shadow and Rise of tomb raider my average fps rose at its worst from 30-40 fps to a full steady sixty. My friends pirated version runs just fine in those places too and fps never drops under 44. So my point, my Origins runs other fine but in Memphis and Alexandria there is huge FPS drops, and i mean huge, other parts of the game runs fine stable 60 fps and in in the above places there is drops sometimes as low as 26fps. We even got same motherboard asrock 990 extreme 3.
#Denuvo Pc#
I have legit version of AC Origins, and as you can see my pc meets the recommend reguirments, my friend has pirated version of codex AC Origins, and he has identical hardware like me. It is very funny that Ubisoft still claims that denuvo and other dmr malwares do not affect performance, yeah right. Lack of DRM hasn't harmed CDPR's bottom line so it won't affect Ubisoft's i have my self very old nearly stone age amd fx 8350, with 16gb 1866mhz dd3 and GTX 1660 ti. So until Ubisoft stops this anti-consumer policy I will not be purchasing Valhalla. If I buy a game on Steam, it clearly says in a gold field " incorporates 3rd Party DRM Denuvo Anti-tamper".
I also take exception with the fact that it's not clearly stated on the store page that a particular game will be installing this malware.
#Denuvo Offline#
I can't even play a game offline without Denuvo. Longer loading times and frame rate dips are common as Denuvo "verifies" you have a legit copy. Besides, isn't Ubisoft Connect a form of DRM? The store page says that your game will be activated via Ubisoft Connect after all.Īdditionally, Denuvo has been shown to have a negative impact on PC performance. So honest consumers get this malware forced on them to hinder the few that try to pirate the game. It's supposed to stop piracy, but (at best) it just slows down how long it takes to crack.
Hopefully this all gets tidied up soon, as although a lot of these games are relatively old and/or have diminished playerbases, the number of games so adversely affected by brand-new CPUs should really be zero.As the title says I would hope that Ubisoft will come to its senses and stop forcing this malware on us. Sure enough, I checked the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero I’ve been using, and couldn’t find any such Legacy mode in the BIOS. However, as PCMag discovered, this mode isn’t available on all Alder Lake-compatible motherboards, and will need to added later via an update. This is supposed to be doable by enabling “Legacy Game Compatibility Mode” in your motherboard BIOS, then tapping the Scroll Lock key to place put the E-cores on standby. While getting busy with actual fixes (alongside Denuvo themselves), Intel have at least suggested a workaround, which involves temporarily disabling the E-cores while you play games. Even so, it’s a big shame, given these are otherwise some of the best CPUs for gaming.
#Denuvo windows#
I say “might” because when I was testing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Windows 11 for our Intel Core i5-12600K and Intel Core i9-12900K reviews, it appeared to perform fine throughout, never crashing or failing to load - so too you might get lucky and avoid Denuvo getting confused. Hoo boy, that’s a lot of games that should work but might not.
#Denuvo windows 10#
Here are all the Denuvo games that might have trouble on 12th gen chips across Windows 10 and 11:Īnd these are the games that are affected on Windows 10 specifically: Intel have also promised to fix the rest, though haven’t offered a timeframe for doing so. Of the latter, some games – marked with an asterisk in the list below – should get better on Windows 11 after a mid-November patch. Some games will work fine on Windows 11 but not Windows 10, and while some are reportedly affected across both operating systems. In the affected games, Denuvo is mistaking the E-cores as being from a different system altogether, resulting in crashes and failures to load properly. Unfortunately, the problem seems to be caused by Alder Lake’s most interesting new feature: the mix of Performance cores (P-cores) and smaller Efficiency cores (E-cores).
