Denuvo fixes bypass exploit, pirated games can no longer be activated

Two days ago, we informed you about a bypass “crack” for id Software’s DOOM. This bypass, created by Voksi, used the game’s demo in order to trick Steam into thinking that PC gamers were playing the demo itself instead of an illegal/pirated version of the game.

It will be fixed again.

and then cracked

and then fixed

it's an endless cycle

Activemessiah3222d ago

....then cracked again o_O

neoandrew3221d ago

Nope, cuz the cycle end when it is cracked, at least for single game, then even without updates, it is playable.

this bypass method is more likely steam exploit
steam think your legit user or something like that
no one can use this method again because they fixed
like cheating in online games cheaters need to find another way when devs fixed the old method

but a real crack for the game released after they exploit fixed

glassgannon9093221d ago

It got cracked minutes after the patch.
Like an actual crack, not a bypass.
Its kind of funny when you think about it.
Also, no, this cant be patched...they can amp up their security for future games but not the previous ones.

What this really did was reminded hackers how much praise and status they get from taking down places like Denuvo. Vorksi was given god like status for just a bypass, which admittedly took a lot of skill. I am sure Vorksi and others knew this would be patched and they where expecting it. The question is, what did Denuvo team reveal in order to patch this game? If they revealed something valuable, which is almost certain they did, then it could spell the end of their dominant status.

As it stands, Rise of The Tomb Raider is now fully cracked. I dont think it will stop just there, the next few weeks should be really interesting to say in the least.

CPY team who cracked Denuvo back then (Lords of the Fallen, Arkham Knight, BF Hardline) already cracked Rise of The Tomb Raider. Cracked, not bypassed.

And they said Just Cause 3 will be cracked within a week.

RIP in Piece Denuvo.

Lonnie183221d ago

Eventually technology will be in place that is out of reach and uncrackable by human standards...so have fun now while you can lol!

You know that RIP means 'rest in peace?' You didn't have to put "RIP in Piece"

Eiffel3220d ago

Probably intentionally meant to be redundant. It's a meme afterall.

freshslicepizza3221d ago

"As Voksi noted, at least 600K gamers were able to play/test the bypassed Denuvo games in the last 3 days."

holy moly, lots of pirates out in the sea

Skate-AK3221d ago

Always has been, always will be.

Putting Ads in a pay-to-play Premium title? Well done Microsoft. Well done /s This is really scummy.

jjb19812d ago

This game will never change because these sweatlords love buying up all the skins and bundles that become obsolete the following year. They're the ones perpetuating Activision's greed.

If Microsoft introduces adverts into its other games I hope it can do them without disrupting the immersion of the game world. So for example in the new Fable game it would look out of place if there was a billboard advertising Cadillacs.

A far better way to do it would be to have a wizard conjure a 'dream cloud' in front of your character and then in the cloud you can see the Cadillac car and see the text with price and availability and hear a booming sales voice promoting the car. That would work so well as it wouldn't be a billboard and completely, 100%, fit in with your character's adventuring in Albion. Doesn't that sound so much better?!

crazyCoconuts2d ago

@venom, or how about our of 100 farts in Albion, 1 of them has a Cadillac pop out

VenomUK2d ago

@crazyCoconuts That’s undeniably off-beat - but it could really work!
