Denuvo protection of Conan Exiles cracked with the fault of the developers themselves

  • 55

The creators of Denuvo protection have been saying for long time that their DRM system is not foolproof but its goal is to protect the game from piracy as long as possible, assuming that the games are most sold after releasing, so the damage is somehow minimize if the pirate version is not available during the launch. To them this was not exactly a consolation as Resident Evil 7 whose protection was breached just week after the game went on sale, but in the case of Conan Exiles at least can be justified how the blame is not on them.

The Conan Exiles in pirate version appeared just two days after the release. For a game with Denuvo protection that is significant speed of "distribution", but the truth is that in this case Denuvo has not been cracked in the full of the sense. Protection, ironically, removed game developer that also decided on it.

Conan Exiles like that was updated with the new version in which with the negligence of the developers, completely accidental, Denuvo was removed from the build of the game that was released on Steam. When the development team Funcom spotted an error, the quicker the better the flaw was repaired by bringing Denuvo back, but for supressing the piracy it was already too late. As the game does not require matching with the build version on the official servers, Conan the Barbarian like that got whipped before he could even really fairly take hold.

Denuvo will drop off the face of the Earth soon enough, only to give rise to yet another copy protection system. I buy all my games legally, because of the hassles of pirating, but they should save their money and just worry about selling the game at a price that people will buy it at.

For instance, people that pirate Conan Exiles are pirating a $30 game..seriously? Buy the game, support the devs!

It's not about piracy alone. I saw many people complain in forums about Denuvo making their legit bought games run awfully. I couldn't verify this on my setup but given that all this people aren't liars it might be a valid reason to go for a Denuvo free version even if you bought the game.
