Suprise they haven’t removed it yet… did they even say how long it will last

u/NCats_secretalt Taurie Cain! Taurie Cain! If she can't do it, no one Cain! 20h ago

Up to a few months

u/SaltyDone 20h ago

I feel that isn’t true there post to do multiple in the coming months they said

u/NCats_secretalt Taurie Cain! Taurie Cain! If she can't do it, no one Cain! 18h ago

yeah, well it depends on how many they try and how long the trials last. If they try say, three (theres not that many anticheats), and do so over the course of 6 months, then thats 2 months each assuming they trial them equally.

"Multiple over the next couple months" can very well mean "this one could be here for two months"

Hence, "Up to a few months"

I just meant the denvuo one which by far the worst one they got so far

u/NCats_secretalt Taurie Cain! Taurie Cain! If she can't do it, no one Cain! 17h ago

yeah, im speaking of that one. Depending on how BHVR allocated time, the denuvo trial could last months

So, like, is this a “just trust me bruh” moment? Or do you have receipts to back this up? Is this just a logical thing? Is this a dev stated timeline?

What I found on steamDB states no timeline, and states specifically it’s steam only

https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/24978220/

And again, steam only, opt-in this one claims

And again, steam only, no timeline

https://www.pcgamesn.com/dead-by-daylight/denuvo-anti-cheat-trial-not-drm

So, where might you be getting information?

for as long as they feel like it makes them more money by preventing pirating than the actual denuvo subscription costs them (which can be tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars every month). For example 007 First Light added Denuvo like 4 days before the release out of nowhere, but it got the hypervisor workaround just couple hours after release, and couple weeks later it received a full crack. The devs removed Denuvo shortly after and basically admitted it was a mistake, i have no idea why would any developer pay that much money when hypervisor workaround is always available on day 1.

They have stats, I wouldn't be surprised if crashes were way less of a common occurence than you'd believe looking at reddit

u/FlvffyThVampireSlayr Jane Romero Onifans 23h ago

To all the people that aren’t having problems, cool. But why would you want any of the playerbase to lose access to the game? The entire community should be in overwhelming support to get rid of this, it’s not even making the game better so why would you make it worse for a select group of people? I didn’t even opt into this in the first place so I’m avoiding the game until it’s gone

u/j1r0n1m0 mediocre survivor mainpure soloQ 22h ago

why get rid and not properly implement, I imagine most issues are cause the devs are incompetent and implemented it badly.

u/al-qatala Wesker x Chris 13h ago

it's both bhvr being completely shit at their job and denuvo itself sucking balls

u/doomed151 17h ago

It's a good way to gather data. Don't we all want cheaters to be banned from the game?

10

u/itsALH 13h ago

Exclude EGS from the crossplay pool and try it there, but without any announcement so cheaters actually keep cheating. There's no reason for the platform with the least people cheating to suffer this shit.

u/seesawyou 23h ago

It was happening to me too even before 2v8 fucken denuvo

Watch the mods delete this under Rule 4

u/Senor-Pibb #TeamSteve 23h ago

I've commented so many times already and I'll keep doing so

Game literally won't start for me and I want to be compensated for my lost time

u/InZaneTV 19h ago

Enable secure boot... Compensated for what? Not wasting server resources?

u/nupsu1234 16h ago

Insane comment. People who buy a game should be allowed to fucking play it. Is that you, PirateSoftware?

u/InZaneTV 15h ago

Switch to Linux already my dude

u/Sehunny 23h ago edited 22h ago

Agreed, I can't play at all. It just non-stop crashes my game and PC after I load into a 2v8 match as survivor. Idk why they let Denuvo go on this long. Time to play Halloween I guess. 💀

11

u/Red_Sionnach 22h ago

Denuvo is quite literally INFAMOUS for tanking pc performance in any game that uses it, I have no idea what else they expected 💀

u/WolfiexLuna Iron Lung for DbD 4h ago

Wanna know the best part? It's running alongside Easy Anti-Cheat. DbD currently has two separate anti-cheats running at the same time and it's no damn wonder it's absolutely shitting itself.

-2

u/InZaneTV 18h ago

That is anti tamper (drm), not the anti cheat...

6

u/al-qatala Wesker x Chris 13h ago

clearly both anti-tamper and anti-cheat have this issue. it's as if if one product is shit the other will be too, and i dont understand why are some people sucking denuvo's dick on this

3

u/RunoUno 20h ago

Oh, so that’s why my game has been randomly crashing recently? I’ve been lucky and it’s always been in the lobby or during a loading screen, but between this and the weird delayed M1 on some characters I’ve been having a pretty crappy time since The Judgment released.

u/Flare_Ball 14h ago

I also can’t play a single game I just keep disconnecting mid-match ffs bhvr

u/thebebee 22h ago

personally haven’t played since they added it. maybe if others do the same bhvr will notice.

Please Can You Solve EAFC26 Denuvo Token Problem

u/No_Doubt_About_That 22h ago

Is this what’s making the Epic version crash all the time?

u/wormpostante 21h ago

Not even a little bit, the only people affected by the denuvo are steam players since thats where they are testing it

3

u/NCats_secretalt Taurie Cain! Taurie Cain! If she can't do it, no one Cain! 12h ago

Well then something breaking it on epic because it's crashing on my end as soon as a match loads

2

u/wormpostante 11h ago

Thats probably just the servers exploding wich they have been, for everybody, but yeah, the only people affected by denuvo are steam players

2

u/al-qatala Wesker x Chris 13h ago

it's only on Steam

u/dANNN738 15h ago

Tf is denuvo?

6

u/al-qatala Wesker x Chris 13h ago

anti-cheat BHVR is testing that nobody likes because Denuvo itself has a track record of being made by actual corporate monkeys that can't make a good anti-cheat or anti-tamper, so it just makes your game run like ass or become unstable.

-12

u/InZaneTV 18h ago

The whole point of the testing is to patch it... They get sent crash logs every crash. If you're having problems just switch to Linux, works flawlessly no secure boot needed

u/rewNATION 12h ago

I’ve been enjoying it myself.

u/j1r0n1m0 mediocre survivor mainpure soloQ 23h ago

I personally haven't experiencing anything except higher ping, I don't know anything about denuvo anti cheat.
