Wine-Staging 5.9 Picks Up A Patch In The Effort To Deal With Denuvo Anti-Cheat

[Xaero_Vincent]

At least Doom Eternal will be removing the Denuvo anti-cheat due to public outcry.

Furthermore, Denuvo devs have expressed interest in making their software Wine / Proton compatible.

why is denuvo called anti-cheat nowadays? i thought it was a copy protection?

i mean, sure it may help against code tampering, but can it prevent memory modification at runtime?

Denuvo Anti-cheat and Denuvo Anti-Tamper are by marketing documentation meant to be 2 different products by the way. The copy protection stuff historically has been Denuvo Anti-Tamper.

The track record of products containing Denuvo Anti-Tamper being cracked very quickly is insane at best you get 3 months. With the documented track record of product failures and end user complaints caused by Denuvol why are companies still buying any Denuvo products?
