The war on videogame piracy may, for now, be a losing one, especially for Denuvo DRM maker Irdeto. According to a popular cracking forum, every non-VR game using what has become the industry’s go-to anti-tamper software has successfully had its protective layer circumvented. Sensing the danger posed by the recently-developed Hypervisor bypass, which is chiefly responsible for the current state of affairs, Denuvo last month announced that it was working on countermeasures. Until they materialize, the denizens of the high seas are on top. With the advent of the Hypervisor bypass at the end of last year, it felt like…

Extraction shooter Arc Raiders is officially an acceptable substitute for summer holidays thanks to the new Riven Tides update, out today, which adds a new coastal area with a collapsing hotel, some luxurious tennis courts and an actual slide for you to slide on. As ever, the price you will pay for accessing all of these things is getting murdered by robots – or humans who want your Assorted Seeds.
It’s imperative to mod Total War Warhammer 3 for the best experience. The strategy game is an impressive beast even if you just play vanilla, but a handful of crucial mods make things feel a lot smoother. The only problem is, installing and managing these mods is a bit of a faff, especially when you get carried away and start modding your Skaven to have lore-accurate eyes and to give the Empire access to Grand Cathay’s caravans because it feels fair. Thankfully, developer Creative Assembly has tackled this problem head-on, making big changes to the game’s mod manager. The update…
2K and DRM company Denuvo have reportedly added new 14-day checks to certain games, as hackers claim Denuvo’s single-player protection has been fully cracked.Denuvo’s anti-tamper software has been the source of controversy for some time now, as some players believe it can have an adverse effect on PC game performance.At the end of last year, the game pirating community created a bypass which installs a driver at a PC’s kernel level, and can intercept and respond to Denuvo security checks.As a result, Tom’s Hardware reported earlier this month that Denuvo has essentially been blown open as a result of this,…

Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong are, categorically, Resident Evil’s most iconic pairing. While Resident Evil Requiem breathed fresh life into the hit horror game series with new addition Grace, who is excellent in her own right, the question remains: where is Ada? RE9 is as much a homage to the series’ past as it is a modern Resi experience, with plenty of nods littered throughout. Yet, by the time the credits rolled there was still no sign of RE2’s leading lady. Well, in a new interview with Japanese outlet denfaminicogamer, Game Director Koshi Nakanish and Producer Masato Kumazawa explain why…

Diablo 4’s new Lord of Hatred DLC is here, but – perhaps to the surprise of no one – its initial launch hasn’t exactly been the smoothest.It didn’t take long after the DLC’s release for a telling statement to come from Blizzard on the official Diablo Twitter account. “We’re aware that some players are currently experiencing issues accessing Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred,” it said. “The team is actively investigating and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
