Denuvo may be out of options after every protected game was reportedly bypassed
The Hypervisor bypass that hit non-VR titles is now said to cover the remaining VR games too, while Irdeto said in March it was working on countermeasures.
Denuvo may be out of options after every protected game was reportedly bypassed. The latest Hypervisor method, which first moved through non-VR releases, is now said to have reached the remaining VR titles as well.
The Hypervisor approach is not a standard crack. It works below the kernel and feeds false information to the anti-tamper check when Denuvo calls in, which is why it has moved through protected games so quickly. Once the non-VR catalog was hit, the VR side became the last holdout.
Irdeto said in March that it was working on countermeasures, and this latest turn puts that response under even more pressure. Publishers that rely on Denuvo will now be watching closely to see how long the current method holds, and what the next move looks like.
