Gee, I wonder what it could be.

The PC release of Deathloop has a lot going for it, but uh, it seems like it also has some glaring issues that need to be addressed. Right now, the game is getting slammed in user reviews because of a very obvious "stutter" that shows up quite frequently.

This stutter, judder, frame pacing issue, or whatever it is exactly is manifesting itself across most every hardware configuration. It seems to be most prominent when using a...

And all it took was the game getting cracked.

An update for Resident Evil Village came out yesterday for the PC version of the game. The patch includes just two items listed in the changelog, but these two items offer big improvements for most everybody.

First up, Capcom has added in AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). This tech will allow you to push out some more performance from your aging hardware with a little hit to the image quality. We talked a lot about this...

It's about three years late, but it's better than never.

Three years after the release of Prey, the 2017 game not the 2006 one, the team at Arkane has finally done what fans have wanted for a while: They have removed the Denuvo anti-tamper and anti-piracy technology that everyone loves to hate.

This brief bit of good news comes to you courtesy of "slenderf0x" on Reddit, the Prey community manager. Here is what they had to say about the update that just rolled...

You can now purchase without worry.

Those who are very strictly anti-Denuvo in any and all forms may be happy to hear that Metro Exodus is now Denuvo free. The latest update for the game, released May 27, removes the anti-piracy DRM from Metro for all users. This includes the Steam release, Epic Games Store release (affiliate link), and the PC Game Pass versions.

For many, it's long believed that Denuvo can negatively impact game performance. Some users also say that Denuvo...

Consider this a horribly failed experiment.

id Software executive producer Marty Stratton took to Reddit to announce that the much detested Denuvo Anti-Cheat will be removed in the next update for DOOM Eternal. For those who are not aware, the previous update for DOOM Eternal added in the third-party anti-cheat to the game.

Much like the anti-cheat used in Valorant, the Denuvo Anti-Cheat operates with elevated permissions at ring 0, or at the kernel level of a system....

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Bethesda announced that a new update was released today for the Steam version of Rage 2. This update, among other things, removes the always dreaded Denuvo DRM.

Denuvo was included at the launch of the game on Steam, but was curiously missing from the Bethesda.net Launcher version that came out at the same time. Fans were a bit curious (and upset) over this. The ongoing theory is that Denuvo was utilized on Steam to prevent Rage 2 from getting...

If you have played Assassin's Creed Origins for the PC, chances are pretty high you're seeing some extremely high CPU usage. Many of the people complaining, myself included, have high-end CPUs that are at, or very near, to 100% CPU usage on every core. I have seen people reporting max CPU usage that have overclocked 7700K (and better) CPUs. My 6700K at 4.5GHz also sits near completely maxed out, making the additional toll of trying to stream with OBS almost impossible at framerates sitting at ...

Earlier today it was reported that the DRM used for RiME was cracked. That DRM is, of course, Denuvo. Given that the game just came out on the 26th, this might be a new record for how quickly a Denuvo game was cracked.

RiME's developer, Grey Box, had promised that if the DRM was cracked that they would remove it for everyone.

True to their word, they are moving forward with doing precisely that.
