Does someone knows how it will work?

It already works through heroic. I was able to get the cracked resident evil working the day after release.

The RE crack is not a HV Denuvo bypass, but a full-on Denuvo removal. That's why it works via Proton

The only way to fly. And why pirating games is a better experience than actually paying for them.

Neat, I didn't know that.

Isn't the last game to get Denuvo completely removed by a cracker Assassin's Creed Origins?

This voices38 guy has done an amazing work at removing denuvo these past few months. Hell they even cracked the Lego Batman game on day one, no hipervisor needed!

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did he actually remove all traces of Denuvo from the executable, like it was done for Fe back in 2023 by Skidrow, or is it just a bypass crack?

[–] tomatoely@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From what I've seen on the cs rin ru forum threads, the crack overwrites the game executable and uses a custom dll. So presumably it does remove all significant Denuvo parts (enough for it to be played on linux) but I'm not knowledgable enough to know to which extent

[–] Mttw_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

nope it doesnt, voices cracks use a similar method to old cpy cracks: they reverse engeneered denuvo hardware fingerprint generation, so the crack can generate a working fingerprint of any pc, skipping the "steam ownership" check. Denuvo checks still run, but it sees a "good" fingerprint so it doesnt crash the game.

Still it's not an easy task, denuvo is obfuscated like hell and requires a lot of knowledge and time to catch all the quirks.

Install using heroic, switch Proton versions until it works.

[–] mecen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Then you are using normal crack not hypervisor bypass
