Is Denuvo's Dominance Finally Beginning to Crack? A New Linux-Based Breakthrough Suggests It Might Be

Death to Denuvo

The article is very light on any technical details, so it's hard to tell if this is a big deal, someone misunderstanding the hypervisor method that's exploded this year, or just click bait. I'm going to assume click bait.

Edit: the Lemmy.world post had a comment that explains this better than the article:

... An important point though: hypervisor cracks were available exclusively for Windows.

Or at least that was the case until the “Linux breakthrough” was revealed yesterday, which gives Linux the ability to run Hypervisor cracks, and with modern CPUs, you can run the hypervisor cracks without even using a hypervisor.

Support for Linux has to be implemented in the cracks themselves too, though I did read that DenuvOwO (de facto THE hypervisor cracking team) is backporting support to all previous releases :D.

Of course nothing beats actual cracks but then again hypervisor cracks weren’t support to replace them, they’re supposed to ruin denuvo’s reputation by making games pirateable on day 1 of releasing. This will have a bigger effect now that the cracks are with tinkerers (Linux users) who wouldn’t mind a little setting-up to play their games.
