Denuvo removed from HITMAN 2
- Thread starter BernardoOne
- Start date
And surprise surprise people are reporting better framerates on both Windows and Linux.
Denuvo is trash.

Good guys IOI, thanks for the reminder to buy this soon. Can it run decently with 8GB or should I upgrade to 16?
IO Interactive are great peoples. While I don't agree on using Denuvo, at the very least they got rid of it in a timely manner. Meanwhile other publishers/developers take more than a year to get it removed...if at all.
a lot of denuvo is being removed recently, I'm wondering if something changed with their terms of contract? something's up.
I'm not sure why they bothered putting denuvo on hitman to begin with, it's really an always online game. You can't do much offline at all and it's for good reason, the online elements are actually very meaningful depite it being a single player game. They could make online mandatory instead of denuvo and nobody would really care.

While I normally don't mind Denuvo as it always stays out of the way, it seems like it interferes with Valve's Linux support, so I'm all in for it getting removed.
The second it's cracked it should be removed, it wouldn't be such an annoyance if every dev thought the same.
They're trying to crack it as fast as possible anyway. That's why they crack games, to be the first to do it.
Capcom is awfully stingo with Denuvo. It's still in RE7 and Monster Hunter World, and in the latter case it compounds the fact it's already a pretty bad port. Mega Man 11 dropped Denuvo support after a while though, so they're probably keeping it on their "big" pillars.
Anything else changed in the patch that could affect framerates or only denuvo removal?
Thanks, although it actually runs slower on Windows in that second example. I dont see anything to back up the claim it performs better overall now.
the link admits it's hardly sufficient to claim Denuvo was the cause of the stuttering
Load times alone are way better than before. I was looking at 15-20 seconds to load into a map before, now it's roughly 4-5 seconds.
Capcom recently removed Denuvo off of Resident Evil 7. I'm glad they're doing it but I wish it was done in a timely manner.
EDIT: Of course ideally it's best not to have it at all.
Can't wait to see it axed from Monster Hunter soon, then. Apparently there's a lot they did oddly under the hood for the PC port, and it would be interesting to see if that's one of the few games that barely gets a performance boost with Denuvo gone.
Load times seem to be the one constant that improves with the removal of Denuvo. Pretty much every time.
What? 0-day cracks are a thing. Every scene group already tries to crack every game as soon as possible. Sometimes even before release.

While I can't really speak for any difference in raw performance, the loadings are now much faster. In addition to that, Ive had a consistent stutter issue in the first minute after loading a level for the first time which seems to now be fixed.
Lol that's the power of Linux if properly used.
Good on IOI. This is an okay way for me to use Denuvo. I would be more happier without Denuvo at all but at least in this instance I can understand that thay want to protect the early weeks after release.
Hence why I am worried about them removing it. Who knows what else they will break and end up taking many more months after to fix it again. It is unlikely they will though since the expansion still has no date on PC and they will want Denuvo to continue to do its thing in the mean time.
This is how it should be. Keep a DRM that fucks over pirates as long as possible, but then remove it down the line to make sure the game isn't lost in time.
Have any Japanese publisher removed Denuvo from their game?
Seems like it's mostly one and done for them.
It seems to be holding up for Resident Evil 2, it must lead to loads more sales with no crack being available in these initial first days. I can fully understand the use of it, logic business sense. Removal afterwards is a smart choice though.
Great news from when I get this for PC, I'll be honest I was super ignorant to the shit Denvo causes and the more I have looked into it the more I can see why it upsets people.
Sega has removed it from games like Yakuza 0 and I believe Yakuza Kiwami?
Hi there! I'm the person who made those benchmarks (boy howdy did verification for this site take ages), but i'm quite happy this got shared around as much as It did. I did release a video sequel running tests on Linux and Windows properly if anyone is interested.
