So will it be cracked in just one day? or worse within hours? Only time will tell but we all know the inevitable. While we don’t condone piracy on SEGA Nerds, it’s understandable why hackers made the effort to break through this DRM after some users reported performance problems with the game, due to Denuvo. But the software has a growing negative reputation after some of the bigger titles like Monster Hunter World are too under consideration since it will be using the same protection. But, according to DSOGaming, Sonic Mania‘s Denuvo has been hacked, just eight days after it launched on PC. This is not the first game to use this protection, there is a whole list of popular games. What this translates into is that Denuvo will be of no use as it does not protect from piracy in the first place. SEGA recently used Denuvo to utilize its features, however, there is a different side to this, or it seems like it.Īccording to Voksi, while cracking the Sonic Mania Plus, it came to his attention that the anti-piracy system was not deployed properly and that was one of the reasons he was able to crack it in just one day.
Apparently, he was able to crack the update in just one day.Īs you may very well know, Denuvo is an anti-tamper technology used by game development companies to control piracy. Voksi is a known cracker who is in his early twenties. Most of us are familiar with Denuvo but what happened after the Sonic Mania Plus update seems to result in a loss of fans for SEGA, or at least that seems to be the case.Īs soon as the update rolled out, it did not take much time to crack for “Voksi”, a Bulgarian hacker. In the recent Sonic Mania Plus update, there was something that came pretty much to everyone’s surprise, Denuvo protection.
