well this is great,

PC version is using Denuvo DRM protection (From the great people that brought Securom, the most annoying shitty DRM that affected legit customers way more then anyone).
The most recent game that used it on pc was Lords of the Fallen.
I HATE these kinds of DRM, especially since Securom gave me sooooo many problems back int he day with games that had it, not to mentio the performance issues it would cause.
I do not know how this stacks up vs that but since it's fromt he sma epeople I have 0 trust in it.
Why can't more publishers be like Cd Projekt? HAve they not leanred anything? DRm doesn't stop a game from being cracked, eventually it'll happen and the only people it will hurt are the legit paying customers who have hoops to jump through and performance issues.
From what I read this DRM is on the exe and it works on encrypting data to stop reverse engineering, now you know that will absolutely HAVE to eat some CPU cycles, there is just no way it won't. That's performance that will be lost because of this crap.
It's really hard to judge this DRM since only two games have used it and they're both completely different experiences. FIFA players don't seem to have issues while Lords of the Fallen has performance issues that may be due to the DRM or may be the fault of bad coding. It would be interesting to find out if the DRM is in the review copies EA has been handing out since if it is we could use those impressions to get a feel for what if any effect Denuvo has. Can't really blame EA for using Denuvo again though since FIFA and LoF still haven't been fully cracked (at least last I heard).
