After only 5 days the Denuvo DRM in RiME has been cracked. The studio has announced that a new Denuvo free build of the game will be replacing the current one. Rime lead producer Cody Bradley also stated the presence of Denuvo was responsible for a "small performance hit" in Rime, and that they were "monitoring the situation"
We have brought you several stories of the famed Denuvo being defeated, the latest being Prey after only 10 days. The interesting part to me is what "Baldman," who claimed credit for the crack, said: "Protection now calls about 10-30 triggers every second during actual gameplay, slowing [the] game down," He added. "In previous games like Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, Nier, [and] Prey there were only about 1-2 'triggers' called every several minutes during gameplay. While this is unverified, I look forward to seeing before/after performance testing of RiME.
After confirming that Rime has indeed been cracked, publisher Grey Box said that it will follow through on its pledge to replace the current build of the game with one that does not include Denuvo. It's also working on the first "traditional" update, which it expects will be ready to go next week.
