[QUOTE=Marbalo;52084258]When is this "uncrackable!!!" meme going to be put to rest already?[/QUOTE]
When will "everything being called a meme" meme be put to rest already ?
assumed that CPY, the current cracking group responsible for all the denuvo cracks, uses a server farm to break the denuvo encryption on a game-to-game basis, it's likely that all the devs have to do is re-fresh the encryption with the patch and it'd take just as much time to crack again, while the scene gets way more respect from cracking "new" titles than going back and cracking and old one again, so this is likely going to stay this way for quite some time now lol

Why do you think it is a brute force crack ? If it were, then all the games released months ago would be cracked by now, and not just a few.
Why hasn't anyone yet acknowledged that pirates were denied an eye patch?

They havent been brute forcing the encryption. They've been removing and bypassing denuvo itself.
This title should really be called "Bioware first to invent uncrackable patch that will simply never be cracked, certainly not by tomorrow at least"
Who are they trying to kid?
it's a brute force based on an algorithm apparently, it's the reason why only games using older versions of denuvo have been busted up - I'm only saying what I've read from rather reputable coverage on the issue

the encryption of denuvo is baked into the game files itself, which is why when Mad Max was cracked, Just Cause was also immediately cracked - as soon as they know what to look for, whatever that is within the game file architecture, it takes them a few days

Battlefield 1's singleplayer campaign to ME:A immediately as well

someone on this very forum who worked with denuvo integration, a german user iirc, mentioned that the problem is that Denuvo gives you the thing as-is and it's the equivalent of a copy-paste job into a game that's in gold status, with almost zero work from the programmer's side of things. it's a program that somehow encrypts the files itself, which is probably the cause of a myriad of other problems with these games with their known shippables and all
[editline]10th April 2017[/editline]
of course gaming journalism is not going to report on the fact that several Denuvo-protected games benchmark 5-10 fps better after their cracks, but it's something that definitely should be considered and there's more than anecdotal evidence of the fact
i'm not against copy protection but I am against shitty shady practices
Flaunting crack protection is just asking for it to be cracked quicker

Code obfuscation is fundamentally the opposite of performance, its no surprise there's a big performance hit when it seems to be some kind of bytecode VM decrypting things at runtime
