Denuvo server issues prevented players from playing Batman: Arkham Knight, Mad Max & Shadow of War
Due to some Denuvo server issues, PC gamers were receiving an error message while attempting to launch Batman: Arkham Knight and Mad Max. As such, gamers had to click on a Retry button multiple times in order to make both of them work. According to reports, the Denuvo authentication servers were down for almost all Warner Bros’ games and PC gamers were forced to somehow bypass these issues. This also affected Middle-earth: Shadow of War as players were unable to download its latest patch or play the game itself.
Now, this is one of the main reasons PC gamers are against the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Since a respectable number of games are using it, we don’t know what will happen when the Denuvo servers go down. Or I guess we now have a clue; players will be unable to play their legitimately purchased games.
What publishers and developers can do, in order to bypass such a thing, is remove the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from their games (once these games have been cracked). However, we’ve seen numerous publishers refusing to remove Denuvo. As such, and if and when the Denuvo servers get shut down, PC gamers will have to rely on cracks in order to play the games they have purchased.
