Denuvo removed again, this time it’s Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

Denuvo DRM

Funcom and The Bearded Ladies have decided to remove Denuvo DRM from their latest game. According to CrackWatch, since the game was released in December 2018, it took about six weeks to crack. The game used a now outdated version of the DRM tech, Denuvo 5.3 specifically. So it does kind of make sense that Denuvo is now being removed as it has served it’s purpose.

Denuvo has been getting hammered by pirates over the last few years, simply put, it’s fallen far from the initial fame of being billed as the end of piracy. Now, it takes a few days or weeks for more popular games to get pirated when using this DRM solution. The most recent version, 5.6, was cracked in less than a week when included in Metro Exodus.

Alongside this removal of the DRM, Funcom and The Bearded Ladies also released a minor patch to game, primarily aimed at fixing a variety of bugs. There’s some balance changes in there too, dig through the patch notes below to find those. A few UI options are also now able to be adjusted, like sensitivity and motion blur. The patch also handles a few crash bugs relating to inventory management, and also fixes some pathfinding issues that caused units to get stuck in a level.
