Is it true that DA:I uses Denuvo DRM?

 

I just read this on reddit, wondering if it is true. I hope not!!

 

Lord of the Fallen had really bad performance and bugs due to this DRM. And this essentially means a big no to modding :(

 

Why do the customers always get the finger? The game is going to get cracked anyway, so why even bother with drm? It always impacts the customer only while crackers get the game anyway.. makes me contemplate canceling my preorder.

 

Any official word on this topic?

To be clear, Denuvo is not DRM in the sense the DRM stands for Digital Rights Management (or Dogs Reading Magazines, or whatever you prefer). There is nothing in the Denuvo stuff that has to do with accounts or release date checking, or ownership or anything like that. It is not SecuROM. It is not Steamworks. It is not Safedisc, or any of the other DRM solutions that have been in the past. Origin is the DRM for Dragon Age: Inquisition in the exact same manner and settings as it was in Mass Effect 3. Nothing has changed here.

 

Denuvo is anti-tamper on the executable. This has nothing to do with mods or attempts to change textures or anything like that. Trying to hack the executable to cheat in multiplayer? This is what we are talking about.

If someone's mod is going to be based on modifying the executable, then yeah, that won't work. If the mod is based on game data, then that has nothing to do with the anti-tamper system.

 

The mod challenge will be making data that works with the Frostbite engine for DAI.

Now that I think about it, I seem to remember reading a comment by a reviewer over at the Neogaf thread about the game being a bit CPU intensive. I'll see if I can find the comment, and in any case it could be due to just the game being cpu intensive and not the protection, but... there.

Yeah, the only way you could scientifically show that any CPU usage was due to anti-tamper would be to benchmark with and without. Just looking at a CPU graph, you can't just point and say "There! That wasn't supposed to be there!"

 

Most of us have been running the same executable as our customers for a while now.

My history has been the fewer layers of DRM the better. You may say it's just for the MP, but it's also another software component that can go awry for legitimate users. And let me guess, still a mandatory download?

Well, since it isn't DRM, there is just Origin, just like on Mass Effect 3. I didn't say it was specifically for MP, I just gave hacking the executable for MP as an example. Yes, our game executable is a mandatory download.
