Ubisoft has put out a day-1 patch for Murderer’s Creed: Mirage and eagle-eyed gamers have famous that it seems so as to add Denuvo to the sport, a controversial anti-cheat system that has lengthy been argued causes efficiency issues.
Timo Schmidt famous the point out of Denuvo within the patch notes and needed to comply with using Denuovo in up to date phrases and situations. On paper, Denuvo is meant to assist cease piracy by making it more durable for folks to crack the sport after which distribute it, although in actuality Denuvo solely tends to behave extra like a velocity bump. The larger concern is that for years there was fierce debate over whether or not Denuvo drastically impacts a recreation’s efficiency, particularly on lower-end {hardware}.
Honestly, it’s a debated subject for a purpose. Some checks appear to point that Denuvo barely impacts efficiency whereas others appear to indicate bigger points. Some customers are adamant that it negatively impacts their expertise, whereas others say they haven’t had an issue.
Maybe the perfect argument in opposition to Denuvo got here in 2021 when a ‘cracked’ model of Resident Evil Village turned obtainable. Richard Leadbetter of Digital Foundry examined the official launch with Denuvo and the pirated model and located that the cracked model ran much better.
It’s a little odd that Ubisoft opted so as to add Denuvo to Murderer’s Creed: Mirage in spite of everything the foremost retailers had already revealed their evaluations. In case you needed to be cynical you would definitely speculate that this was carried out so reviewers would get the easiest efficiency doable to assist hold the assessment scores as excessive as doable. AC: Mirage bought a reasonably good reception total.
What do you guys assume? Is it suspicious that Ubisoft withheld Denuvo till after the foremost evaluations went reside? And do you assume Denuvo truly has any important efficiency affect?
