Love to see it, but the continued reliance on Windows for gaming is the bigger problem.

Unfortunately, so far it seems this hypervisor bypass thing is windows-only.

i think denuvo only works on windows anyways, right? theres no denuvo linux version

Denuvo itself doesn't cause problems with Proton.

The security issues listed seem like a really really big problem. It's a step forward in the sense of being a new tool to fuck DRM, but very crude right now. Still, I'm curious as to what the fuck necessitates running a hypervisor with priviliges even greater than the OS.

You know ... I realise how little I know about this cracking scene when I can't even figure out why DRM makes calls to the kernel level that need to be faked.

I feel like the hypervisor thing might be enough to keep denuvo in business.
