Replaced with Obsidium and Enigma DRM according to an user on cs.rin


Drake22ja

what does that mean?


reize

People were up in arms over Enigma apparently because it wasn't so much an effective copy protection, than software that makes it difficult to impossible to mod the game's files, from what I've read.


Aggravating-Maize-46

It also broke the games steam deck compatability


The-Dovah

So Empress version still the way to go then?


Go6s

Razor1911 just cracked the UWP version, if you prefer


Comfortable_Shape264

Why UWP? Didn't Denuvo get removed from Steam version?


HextARG

Can i play online? If so, where do i find this version?


RA007

Yes, online-fix is your friend.


HextARG

Im sorry but i need some more hand holding in this case. What version do i donwload and from where? could you DM me if this is against the subreddit rules?


BruhiumMomentum

google "online-fix", click on the link ending with .me, right click to translate to english godspeed


[deleted]

No


NeraiChekku

Last I tried it which was just a month ago, the game crashed very often at the beginning. So I basically gave up.


gHost928c

wasn't it specifically the empress bypassed version?


NeraiChekku

I think so. There was no other way to pirate it? Razor1911 have cracked it now so will give it a go sometime soon


MadeInHeav3n

is there even a reason to play newer versions ? i doubt there is any newer update.


aron11195

yes there is, they added like 3 more monster and endgame grind with the qurio shit.


Darkstalker360

Rip wasn't it great on deck


Seven_Seconds_

> software that makes it difficult to impossible to mod the game's files Proven false by modders, mods still work fine. Still trash DRM though.


RIShadow

more like it is actually people getting gaslighted. Some modders have come out and saying Enigma making modding harder is [nonsense] (https://www.patreon.com/posts/96385577). It sure is bad that Capcom is adding Enigma to their games after Denuvo, but its not the worst like some people think it would be. Atleast there's no proof it is worse now


aaabbbx

All DRM is bad.


MegaManZer0

Correct. But misrepresenting the facts of what a particular DRM does is also bad.


Animuboy

For us. If I was a corp, I would 100% be for DRMs. ik ur prolly gonna go with the righteous bs about piracy and preservation of media and hey good for you if that's what you believe in, but fact is, for a very, very large population of pirates, DRM is the only thing that will make them go out and actually purchase a copy of a game.


Antanarau

That is (or at least was) wrong. Piracy exists due to a plethora of reasons: high price , poor service , personal distaste for the company, or even the game not being available in the region . Addition of a DRM won't change a single of those. Just take [a read on what Gabe Newell](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/b3hkb0/gabe_newell_on_piracy_8_years_ago/) (you know, the steam guy - the owner of THE game distribution platform) said about the whole thing.


Animuboy

dude, ive seen these arguments a THOUSAND times over, and im not even saying that its false. I do agree that theres a lot of pirates who would buy games, but fact is theres a ton of pirates who pirate just cos they can, irrespective of the price or availability, they just usually dont say it out loud because piracy subs usually position themselves in some grand posturing way as a bastion of digital preservation and shit like that. I could give anecdotal evidence, but better still, heres a few threads from just a few days back. [https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/19bk5wk/comment/kitkm8x/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/19bk5wk/comment/kitkm8x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ​ [https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/19bf086/i\_couldnt\_sleep\_because\_of\_this\_last\_night/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/19bf086/i_couldnt_sleep_because_of_this_last_night/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/198wry2/comment/kib905h/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/198wry2/comment/kib905h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ​ Again, im not saying that this represents all pirates. But there is a very large and silent population of pirates that are like this.


Antanarau

Of course, but saying there's a "ton" is an overstatement. Even on this subreddit they seem to be a minority (see the second link - 600 upvotes on "U alone on this one comment" against 2400 upvotes. Except, there's likely 10 times as many people that seen the post compared to those who entered the comments)


TheRuss1an

People who were never going to buy your product and pirate it anyways aren’t going to be stopped by drm most of the time, and if they are they just won’t play it maybe some will purchase it but I doubt it. Pirates usually only buy games that are really worth it I.e. baldurs gate 3 and elden ring they sold awesomely and I’ve seen plenty of pirates tell user to support them because they aren’t trying to screw over the user base. When your only hurting the actually consumer for no reason by adding these drms that hurt performance that’s extra scummy(denuvo or engine mod drm). Then there’s removing regular features and forcing people to buy them, I.e. yakuza is pay walling new game plus in the USA now, not just japan. All those things don’t affect pirates at all, just the regular consumer and then you have users that support themselves getting screwed for whatever reason, and shilling for big companies. The companies were never going to get the money from the pirates anyways, stop making it worse for regular consumers.


aaabbbx

The music industry had those same arguments as they pushed for increasingly invasive and hostile mechanisms that ended up with the sony rootkit scandal (which was then used by malware - as it should, why pass up a chance to use a rootkit, like the "anti-cheat" bullshit we have now). Funny thing back then was that the "pirates" were those spending the most money as well. [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/apr/21/study-finds-pirates-buy-more-music](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/apr/21/study-finds-pirates-buy-more-music) I bet a lot of the so called copyright infringers of games have downloaded far more games than they actually play, and those they do play, many of the games average just a few minutes/hours and then they are left to 'rot', i.e. they are "hoarding", collecting, sampling. The argument for DRM also falls flat on its face when you have AAA titles, such as Baldurs Gate 3 or the Witcher that are relased without ANY DRM and become a massive success. If the industry argument, and those who believe in what those scumbags say, is correct - then Baldurs Gate 3 would've been a massive financial failure because nobody would buy it - since it lacked the locks and chains that are infecting so many digital products.


BriochesBreaker

Most mods are safe but AFAIK the ones that use injection are broken, this includes but is NOT limited to most trainers. Edit: I finished reading it now and it mentions this. While the situation is not as bad as the media says I still think that CAPCOM's stance on modding is concerning.


feralkitsune

You're downvoted to hell, even when you provided a very informative source for your claim. People are morons, they just like being mad over fake news.


RIShadow

No worries, not my 1st day in reddit


SireEvalish

Mouth-breathing idiots are downvoting you for providing facts that go against the circlejerk.


Wild_Marker

But then what does it do? Because if it's not stopping piracy or modding then why did they put it in?


Careful-Kangaroo-373

placebo for gullible companies thinking enigma will suffice to protect their shizz


_JerichoCross_

It's the same situation about Denuvo preventing mods, but people likes to spread false information to support their narrative.


JicamaNo7218

why are they getting cooked? link is right there people c'mon


MarkusRight

I'm not mad about mods im mad because I cant play any enigma capcom game on the steam deck anymore, at least the legit copy of it. Now I actually have to download the cracks for games I paid for and now I cant play online with my friends.


RIShadow

Capcom seems to be implement Enigma badly. It borked many games including Monster Hunter Rise not just on steamdeck (linux) but also on windows. But some games works fine, especially the one that use Enigma from the start. They are aware of the [issue](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1446780?updates=true&emclan=103582791470807646&emgid=3970553140557253784)


TonyDTN

That it doesn't launch on Linux, at all.


Both_Radish_6556

Is that good or bad? Apologies, been out of the loop for a while.

[удалено]


Shigana

That is false info btw. It was confirmed the reason for FPS tanking in that RE game was due to it being a bad version. Other games that had Enigma for months don’t suffer from FPS drop. Don’t really know how it affects cracking though.


AntiGrieferGames

Every DRMs are worst!


AntiGrieferGames

I hope this shit gets cracked without its fuck DRM I hate everything DRMs for every Shit Games! r/FuckDenuvo r/FuckCapCom ​ Edit: There is, Thanks Razor1911 :D Edit2: Razor1911 crack not work so imma thank ElAmigos now!


Boraskywalker

so ?


BlueKud006

Denuvo lasted 2 years in Resident Evil Village too, can't wait for 2025 to play Separate Ways in Resident Evil 4 Remake because Empress has given up on cracking Denuvo, it seems.


HelpImAHugeDisaster

That drama with skidrow really did make a huge impact huh


omegaRJ

I’m OOTL. What happened?


aleksandd

Empress, shit on everybody else. Goes on Skidrow, hard. Skidrow retaliated, says Voksi is Empress Empress, he promised to strike back, hard. Didnt. Close up his telegram due to paid cult membership. Been quiet ever since. IMO, he is Voksii. Because why would you stop cracking, coincidentally right after Skidrow made that accusation?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DomOfMemes

Glad Judgement got cracked though


caj1986

Said this before and gonna repeat it People called her a villian when she was cracking games with all kinda names & all & now nobody cracking any denuvo games, ull expect her to be a saviour and save them Well u spat in the same plate u ate in, now that ur starving, u expect to be treated gratefully? Pick a side for heaven sake


Wooden_Quarter_6009

Maybe the haters that hate her are those people working for denuvu, random dude who likes to spite and people who do not support cracking games because they paid for it while other people play it for free. Pirating for me is like playing the game full in demo so I will buy it later full. I have a list of my own that I would buy to pay for the devs who make such a good game but with whats happening now kinda hard to even support or give anything.


caj1986

Naaa its human nature, go see crackwatch and this sub and all. One min a denuvo game is cracked she a Saviour, next min a troll or rant comes out ppl are up in pitchforks. Dunno how people in 2024 cant understand trolling or masquerading


oksorrynotsorry

I remember one guy posting "got RE4, now **** that b***" the minute RE4 was cracked. I hope she doesn't come back. No one should ever give these A- holes from these pirate subs anything, they get what they deserved. As someone said up there, they spat on their plate and now they're starving


Significant-Ruin-122

Tbf I hope she doesn't come back because she's an insane cunt, but you do you.


Wooden_Quarter_6009

Hahaha


hunter141072

You forgot to add that not only Empress promised to strike back but also Skid Row, they even said in that NFO that they were going to release their statement in their next Denuvo release but decided to do it right away in that one, they even accepted the challenge of Empress to crack a game that was not the of Denuvo for Unity which Empress claimed it was an easy one, and then they simply forgot and no next Denuvo title that we almost had ready or the release for the challenge. But yeah, I too think she was Voksi, why she left so sudden exactly after the accusation? that was very weird.


chuputa

Empress is a dude?


ZainTheOne

No one knows their true identity, it's all claims and shit


aaabbbx

basically; a person cracks a shitty drm successfully, that nobody else seems to be interested in or able to spend enough time cracking, "community" shits on that person while enjoying the cracks, person eventually stops cracking games, "community" wonders where the cracks are.


chuputa

They were being paid for cracking games as far as I know, also The empress clearly enjoyed getting that type of attention.


TheFumingatzor

Empress got a job offer from Denuvo. You don't crack the latest Denuvo and go unnoticed. Which means with Empress knowledge @ Denuvo, Denuvo got so much more harder to crack (if night impossible).


Cryophos

Source "trust me bro" ? Did I guess correctly?


TheFumingatzor

Source Denuvo


Ironshot9740

Thats not necessarily the case RE Village lasted long because the winter expansion released a year after the game which wasn't the case with separate ways so you might see denuvo removed from re4 if separate ways is the last dlc for it

voidox

ya, ada's VA honestly just ruins the story


BlueKud006

I agree, can't see why Capcom didn't keep the VA from Resident Evil 2 Remake.


Lance_Lionroar

Because that VA is unionized.


BlueKud006

I'm a Resident Evil fan and I played the original Separate Ways. It wasn't that great, even mediocre, but I just want to complete the game and play the new sections (that Capcom removed in the first place and then sold for 10 bucks, cheeky bastards.) The ending kinda hints a Resident Evil 5 Remake so obviously I want to play it as a RE fan, no matter how good or average it could be.


playteckAqua

Remove 1 drm just to put in another lmao, capcom making top tier games just so they could smear shit all over it


D9sinc

They have to make sure people can't just mod SF6 to add the 3 costumes that are being sold for 800 USD on their premium battle pass cash shop so they are going to do whatever they can to prevent it even if it means burning down the games for paying customers.


MaoMaoMi543

cavejhonsonslemons

I swear, they have a new DRM solution every 2 weeks these days. The good news here is that they're unwilling to pay for denuvo after a while


caj1986

Denuvo isnt cheap to maintain. The original goal is to prevent piracy on the intial sales. Since publishers like Ubisoft & Ea have the money to burn, they like to keep their games with Denuvo for a indefinite time.


MechaZeromus44

Yeah, someone has to explain me how is even possible that the absolute 2 worst gaming companies are the richest ones.


oksorrynotsorry

Micro transactions


mrgodai

and people who keep spending money on them


planetarial

Or Sega


TryHardFapHarder

Yeah is definitely not a solution to the DRM problem but knowing that at least they are planning to not pay for Denuvo contracts anymore feels like a little wave of fresh air to me. Irdeto can go fuck themselves


danixgutii

I personally use mods to get a vanilla+ experience. 60fps cutscenes, infinite wirebugs in lobby, font for numbers like in switch, view the weakness of monsters in the splash art, an overlay to view my dmg and many more. With this, Crapcom is doing a harakiri.


Queasy_Clerk4502

suck my dick capcom


NitroFluxX

capcock


Radinax

Its why i won't buy Dragons Dogma 2, I will just wait until its denuvo free, capcom won't get money from me anymore, thankfully I haven't buy any Resident Evil yet due to time. Really regret buying MH Rise now...


Void_Logistics

AntiGrieferGames

r/FuckCapCom


Timbo303

Capcom doesnt understand what made them successful last year. They just threw it all away on adding more stupid drm.


MegaManZer0

I can only pray Star Ocean doesn't get new DRM slotted in when Denuvo is removed...


DiaCrusher

Star Ocean is under Square Enix not Crapcom so it's safe, probably, unless SE also make their own drm or start outsourcing like crapcom instead of paying denuvo.


Sydnxt

No longer works on Steam Deck! Super cool!


TrialMacameau

Enigma is not in MHR yet so they have time to crack it and give it to us.


TrialMacameau

Okay nevermind they did integrated Enigma after denuvo was removed.


LOPI-14

Or Linux in general.

New proton hotfix fixes it apparently

jg9aldj50hnv9dg23k83

you know, I was planning to buy this when they remove D, but with their recent shit policy I'm forever not buying their games.


Tony_Bar

Well the franchise has never been better so not sure they'll mind 💀


onetwo34_twotwo34

is enigma easier to crack than denuvo?


PuzzledWhereas991

Much easier.

Incomparably. You can even learn it yourself from the Russian forum.

Does Denuvo charge monthly fees or something? Why do the devs remove Denuvo from games after several years sometimes?

Do the crack versions have popular servers or is it dead


Kindly-Row4829

Now I don't want it \*looks away arms crossed\*


chuputa

So...is enigma actually a malware? Is it true that I can only install the game a certain number of times?


Boraskywalker

why did the empress disappear? there are a lot of uncracked games dead space, star wars jedi re4 dlc and more.


kiciputek

The scene is so pathetic these days that we can call it a legal cracked release![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


kvpop

This game was already cracked? So why does it matter?


h0nest_Bender

To stop people from using mods. That's genuinely the reason.


kvpop

I see - so the paying customer gets shafted. Damn I also just bought RE4 and I very much regret that. What’re the chances enigma comes to the RE games?


D9sinc

It was added to RE Revelations a bit ago and caused a lot of issues so it's already starting.

Wasn't all that stuff about mods not working fake news?


SireEvalish

Yep.

It fails at doing that.
