- Pearl Abyss has added Denuvo to Crimson Desert just a week before its launch.
- The anti-tempering tech is notorious for bad performance and optimization issues.
- Players are infuriated and feel as if they’ve been fooled, as it added Denuvo this late.
Crimson Desert is just around the corner, and it won’t be wrong to say it is the most anticipated game of the year after GTA 6. However, Pearl Abyss has just done something that players aren’t really happy about.
Just a week ahead of the launch, Crimson Desert has added Denuvo protection, which is notorious for causing performance and optimization issues. This is a rather controversial move, especially with how close the launch is.
Why it matters: Early previews and performance analysis promised great optimization across the board, but now that Denuvo has been added, it could, in theory, affect the performance quite a bit.
A recent update on the official Steam page reveals the addition of Denuvo in Crimson Desert. The anti-tempering tech can cause huge performance issues, especially with lower to mid-range hardware.
Now, it is possible that Pearl Abyss has implemented Denuvo well and that it doesn’t cause many performance issues, but in most cases, the issues persist. They’ve also added it a week before launch, which has infuriated the fans.
Understandably, companies implement Deunvo to avoid games getting cracked. However, the performance issues it causes aren’t worth the sacrifice. We’ve had multiple examples of games getting ruined by Denuvo.
Anyhow, Crimson Desert reviews are expected in a couple of days. The addition of anti-tempering changes things for a lot of people. Now, we’ll have to experience it firsthand to see how the game performs.
