Ye fuck your legitimate customers even more why don’t you
to be fair if you’re a legit customer of 2K in the year of our lord 2026 you kinda deserve everything coming your way
So, punish paying customers because your DRM got broken? Got it!
They deserve to be punished for wasting money on things they could be getting for free.
Their stupidity funds companies like denuvo.
Bold of you to assume anyone would update to those versions
It has in fact not been cracked in all single player games it previously protected. The hypervisor bypass method is, crucially, not a crack.
It also requires me to do things to my system that I’m not comfortable doing, so it’s not an option for me.
Can you explain this to me like I’m 12? Asking for a 12-yo friend.
The hypervisor bypass requires you to give a third-party program the highest level of security access your operating system has. The kind of access you have to reboot your system to grant because it can’t be done while the OS’s security system is currently running. It is extremely inadvisable to do this ever, for any reason, unless you are an educated expert or the system is disposable.
You should read the article.
Version 3 of the bypass only requires you disable core isolation.
Still increasing your attack surface, but dramatically less than the earlier method that you’re referencing.
Anything that involves monkeying with HVCI is above my paygrade. I can’t afford to repair or replace anything right now.
Not just Core Isolation (aka Memory Protection), Driver Signature Enforcement as well.
Remember how gamers just DO this for Vanguard
I used to roll my eyes at the classic parental “if your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too?” and how obviously stupid the idea was.
Used to.
The team that has been doing these Hypervisor cracks allegedly already said they have a solution for this.
Not cracked, bypassed . That’s an important distinction.
The hypervisor bypass only works if you’re on Windows, and it opens up a huge security hole when you use it.
Locks deny* the honest.
Until the locks aren’t provided by the honest.
