An apples to apples comparison would be SM with vs. I appreciate the spirit of your comparison there, however that's an apples to oranges comparison. The performance hit can be minimized however this reduces the effectiveness of the DRM software.Īs for your screenshots. Using Virtualization comes with an inherent performance hit that is inescapable. Assasin's Creed Origin's is testament to the fact that Denuvo comes first, performance last. However I disagree with the claim that the whole point of Denuvo is not to impact performance. Shouldn't you complain on the Denuvo-free Sonic CD boards then? Interesting info there. Shouldn't you complain on the Denuvo-free Sonic CD boards then? Same Engine, same humans behind the developing.ĭenuvo Mania even used 1% LESS GPU capacity than Sonic CD Remastered. Similarly, the way some games spin the Steam API callback thread (as FFXV did, which caused frame render time spikes for quite a few players) doesn't get criticized either. Nobody is batting an eye about that just because it isn't called "Denuvo". For example, Far Cry 5 have an analytics/diagnostics thread taking up >as much CPU time as possible< all the time. This isn't really only true for Denuvo, but for all middleware or functions used in games. It also bares to mention that as long as Denuvo is run by non-critical functions (as it should be) called by low-prioritized threads (as those functions should be), then every other thread and workload (aka more critical) will cut in front of Denuvo in the queue to the CPU. A maxed out CPU, however, is almost never seen in video games except for a few simulator-heavy games. Originally posted by Werehogfury: It'll MOST LIKELY come to Steam as DLC. Only time Denuvo would cause a lag spike is if the game already saw full CPU utilization and Denuvo were added into the mix and caused a slowdown in processing caused by the fact that the CPU were already maxed out. Your logic here is flawed, protecting property is one thing, but protecting property while harming customers is another. You know, like every other optimization tweak in the history of video games?ĭenuvo does not use the GPU at all, which you should be well aware of is the primary factor causing frame render spikes, ergo lag, in video games. If it does then it is implemented wrong and needs to be fixed. The whole point of Denuvo is to not have an impact on the gameplay as an anti-tamper solution, regardless of stuff on-screen. I promise you the PS4 and Switch versions don't have this issue. That's why people hate Denuvo so much, and the more intense the security features are implemented, the greater the reduction in performance. Because it uses virtualization, it's essentially running Sonic Mania inside a virtual machine. I would point the finger squarely Denuvo. I also finnished Sonic Mania a couple of times before the DLC and had no problem whatsoever. It would always run smooth before, but now it just takes 14 seconds in real life for 10 secons in the game. And it looks like only the consoles will get the physical release, but all digital versions will get the (paid) upgrade.Originally posted by Thyago Laguna:Ever since I installed the DLC the game has been running slow. And I know you own the PC version, you have the mouse icon next to your name. I invite you to look at my profile so you can see that I do not lie to you, I enjoy sonic mania a lot and I decided to buy it because I remembered my childhood, but Sega just kicked me and many other players. I bought the sonic mania collector edition of the steam version, and now I discover that they have extra content for consoles and PC users do not receive news about it. This comment is out of context, in my case I complain by sega. Tikal isn't a playable character? Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle suck. No reason given whatsoever? Sonic Adventure sucks. SEGA doesn't want people stealing their game? Sonic Mania sucks. Classic Sonic has terrible level design in Forces? Sonic Forces sucks.
