Thought we had a thread for this but I guess not
Anyone used any of the hypervisor bypasses being released?

No, I get my games from GazelleGames and since they don't upload them there I don't trust them
Oh but I am open to having my mind changed on the subject, I just haven't had the issue really come up yet for a game I both really want to play but really don't want to buy

I've also never really looked into them. Is everything getting Hypervisor cracked immediately or is it still slow going?
I should point out that while there's some undeniable risks to the method, I'm seeing a lot of funny fake "I installed HV and MY PC BLEW UP AND ALL MY ACCOUNTS GOT HACKED AND MY LIFE IS OVER but let me take my time to write out this out on this piracy forum and reddit." Always by old accounts with very few messages. (sleeper agents) See that 3 year badge? That just means the account is at least that old, but any account actually active for that long should likely have the minimum of a 100 comments badge as many others do. And these posts always have an unnaturally high amount of likes.

Very sus, feels like corpos running a smear campaign tbh

I'd probably just make a windows dualboot for playing some denuvo games I don't want to pay for

Read about it, has some "serious" security vulnerabilities, meaning if you do it and get a bad copy (or get hit by a random attack through other means), you could have your machine bricked.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2026, 20:08Thought we had a thread for this but I guess not

That was a brief read though... it makes me a bit leery.
That said, I guess if you "know" your copy is clean, AND you run a non-internet connected machine just for gaming while using sneaker net to transfer to it, that might mitigate issues. I honestly don't know though...
Usually is, but there is always the risk factor. Still, I think anyone "serious" about it could mitigate through various measures where the risks weren't that much of an issue. For the average guy though, without taking various system setup percussions, I would be a bit.. careful until more info and things play out.Valter wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2026, 20:47I should point out that while there's some undeniable risks to the method, I'm seeing a lot of funny fake "I installed HV and MY PC BLEW UP AND ALL MY ACCOUNTS GOT HACKED AND MY LIFE IS OVER but let me take my time to write out this out on this piracy forum and reddit."

this is just some poor explanation on what a hv is, i still dont get why denuvo relies on it, mocking low level calls?Oyster Sauce wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2026, 20:30Hypervisor cracks and Windows security - an introductionasf wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2026, 20:27i cant find any technical discussion on this, what is the idea here, are these garbage wirh denuvo just doing some kernel checks? is this just mocking the stuff? if so hv cracks should have been around for ages, thing is trivial
i havent cracked a denuvo game in years, and even then i just made some simple algorithm to reverse the self vm to remove the gayness and it worked fine in a vm
hv spoofing in qemu is trivial, all the muh security is just fearmongering, but i still dont get the idea

I just wanted to know the performance impact of running it in a hypervisor but it seems nobody has used it

Not worth the risk to play current slop games which get discounted anyway after a few months. Hardware prices are just too high for that. And I also recently switched to linux, so probably wont work anyway.
Also if you wanna be uptodate what is cracked.
Check that.

"I don't care what they tell you in College of Winterhold, Tiber Septim was a Redguard.”
I actually will not directly pay for a game with Denuvo because it is malware, and am much more likely to pay for a game without DRM, even if it's **** easy to pirate.
That said, I'm not going to use borderline rootkits to bypass other corpo rootkits.

I don't trust it and will either wait for a proper crack or buy the game at a steep discount. Both options could take a while, but the endless backlog yearns to be played.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ April 4th, 2026, 20:08Anyone used any of the hypervisor bypasses being released?

******** have even ruined piracy, crazy how they ruin everything
no I don't want to install your gay app that requires linking with discord to download a game, this is more humiliating than just paying

The only Denuvo game I'd care to pirate at the moment is 40k Daemonhunters, and it's like a 6/10 on a scale of how much I'd want to play it. I've already got Cyberknights: Flashpoint scratching my tactical RPG itch for the next few weeks anyway.
