(Images: Square Enix) Update 08/11/2021: Denuvo has provided a statement to PC Gamer in which he declared that domain issues were behind the downtime over the weekend, but didn’t explicitly say that the problem domain had expired. “The Denuvo domain was unavoidable yesterday afternoon. The problem was fixed when we became aware of our automatic system control,” a spokesperson said. “After the repair, there was no restriction or limitation for the gamer. Denuvo is working to implement further improvements to prevent such a long time gap. You may have noticed a teeny little issue of not using an old fashioned ring. It seems like Denuvo’s servers had some hiccup on November 7 thus unplayable tons of games with the DRM technology. Reports began flooding on ResetEra and various Steam community pages. Often people got a “server-untachable error” when they tried trying to boot various games. This issue plagued a few big releases such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Football Manager 2022, as well as games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Persona 4 Golden (thanks, VGC). There’s no clear reason for the stupidity of Denuvo, but some are speculating that the company simply forgot to renew his domain, used for verifying games activations. The registration for the codefusion domain expired on September 24 this yearyesterday, but it seemed to be when the grace period for renewal ended, by booting it off of the DNS. It looks like this scenario is unlikely because now the domain has been renewed and the entire thing is back to normal. I contacted Denuvo to clarify if it was reason for the shortfall, but I don’t know whether it should have been to it now. See more For a tech already quite well-equipped model, it can’t help Denuvo’s case. The ResetEra and Steam threads weren’t particularly satisfying for it, and it’s also great when those hiccups prevent you from playing single-player, offline games. Even though a solitary-sector was used in this year’s disdain for Denuvo, it emerged that the thirtieth versions of Resident Evil Village apparently ran better because the lack of DRM prevented it from working around and fixing its stuttering issues (Denuvo denied that its software was the cause of the mistake). In recent years, Intel Alder Lake has problems with some games that can be found in Denuvo, so they can’t boot on the new processors.
