3DM might be able to crack Denuvo protection after all

Matthew Wilson February 11, 2016 Security

Earlier this week we learned that cracking group 3DM would be taking a year off to see if there would be any effect on game sales. However, many took this to mean that the group just couldn't break Denuvo protection, which is found on many new games including Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. This has apparently fueled the crackers with a bit of determination and it looks like they may be close to breaking Denuvo after all.

According to an announcement from 3DM's leader (via: TorrentFreak), the group will soon have a solution for pirates after FIFA 16, Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

“3DM will soon announce that we have a solution to the latest Denuvo encryption used on games including ‘FIFA 16’, ‘Just Cause 3’, and ‘Tomb Raider: The Rise. We made this announcement because a lot of players believe we have abandoned cracking due to technical problems, but we will prove it is not the case. We have not yet been stumped”.

This announcement pretty much goes against past comments from the group, who recently said that game piracy could die out in a few years. Either way, it looks like Denuvo might be crackable after all.

KitGuru Says: We don't promote piracy but this has been an interesting set of events to follow. It certainly seems a little odd that a group would announce taking a year off but then suddenly have a solution to crack the toughest DRM currently around.

    bout time! I had to buy tomb raider, but not a drm or anti tamper fan as SecuRom in the day screwed my PC up and I had to buy a new one! The game publisher didn’t care that it cost me another few hundred to replace the machine whereas I don’t care if they lose money either! If gog.com can sell non drm games legally then so can game companies! They are all a bunch of arseholes and don’t care if your machine gets fucked up!

    Denuvo, for their part, has gone on record that their DRM is not completely uncrackable. It is designed to be hard enough to crack to give games time to be out in the market without game companies worrying about piracy.
