Denuvo properly cracked in Resident Evil: Requiem, bypasses become plug-and-play — cracked version runs faster, smoother, and uses way less VRAM and RAM

Resident Evil: Requiem.

If you've been following the story of Denuvo's recent struggle against the weaponization of savants in the piracy scene, there's a juicy double-whammy of news on that front. Grab your popcorn or fire extinguisher, depending on which side you're on. First, voices38, who's been steadily cracking Denuvo-protected games for a while now, released a full crack for Resident Evil: Requiem, a title that's just over 40 days old, with the DRM fully disabled. It also runs much better than the bypassed version.

As if that weren't enough bad news for Denuvo's parent company, Irdeto, the existing hypervisor-based bypass (HV) that currently requires disabling most of Windows' security layers is seemingly getting a serious upgrade. According to MKDev member KiriGiri, the bypass should soon become plug-and-play, as "[they] found a way to make HV crack to be used without disabling any windows security or other things" (sic).
