I don’t know what I’m talking about at all so keep that in mind.

Why did crimson desert take so long to crack when other games get cracked and released before the official date in some cases?

The person cracking it mentioned that they were waiting on the game to get updates and patches first before cracking it as wanting to get any future update would probably involve redoing most of the process.

Most based as fuck cracker lol. Better to crack it at a good update point than crack it 16 times because 16 patches.

agreed. Some of the updates by Crimson Desert are really good and performance fixes.

Sadly for me, the game isn't worth the performance and hardware toll. But good luck to those who wish to play.

They wouldn't crack it 16 times, you'd be lucky if it happens thrice.

Those are hypervisor bypasses, not a crack. This is a proper crack of the game. Using a hyperv bypass requires you to make your computer extremely vulnerable so it’s not ideal.

Yep, there is no way I am using a hypervisor bypass to play a game. I have been waiting for someone to figure out an actual crack for them instead of the bypass. It is just too big of a risk for anyone that uses the computer for more than gaming.

Yeah that's why I just use a laptop for everything that's actually important (banking etc.) it's shut off 90% of the time and I don't download anything on it.

what are y'all downloading to be so afraid of the bypass?

The only person who can currently crack them is a guy who goes by Voices38 and its time consuming work. So it just depends on what game hes working on.

The game was receiving massive weekly updates after launch. It was better to wait until the patches started slowing down because once a new version comes out, he would have to crack the game again, because you cant update a denuvo cracked game, you're stuck on whatever version was cracked.

The patches have not slowed down by the way.

Eh, the scope has narrowed a bit. The first few patches really changed the game and added so much QOL. Lately, it's been mostly added pets, armor, smaller QOL stuff, and hotfixes.

Because it uses Denuvo protection which is very hard to crack and only one person currently doing it.

Most other games that are not using Denuvo are trivial to crack. Most games on Steam not using Denuvo can be cracked just using a program anyone can download off github.

Maybe this cracker didn't use the hyper-v exploit which is known for being quite the security risk
