Why You Should Remove DOOM Eternal from your PC Immediately
CLARIFICATION: Denuvo Anti-Tamper is NOT the same as Denuvo Anti-Cheat.
Denuvo Anti-Tamper (henceforth DAT) is software used to obfuscate code during the compiling process. This makes it harder for pirates/crackers to crack the software through reverse engineering. This software has no bearing on the operating system but is built into the executable. It may cause game performance issues at times but that is the extent of it. DAT is what people generally are talking about when they say a game has "Denuvo".
Denuvo Anti-Cheat (henceforth DAC) is the new anti-cheat introduced with update 1. It is an EXTREMELY invasive anti-cheat software that runs at ring-0 (kernel level) of your operating system. Read the thread for more information
Please do not make the error of thinking these two things are the same.
βοΈ NOTE: To make it extra clear. The fact that we were NOT INFORMED that such an intrusive piece of software would be added to the game before purchase is unacceptable. Worse yet, it's required to be running to so much as run the game, multiplayer or not. People are bringing to my attention that some other games use similar anti-cheats. That does not make them any less dangerous and the lack of knowing such software would be employed before purchase makes this doubly unacceptable.
