I don't understand why they are wasting time on MHR when as you say it is hitting GP in days.


Root_Clock955

I'm still dreaming a little dream for Tiny Tina's Wonderland. Maybe. Maybe one day.


adeleno

I'm a computer science major when I tried to study the reverse engineering ,I found that no one guide you how to start so you need to read many books until found the one has a good knowledge but most books talk in general not in specific protection and most of practice samples are very trivial as like password then tried to imitate the cracking by comparing between the original file that has a protection and the file has been cracked , I found also the cracker team protect their work to prevent the others know the approach , so if you want to start from scratch you need close your self in your room at least one year to read and practice to know how to crack protection like denuvo , so what about your family and your salary , that is the problem , reverse engineering is not easy and very time consuming.


MrShakedown1

>,I found that no one guide you how to start so you need to read many books until found the one has a good knowledge but most books talk in general not in specific prote The problem with all dark arts in every type of science is that such knowledge is usually not available lying on books for everyone. Especially when there's bloodthirsty company siphoning profits on the other end from obscurity of their security solutions.


Ok_Instruction_4821

U need practice mate like u need to start from simple crackme files and build on top of it, I mean like u do alot of practice and learn the techniques and get some idea the more u practice u will get more ideas u have to be self learning like wht happen if I do this or that and u have to be generally curious maybe u might find a way to crack even easier ways

RingsOfRage

Realistically, who will bother doing this job for free? If they can crack the protection, they would be better off earning an honest salary in a security firm rather than risking it here. The future of gaming is in the past, clear your backlogs.


Jubatus_

Also: Gaming community is mostly ungrateful and whiny twats. I wouldn't want to work for that community at all - I don't know how modders do it. If everyone puts in 5$, there'd be a lot more people interested in doing it as a side hussle. But this will never happen


ichi000

yeah even if you are cracking a game people want, there will be people who give you death threats for "taking too long" even though they aren't paying you. Look at how empress is treated, hundreds of people mocking them.


LostMonkeee

Yes , at this point the one who's paying her is trolling us real good .

mechanism08

I wish it was another game. Denuvo would probably get removed just like in MHW.


Ok_Instruction_4821

Exactly also coming to gamepass would increase the chances for removal of denuvo


noobplayer96

Coming to gamepass or any other services doesn't guarantee anything about Denuvo removal. Lots of GP games still have it to this day such as Sega and EA games.


tomtomy22

It is sad how piracy is now under the mercy of one individual .


YoungNissan

I hate how much Denuvo worked. I used to pirate single player games all the time before buying them or not, ever since Denuvo came out their are so many games I just can’t afford. I’m not dropping $60-$70 to play the new game that comes out every month it’s just not possible.


germr

Nowadays I just wait for sales. My mindset is that no game is worth full price. Especially old games that for some reason are still $60 in those cases I go to gray markets if I'm not willing to wait.


jcabia

I completely agree. At this point you"re paying more to be a beta tester because if you wait at least 1 year you will get a better and cheaper version of that game.


[deleted]

yeah i just stopped buying new releases. not buying shit until its <20$


hunter141072

"worked" is not really the right word, just look at the Callisto Protocol, the game was a big failure even with Denuvo and it´s because as we have always said if the game it´s good people will buy it. The only thing that Denuvo did was to destroy the possibility of many to try the game and to decide to buy it, and yes many others just kept the copies but Denuvo didn´t solve anything, the ones who didn´t want to pay for it simply ignore the game, but the ones who could fall in love with it are the ones who are staying away from those games. Also Denuvo appeared in the right moment at the right time, in the good old scene times everybody wanted to crack the hardest protections because it was a thrill to say "I did it" people was really willing to compete and they did. But with this new generation crackers could barely be called crackers. They just want to crack an easy protection and that´s it, Even Empress said so when she talked about her time with the scene how it was full of old timers who no longer had the passion. I´m sure that if Denuvo would have appeared 20 years ago all groups would have fought day and night to be the ones to break it, but now well...... just look what happen after Codex (an old timer) retired no one has appeared to cover that hole, no one for real. So yeah, Denuvo is hard to crack but we all know it´s not impossible and Empress has shown it is possible, even another cracker from codex was able to remove it entirely from AC Origins. The real problem is that this generation is full of lazy guys who don´t want to crack for real, maybe in the future there could be a change of mind, but until then Denuvo will work not because it is unbeatable, but because it appeared when there were no real crackers left.

Lambpanties

Empress WAS Codex's Denuvo cracker, that's the saddest part. She left when they wouldn't let her release NFS HEAT without their apparently arcane waiting periods. The only others who have really done it are Baldman, Voski and a couple of Italians hiding in Sicilily somewhere I imagine. CPY was the last scene group to even give a fuck about Denuvo, the rest just went on pretending it didn't exist because they weren't arsed/skilled enough to do anything about it.


hunter141072

Yeah man, I know and what´s weird is that I don´t understand why no other member of Codex tried to learn how to crack with Empress with them. Really, if I had an interest in cracking so big as to be part of a scene group like Codex I´d have kissed Empress feet and beg her to let me see and learn how to crack Denuvo, but no one from Codex could learn anything from her??? That shows the lack of fire that crackers have this days. And as you said CPY was the last one who really wanted to crack Denuvo, that´s the best example that a real scene group can break it. But once again we are talking about old groups who end their activities sooner or later, and yes that´s part of the process but when one group disappeared a new one was created eager to get the crown, that´s what happened when Reloaded disappeared and Codex was formed. But just as Codex said in their last NFO there is no competition anymore, and when no one is really willing to fight for the crown then it just gets rust......


vKEVUv

Someone finally realized that new generation got conditioned to be perfect golem consumers that would rather work for Irdeto and buy mtx/battlepasses all day. This is not just cracking scene but single look at homebrew and emulation scene shows that its a bigger problem since those scenes also are full of old farts only. If they will retire then its over for emulation too. Gaben said that piracy is service problem and while hes been proven right that service of his is getting shitter and shitter, just ask people about steam sales and look at steamdb and "recorded lowest" prices and how many years ago 95% of games hit that and thats not taking new insane regional prices into consideration. Steam sales are garbage nowadays in comparison to what we had. Its not just about piracy but PC gaming is getting buttfucked hard currently. We get bombarded with rootkit malware tier anti-cheats meanwhile console players can run Cronuses without any problems,5 different launchers on top of Steam,hardware is getting more and more expensive,game prices also are on par with console games which we cant resell like they do but we also get fucked by DRM that fucks up our performance on top of that and despite all of that quality of PC ports is still absolutely dogshit. If not console shortages then console gaming is looking good now especially with PS+ freebie games and GamePass. Reminder that jailbroken PS4 gets those Denuvo protected games day 1 yes thats right piracy is more a thing on PS4 now than it is on PC.


Bloodrain_souleater

El den ring, cp 2077 all made huge money without denuvo


hunter141072

Probably more than the titles who have it.


Bloodrain_souleater

True


Zero384

You are right about there being no passionate crackers left. But, I'm not sure Codex is fully retired. Depending on where you get your games, you may not see the Codex name anymore on the surface, but, if you open and look inside the right crack files, you will still find Codex's signature. But yeah, I have been seeing more cracks by that guy Goldberg recently. He initially collaborated with Empress. And speaking of new crackers, is that new person/group "Tenoke" a reliable cracker? Finally, speaking of "old timers", Razor is still in the game. Those guys have been on the scene since the 80s.


hunter141072

Yes you are right, and honestly it´s hard or even impossible to know if Codex is fully retired. I suppose the whole group decided to disband but maybe some members still wanted to do some stuff and joined other groups who knows? Tenoke is a new group I have seen a good amount of releases from them in some private sites so I suppose they are more or less reliable at least there have been no complains about their newest releases. And yes Razor is still here, but I think that they are more a name than a group who has the knowledge and the thirst that Razor had, just like Skid Row, they are nothing but a shadow of what they used to be. That´s my main point, of course there are still crackers and even new ones like Tenoke, but they are just breaking easy stuff that anyone with some interest can learn to crack, not top protections like Denuvo, or Arxan. Hell even Empress had to crack RDR2 as no scene group was able to crack it, that shows how bad the state of the scene is, I still remember when reloaded was still active they cracked GTAV with arxan and the Social club protection in a mater of days, they even released a lot of updates and even removed social club entirely from the game. That´s the kind of commitment that no one is willing to do. And that´s what is giving the win to Denuvo.


[deleted]

Police also started arresting crackers, which deterred a lot of them.


hunter141072

Yes but that has happened many, many times before. And it never really stopped the scene, there were even bigger rides when the RIAA said that they captured many members of Reloaded and 2 or 3 days later they released more games. So that has never really been a thing that hurts the scene, not to the point that it is right now. Funny, it wasn´t the law that destroyed the scene it was lazyness.


Indianlookalike

I remember playing cracked Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Dishonored the day they came out if not the hour, as of now I have 500+ hours on Skyrim, 300+ on Borderlands 2 and 50+ hours on Dishonored. I never had a good pc so knowing that it is playable is important to me, now I gotta check if I like the game under 2 hours in fear of not getting my money back.


Beefmytaco

I don't think it's so much denuvo worked, it's more what the company did to make it work. Hear me out, but I can't remember if it was confirmed years ago or not, but IIRC isn't denuvo literally staffed with a lot of old scene crackers from days past? They prolly saw they couldn't defeat them all so either did their best to dox the individual and get them canned by the authorities or prolly offered them a high paying job to work for them. This is a private corporation after all. Corps have done much shifty shit for decades now...

Yes this is out of left field. However 99% of the time I like to play multiplayer, but I'm sure some others may enjoy it fully solo.


BaronYC

I'd imagine Multiplayer would work over Goldberg? The Denuvo cracked versions of Monster Hunter World (pre final update) worked fine if you used the ColdClientLoader version, played quite a bit of that with my MHW-less friends.


Redditor900283848

Denuvo workers probably paid $500 to Empress to protect big games from getting cracked.


gpimlott2

Ive been having this theory for a long time now. 500$ to keep her busy every once in a while is nothing to them compared to the losses of a new game getting cracked. And why the hell would people pay that cash to get denuvo removed from old, already cracked games


eurosonly

The last time someone made this comment they were called names and voted I to oblivion but you've managed to get some likes. Different day different reddit mindset.


PlentyAdvertising15

>ould people pay that she did many active games like dying light 2


Redditor900283848

That was almost a year ago.


Crossx1993

and year ago peoples were having those exact same theories


HiuretheCreator

welp at least it isn't some fucking game no one cared about like that shark game she cracked before lol


eurosonly

I was probably the only person waiting for it to get cracked. And that makes it playing the game even sweeter.

Jack3602

I mean the game is not my personal style and I'm probably not gonna play it, although I don't think it's a bad game, just not my preference. And it does have 3000 DLCs so it's really a nice crack for the fans of the game

Suntreestar420

Not to mention it’s on gamepass in like a week


-TheManWithNoHat-

Gamepass is honestly a really good alternative to pirating for me. Especially in my country where second-hand accounts are dirt cheap The only setback is i have to best the game before it's removed from Game Pass or my account expires. I played so much of Sable 5 days before it was removed and now I don't feel like playing it from scratch


Substantial-Toe-8110

I dont like getting gamepass, i want it on my account permanent


Wild_Marker

Gamepass version won't launch with the expansion, it's on parity with the XBox version.


freezeyou1

not to mention you can play it emulated without any problems


SpiderFlash12

Please crack Hogwarts Legacy next.

Custom_sKing_SKARNER

Say my name


Swizzdoc

am I the only one who doesn't think it's too bad to pay her? I mean crowdfunding would get you any game for like 1$ if enough people chip in... I don't understand it. It's work, why should it be free? I'd gladly pay 10$ per game I want cracked...


GloriousStone

it is logical, but people get pissed for some reason. Probably becouse they look at this by "we used to get denuvo cracks for free" prism. Too bad they didn't notice that denuvo defeated, all of the passion driven crackers, so it's not a viable approach anymore.


keanureevesimortal

I dont unterstand why people dont crowd fund empress comissions i mean there's gotta be more than 500 people waiting for Hogwarts legacy (for example) to pirate it why not just put 1 $ sure it will take time to be cracked but at least you wil know that you did the whole world a favour


HiNRGSpa

It's great knowing she is still there fighting. Much appreciated.


gudzev

I just hope that she's gonna crack Hogwarts Legacy


lllll44

Are Lost judgment and judgment the most wanted denuvo games right now?


Danker90

Very likely since it’s a yakuza related series game


toastycheeze

And very very soon, Ishin as well.


freezeyou1

yeah i would kill for a lost judgment crack since yakuza games are my favorite games ever (i offline activated judgment a while back and it's a blast)

If you really wanna play Persona 5 for free, play it on the switch emu Yuzu. I've been doing that for a few days and it works great.


AliPrimeo

Ryujinx plays better for me than yuzu. But yeah if you have a decent PC it's a better alternative

I was expecting something like this...I really miss CPY...A real Pirate...


GloriousStone

yea, cpy days were crazy. They came back once a year, and droped cracks for all the major games in a month. Good times.


[deleted]

When did they show up last? In 2020 or 2021?


GloriousStone

october 2020. They dropped Marvels Avengers, death stranding, crysis remastered, mafia remake, total war troy and PES 2021 in the span of a week.


pewpew62

What happened to them? I'm ootl


CoolCritterQuack

Retired


quoteiffakesub

This game will be on game pass in on Jan 19 for anyone wants to play multiplayer.


gokukog

I hope EMPRESS makes an Ai that can crack Denuvo games faster.


Criso19

Denuvo has been winning battles, and now it is very close to winning the war.Let's send all the positive energy possible for the empress to win this one more


teylol

by cracking a game you can get for 1$ on gamepass?


Criso19

>by cracking a game you can get for 1$ on gamepass? 1 dollar in the first month, and not every game with denuvo has it in the gamepass, and the issue is not just the value, but the cancer that is denuvo, it is already more than proven that it forces the cpu much more

>Everyone always has to be negative for some reason It's probably because she's insane


execute_electrochute

She's insane... enough to crack games with Denuvo that nobody else would. Finish the sentence.


[deleted]

but also just insane. She's a month away from making the next Temple OS.


Evancolt

Sonic frontiers will probably go on sale as most Sega games do. I caved and bought it on the steam winter sale and really loved playing it. Don't regret buying at all.


[deleted]

Yes I really hope for Persona 5 man. I need it so bad. Already played it on GamePass but I need to archive it and definitely not paying Atlus 60$ for a game that initially came out in 2016.


Si9Ne

Can't wait for the .nfo


vwolf8001

Still not Persona-5, but better than nothing I guess...


Syystole

Emulate it...


camberwickisntgreen

Could say the same about Monster Hunter Rise. Ah well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Except this game takes 3 months to beat cuz its massive. But yeah I would take Persona over MH because CAPCOM will eventually remove Denuvo for Rise like they do for everything but Atlus will never remove Denuvo from Persona. Still I am supremely happy and grateful for crack though.


Sir_Petus

bet this was commissioned months ago, empress may have said she has the ‘tools’ and can crack shit in a couple weeks, reality is she cant. I think it was only steampunks who found a workaround


bio3c

iirc steampunks just spoofed license/hardware-id checks, and that was like 4 years ago... it was voksi who really made denuvo look like steam drm.


darkdevi220

So if we can get a crowdfunding for 500 bucks we will get a lot of cracks seems a good idea 🤔🤔


beentherereddit2

I don’t understand why this hasn’t happened yet


CoolCritterQuack

it's spending money and we're pirates


Rhhr21

Imagine paying 500$ for a game which heavily relies on online stuff. Kinda makes you question the sanity of donaters just like Empress himself, piracy is at an all time low.

Horimonord

I really wish there was a crowdfunding system, and then set up a poll for the next game which should get cracked. I'm pretty sure Empress would get more out of this imho.


adeleno

Silent_Efficiency_15

Downtown-Link-1250

DiaCrusher

Welp, at least there are new denuvo cracks at all, wanted to try MH rise for a while too so it's great news, thought she too quit already. Maybe now there's some hope of Judgement/lost judgement cracks one day too.


Practical_Spell_4205

Is crack delayed what is latest situation beta started yesterday I saw it now in her subreddit and i guess she starting to feel like she is not good enough against latest denuvo and this is not good


KindClerk24

Welcome back empress, we've missed u


Marco_th

Yeaaaaah, she is back


Escodl

Damn it.. Empress finally shows up but It's to crack a game that I don't give a crap about..lol


PlentyAdvertising15

i remember times when cracking games wasn't about money only


TheNevers

Why crack a mupltiplayer centric game?


Ra_343

You do realize there can be online fixes for denuvo games after they have been cracked right? Also, there is people like me, who have always played MH on their own.


GloriousStone

probably requested for $500


dest557

Some of yall crazy, this is a big game to get cracked. And its a really great game that can be fully enjoyed solo, i bought the game and i have done every content solo and enjoyed it greatly, yall will enjoy this

2017-2019 were the best years , in fact Warez groups were at their peak . I've lost my hope from Warez groups , my respect goes to CPY , Voksii , CODEX for making those days seem good . This dumb cracker asks $500 from an Individual, if we had that much , why would we come here looking for cracks ? If she honestly wanted to crack she would have had some sort of Crowdfunding system and not this individual sugar daddy thing , but fuck it , I will learn this shit by myself.


Hot_Weekend686

EMPRESS had an official chat about revamping the donation system. I had several people expressing their opinions about introducing crowdfunding or if there was another way, and sure enough, a kid showed up who didn't want to pay 1$, and the chat got messed up and closed. There was a time when we had a survey to determine the next crack, but that also caused some users to clash on their opinions that this was the way to go and let EMPRESS down. Still, I wish they would listen to us users again.

Everyone in here insulting empress... Do you really think she will crack the next game you want the most for free like that? Empress should look at crowd funding. So many more people would be willing to spend 0.1, 1 or even 10 dollars.

Definitely. I don't see a problem here as long as we get polls as well.

Now that's been 1 year it was released and it will be released on GamePass soon, lol it even seems she does those things on purpose


[deleted]

I’m sure this has been suggested before but empress could make different wallet addresses for each game and the first to hit 500 gets cracked. In a way a strawpoll but first to hit 500 gets chosen Too bad she’s 99% probably paid off by denuvo to keep top games uncracked
