Denuvo is one of the most controversial yet effective anti-piracy encryption software used by many game developers, and is notorious for impacting game performance. Irdeto, the company that develops Denuvo software, believes that the encryption technology will not affect game performance and will not have a negative impact on the game.
Irdeto created an official Discord server for Denuvo in response to questions that players have asked over the years. The company claims that Denuvo encryption technology will not affect game performance and gives examples of actual reasons for reduced game performance.
Irdeto's statement that "Denuvo does not affect gaming performance" caused controversy online.该公司坚持认为自己的软件不会造成负面影响，而玩家们却不这么认为。
Irdeto claims that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game performance improved after the developer tweaked the game through updates, and not because Denuvo encryption was later removed.
Irdeto also mentioned a number of games, including Resident Evil 8, Tekken 7, and Persona 5, and explained what caused optimization issues in these games. For example, in "Resident Evil 8", this is because Capcom has added additional protection measures. When the game is cracked, this protection will affect the game performance. When this protection is removed, the game runs faster. "Tekken 7" is due to a source code error issue that will be triggered during specific movements of specific characters, causing the game to freeze. Anyway, the company insists that it is definitely not Denuvo that is causing the performance degradation of the game.
Many players simply do not believe the reasons given by Irdeto, and believe that the use of D encryption technology is the root cause of game performance problems.
