Now here is a pleasant surprise. A game cracking group was able to completely remove Denuvo and VMProtect from the previous entry in the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed: Origins. As such, there is now a definitive version of the game, without these DRM programs, that only pirates can enjoy.

Going into more details, the game cracking group was able to remove 30 VM entry points for VMProtect and 104 VM entry points for Denuvo. It was also able to fix around 500k absolute & relative code and data pointers.

The group states that this is currently an experimental Proof of Concept release. The main reason behind it was to verify whether Denuvo affects CPU usage and overall performance of this game. Therefore, PC gamers can now test these two versions in this CPU-heavy game and see whether these DRMs bring any performance hit.

As always, we won’t allow any links to pirated content and those who share such links will be banned. Still, and only for educational purposes, we will benchmark this version. We will also compare it with the Denuvo+VMProtect version that is available on UPLAY.

Stay tuned for more!
