Denuvo's Addition to "Crimson Desert" Angered Fans: Pre-Orders Are Being Canceled
Denuvo's integration into Crimson Desert by players - Just one week before the release of the long-awaited and ambitious combat game "Crimson Desert," the integration of the Denuvo protection system into the game has caused widespread dissatisfaction among players. This decision has led to strong protests from the game's fans.
Game enthusiasts have started canceling their pre-orders and removing the game from their wishlists, concerned that Denuvo will negatively impact the game's performance and worsen the overall gaming experience. This situation is creating a negative image on the eve of the game's release.
From a technical standpoint, information has also been disseminated regarding how "Crimson Desert" performs on various platforms. It is noted that while the game can run on a decade-old GTX 1060 graphics card, a high-end card like the RTX 5070 Ti is required to achieve a stable 60 FPS at 4K resolution.
Furthermore, it is emphasized that, unlike other projects developed with "Unreal Engine 5" on the PS5 Pro console, the game runs at "an entirely different level." This indicates the game's high optimization potential.
Leaked initial reviews of the game describe "Crimson Desert" as an "unpolished diamond," noting both its positive and negative aspects. While these reviews highlight the game's great potential, they also indicate the existence of certain shortcomings.
According to many players, the addition of Denuvo will negatively impact the game's optimization and erode players' trust in the studio. This situation is considered the most serious problem the studio faces on the eve of the game's release.
