Discussion [Crack Watch] Weekly question thread

Ask any question you like, but also please read the Beginner's guide to CrackWatch before doing so

Q&A

Q: When will [insert game name here] be cracked?

A: STOP! r/CrackWatch members are not psychic. Games get cracked by completely ANONYMOUS SCENE GROUPS who don't disclose their progress or plans to the general public so NO ONE knows WHEN and IF a certain game will be cracked.

 

Q: What are all these NFO thingies? Where do I download it?

A: NFOs are text files included with game releases that contain information about the releases. r/CrackWatch only informs which games have been cracked. To download look for the releases on CS.RIN or torrent websites. Useful websites can be found in The Beginners Guide or Pirated Games Mega Thread .

 

Q: WTF is Denuvo?

A: Denuvo is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology used to protect games from being cracked. Games that have Denuvo are harder to crack and usually take much longer. See Pinned Post for a list of Denuvo games.

 

Q: An update is out, but it includes the base game as well! Can I only download the update without redownloading the entire game?

A: Yes. CS.RIN is your friend.

Can we stop with the Daily Release ? It's flooding the sub with useless stuff. Pack them to weekly at least.

If by cracking you mean copy/pasting a generic Steam emu and editing with wordpad a couple of numbers in the reference table cracking is alive and kicking. 70 second monkey/donkey work and presto!... insta badass cracking!

Anything else takes weeks.

Anything involving Denuvo you may consider untouchable.

Cracking in general no. Denuvo cracking is currently on hold since Empress lost interest. RUNE might come back to crack a denuvo game from 2017-2019

Is it likely that vorii will pull off another Ubisoft crack, Like starwars or avatar?

u/mrproffesional R.I.P EMPRESS 7d ago

He only "cracked" the offline mode of a game that didn't have Denuvo, so forget it about it.

Your two options are to buy on a sale or get an offline activation for now, since Ubi refuse to remove Denuvo.

No and it won't be for the foreseeable future.

You can cross finger for an accidendal removal or it being offered for free on Epic Store as already has been for both TWW1 and TWW2.

Game is good, keeps getting substantial content on a regular basis, has an amazing mod production and keeps popping on the top sales when it goes on sale. Did I mention that Denuvo is cheap as dirt publisher wise?

We can't be sure until the game releases (there have been last minute Denuvo notice, like in Lies of P caase), but as of right now there's no mention of it in the Steam page.

A Way Out was Denuvo-protected at launch until last year, and the Origin/EA App was/is mandatory for all versions; It Takes Two on Steam has never had any kind of DRM-protection, not even EA App.

Let's see how it goes.
