The DRM apparently only lets you launch the game 5 times a day. Each time you restar or turn your pc off and on, it counts as an instance. If you don't close your PC and launch the game, it counts as one, you can keep launching the game, and it won't count as part of the 5 until your PC restarts or turns off and on.

Nothing like getting locked out of the product i paid for because i restarted it on geforce now too many times while not having access to my own personal pc.

Here comes the problem with the DRM which is specific to Dying Light 2. The activation key becomes void after every computer restart so the user must go through the re-activation process again every time. This process also slows down your game boot times by a considerable amount. Combined with the fact that only 5 activations a day are possible, it shouldn't be too soon before we start seeing cases of players being locked out of the game.

Reviewer

A rather unpleasant surprise awaited me. With the patch, the developers added Denuvo and the game started to freeze. This was not in the review version, it worked fine.

Eyepatch master race?

Utter shit. Why lock shit down like this? Do they really think people will clone setups to bypass the DRM or something? If they can do something like that, let them fucking pirate. This game is supposedly buggy. I could see people thinking they needed to restart after a few crashes and then getting locked out.

Some of those posts from the denuvo announcement thread really haven't aged well.

Stop moaning they said.

Strange that this keeps happening

 

[KyoZz]

Wait do people still complain about Denuvo?
What year is this?!

Denuvo works, as long as companies dont piggyback too many DRMs on top it does the job and doesnt actually have the performance hit everyone thinks it has.

Do you have anything to say?
