And yet they managed: Crimson Desert hacked through the hypervisor

Hacker Kirigiri says he cracked Denuvo in Crimson Desert in under a day after launch. Not a long, polished reveal — a quick drop that reportedly uses a hypervisor-based approach, already tuned for both Intel and AMD processors (e.g., mainstream Ryzen and Core lines).

Distribution landed a notable partner: FitGirl will be handling releases. Work from MKDEV and CS.RIN.RU reduced setup chores; you won’t have to fiddle with the hypervisor manually anymore. FYI: Windows still requires driver signature enforcement to be disabled.

On Discord Kirigiri admitted it wasn’t trivial. Denuvo had deployed new checks that had to be tracked and neutralized essentially “on the fly.” He also said he won’t accept donations and wants to oversee the creation of stable builds himself — a decision people are reading in different ways.
