Re: Remove Denuvo from NFS Heat

@karboneater yeah get that refund you deserve. This game is performing like * and has a million problems that don't get fixed. I suspect Denuvo is part of the problem cause everyone is getting 100% CPU usage.

  • I’ve bought the game on pc, seen that it was behaving very badly and refunded it after a couple hours where i tried everything, from uninstalling / reinstalling drivers, everything at low settings, all applications closed, temps were all good n etc. I’ve seen that the PS4 which has a ridiculously bad CPU and an halfway decent gpu can run the game at 30 fps with really no hiccups, and i can’t believe i’d say this but i bought that version because it is better than on my PC (it’s the opposite for every other game....lol)

    Believe me considering the data i’ve collected on my tries i am 99% sure that the bad performance this game had on the pc was due to the DRM. It’s either this or they really forgot how to code for PC but to be realistic i don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t be able to make it perform as good as on a pc, if not by basically making you run other stuff behind that.Anyways it won’t matter much since i’ll simply vote with my wallet and buy the drm free copy everytime i can, if it doesn’t exist then nvm the game, lots of companies don’t use denuvo for their games and guess what, those are the ones i buy and play on my pc 😛 rest goes on consoles where mom sony and microsoft won’t allow publishers to sell games with very bad quality standards and fix the drm problem on the root by making a closed system / online network. Tbh out of the two it’s still the best option nowadays imo, because i simply don’t want to buy a cpu hog application, i didn’t buy my hardware for that.

    Also, i can play offline on my ps4, lel

  • I refunded the game aswell on pc and bought it on console, no drm, no always online play, and a game that runs better on a worse hardware than my pc, so from my perspective it is the denuvo drm since i don’t believe that the developers forgot how to code on pc, it must be that the pc simply runs a cpu hog in background

    @Cookiesnap yeah very stupid and ironic. Games a made on a * pc! Why don't they work on a PC? It seems like EA trying to mine some bitcoins in the background too wtf!
