Denuvo DRM for games still seems to be cracked at Rise of the Tomb Raider

A version of Rise of the Tomb Raider has appeared that appears to have been hacked by the release group Conpir4cy. The release follows the bypass of the Denuvo drm last weekend. However, Denuvo quickly reversed that method.

The release of Rise of the Tomb Raider has a size of 31GB, comes with the latest patch and contains the three DLC packs Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, Cold Darkness Awakened and Endurance Mode, Torrentfreak writes. It is not known how Conspira4cy cracked the Denuvo drm, how long it took them to do so and whether the method can also be applied to other games with the copy protection.

The release follows a bypass, but not a crack, of Denuvo protection last weekend. This method was published by the Bulgarian cracker Voksi and worked with forged app manifests from its server, leading Steam to believe that it was dealing with legitimate licenses. Doom, Rise of The Tomb Raider, Just Cause 3, Inside, ABZÛ and Total War: Warhammer, among others, were playable at no cost to pirates, something 650,000 of them actually did, according to Voksi.

On Monday, Denuvo released a patch that put an end to the workaround. It is not known whether the method of Conspira4cy can easily be patched by the Austrian company. Denuvo is widely used to protect games from copying and the drm is known to be exceptionally hard to crack.
