Assassin's Creed Mirage sneaks in unpopular anti-piracy software hours before launch
Players aren't happy that reviewers didn'tꦏ get to play with Denuvo enabled

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Mirage added a deeply unpopular an🧸ti-piracy feature just hours before launch, and well after revi✱ews had gone live.
A new post on Reddit called attention to⛎ the update yesterday, October 4, hours before Assassin's Creed Mirage launched around the world earlier today on October 5. It's the latest patch which apparentꦜly smuggled in the unpopular Denuvo anti-piracy software, which should be patch 1.0.2, acting as the day one patch for Mirage on all platforms.

It's worth pointing out that we've known Assassin's Creed Mirage would have Denuvo at launch since earlier this year, around July. Ubisoft might have announced the feature beforehand, but what playe🔴rs on the subreddit above aren't happy about is the fact that Mirage reviewers played and reviewed the new game without experiencing Denuvo🎃.
"The review copies didn't have it which is shitty. If you are going to force DRM for a product, reviews copies should also have this," writes one popular comment underneath the Reddit post above. "Literally messes with performance and some reviews for PC were already complaining about hitching before Denuvo. Really scum🍨bag move," another chimes in.
Denuvo is a black sheep among PC gamers because it apparently downgrades performance via its tampering effects. There have been cases in the past with noticeable ꦚframe rate drops and stuttering issues for🐭 games that were under the influence of Denuvo, which exists solely as an anti-piracy initiative.
Mirage PC players are understan𓂃dably concerned that what they're now playing might not truly stack up against the experience PC reviewers were having before launch. If you're going to put $50 or $60 of your hard-earned money down for a game that a reviewer says runs fine on PC, you do♕n't then want to experience a litany of visual bugs and errors because a publisher gave you a different product.
Our own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Mirage review thankfully wasn't conducted on a PC, and we gave it a glowing four out of five stars.
