Since when does Denuvo block mods?

Since when does Denuvo block mods?

The whole point of Denuvo (and any DRM in games) is to prevent modifying the running code. Unless there's some kind of official modding system, there will be no way to inject DLLs or do anything else invasive to the running game.

I run ReShade with Denuvo-protected games all the time.

Lol you guys are idiots. ReSahde no longer exists because it proves my point? I suppose all the RE4 mods on NexusMods are also fake. And all the other mods for Denuvo protected games.

Step outside of your bubble once in a while.

When it doesn’t allow DLC unlockers (which Denuvo blocks)

That’s quite a stretch. Denuvo is used for DRM, so of course it will block people from cracking DLC.

But you can’t just say “Denuvo means no mods” because that is blatantly untrue, and all it takes disprove that is five minutes browsing Nexus Mods to find thousands of mods for Denuvo-protected games like RE4 Remake. Or even just installing ReShade.

It’s fine to hate on DRM, but lying about what it does won’t accomplish anything but make you look misinformed.
