If you are on Steam, please share your feedback here about your experience with the Denuvo Anti-Cheat Trial.
Thank you!
Currently, shortly after launching the game on Steam, my system experiences a complete "hard freeze." The computer becomes completely unresponsive—keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+Del do not work, and there is zero response from the system. The only sign of life is the game's background audio continuing to play. This crash occurs randomly, sometimes while sitting in the main menu and other times in the middle of a match.
I immediately isolated the issue by running through a comprehensive troubleshooting checklist:
- Updated my graphics card drivers to the latest version.
- Verified the integrity of the game files.
- Completely disabled Windows Core Isolation (Memory Integrity) to prevent kernel-level clashes.
- Added the game and the anti-cheat executables to the trusted applications/exclusions list in my antivirus software.
- Disabled the Steam Overlay and ensured no other background overlays were running.
Despite these advanced steps, the total system lockups persisted. To confirm the root cause, I switched to playing the game via the Epic Games Store where the Denuvo test is currently inactive. On the Epic version the game runs flawlessly with absolutely no freezes or lockups.
I also want to note that even during the brief periods where the Steam version didn't completely crash my PC, I was experiencing occasional micro-stutters, which are entirely absent on the Epic Games version.
