Hell yes thank you for posting this. A week or so ago when I first saw the news about the hypervisor crack and saw it on the list of games I was initially excited, and then extremely disappointed when I looked further into it and saw how much bullshit was involved and that it won’t run on Linux.

also:

Hello! DenuvOwO here.

In the article you shared by Bruno Ferreira for Tom’s Hardware, he goes on to say:

“As a somewhat predictable response, Denuvo and 2K Games reportedly just added a 14-day mandatory online check to several titles, including NBA 2K25, NBA 2K26, and Marvel’s Midnight Suns. This is impossible for the HVB to emulate, as it’s a request/response call to Denuvo’s servers and thus in practice can’t be replicated. At some point, the code that executes this check could be removed, but that requires a full game crack rather than the HBP.”

This is far from the truth. We can “emulate” it and we did in our crack fix releases. The releases in question were NBA 2K26, 2K25, Marvel’s Midnight Suns and TopSpin 2K25, which have all had the time spoofed to reflect a date where the old token is still valid. Takes like a second to do.

He also wrote an even worse article before that claims the cracked version by voices38 uses less RAM and VRAM:

https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/denuvo-properly-cracked-in-resident-evil-requiem-bypasses-become-plug-and-play-cracked-version-runs-faster-smoother-and-uses-way-less-vram-and-ram

One thing Bruno Ferreira missed is that the test was flawed and compares an older version of the game against the newer one in voices38’s release. It also wasn’t a Denuvo vs voices38 comparison, rather hypervisor vs voices38.

The test was done again to address this difference, and wouldn’t you know it? voices38’s crack uses more RAM and there’s no VRAM difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6H9paq8jcU

It’s quite literally impossible for voices38’s crack to use less RAM as the crack gets around 600 megabytes of heap memory, then proceeds to make a shadow copy of the game’s executable to it. This is done to redirect Denuvo’s integrity checks to the shadow copy.

He also claims Denuvo is totally removed, which is completely wrong.

He needs to get his head out his ass and actually fact check before making claims, not copy paste anything Pirat_Nation says on Twitter.
