Denuvo will lock you out of games if you keep changing Proton versions

Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.

Here's the thing — Denuvo Anti-Tamper games do work on Linux systems when running a Windows game through Proton. However, Denuvo has a set limit on the amount of activations it allows per-game. This is five systems it detects within 24 hours.

The problem is on Linux systems with Proton, you might be trying to find the best version of Proton to run the game with, especially so for new releases. If you keep changing your Proton version this can trip up Denuvo and count each Proton swap as a new activation. What happens then? You get locked out for 24 hours.

So keep in mind for games that have Denuvo Anti-Tamper to limit the amount of times you swap the Proton version.

After i learned how much this company…

After i learned how much this company enjoys to screw their customers over, I have decided to never purchase a game if its connected to denuvo. So I'll add them to the pile with activision, EA, Ubisoft, gacha games and all the other garbage. It might seem hard but damm.. life is good when you stop eating poopoo. Plenty of good games out there, new and old that can scratch your itch far better than most modern AAA games.

Facilitating anticonsumerist DRM

Incessant operations burden the legitimate player's hardware, helping tip the scales in game developer / publishers' favour

It's a developer / publisher's responsibility to combat undesired behaviour at their own expense and incentivise players for behaving well

Denuvo passes the performance and electricity costs to the end user

Has broken my game

Has broken my game - Midnight Suns, as will not let me load it. I have purchased a game for £89 I should be able to play when I want to and not be told to try again in 24 hours.

DRM clowns

Don't know why any self respecting business would use this software. Just look at now Callisto protocol on PC, it uses Denuvo and it has major performance issues just like EVERY game that has had Denuvo. I'm surprised these clowns are still in business.

Very Bad DRM (Digital rights Managemnet) Software. Spyware which slows your PC down and makes Games unplayeable and incompatible with Linux. I will never buy any Software which uses the denuvo crap again. I already got a refund or my game. It's time for Game Companies to stop using these DRM crap DRM has failed !
