Intel Alder Lake i9 CPUs Can't Run Some Games Due To Faulty DRMs

https://www.techtimes.com/articles/267630/20211105/intel-alder-lake-denuvo.htm

05 November 2021

See article for a full explanation

Compatibility issues between Intel Alder Lake CPU Design and the Denuvo DRM

Denuvo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo


Also Denuvo DRM failed recently as when the DRM phoned home to the
DRM Server, they forgot to renew the Server Internet Registration which
had expired and so DRM Server domain name resolution was down.
Games failed to load as the DRM failed to validate.

Intel provides a workaround for certain games and CPUs with Denuvo DRM issues

https://hitechglitz.com/intel-provides-a-workaround-for-certain-games-and-cpus-with-denuvo-drm-issues/

DRM is using the wrong cores.


Because of this solution, the efficiency cores of the Alder Lake processor are put into standby mode to prevent them from causing problems in the affected games. This is how you can benefit from it:

Turn on the system and enter the system BIOS setup.
Enable Legacy Game Compatibility Mode to ON (one time) in the BIOS.
Save and exit BIOS setup changes.
Boot into the operating system.
Turn on the keyboard scroll lock key.
Launch the affected game title.
Turn off the keyboard scroll lock key after exiting the game title

Intel said that “a software fix has been identified by the manufacturer of the affected DRM software and is being rolled out.”

Every PC Game With Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM
https://www.game-debate.com/games/gamesWithDenuvo

A complete list of every PC game using Denuvo Anti-Tamper digital rights management (DRM).

Denuvo DRM anti-piracy measures may require an online connection, rendering a game unplayable while offline.

This list of Denuvo games keeps track of titles with Denuvo, as well as games which have had Denuvo support removed post-launch.

There are reports that Denuvo can affect frames per second in PC games, although there is not currently enough data available to confirm this one way or the other

Denuvo outage leaves PC games unplayable... yep. Big games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Football Manager 2022 & Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (& way more) all got hit. It gets worse when we look into Intel's new Alder Lake chip too...

Some games still need a fix for Intel Alder Lake, but Denuvo says it had everything ready ahead of launch

https://www.pcgamer.com/some-games-still-need-a-fix-for-intel-alder-lake-but-denuvo-says-it-had-everything-ready-ahead-of-launch/


Some CYA

If fixes are not in the hands of Gamers before they encounter the issue
then they were simply not ready (regardless of who had them
they still need to be distributed)
