Denuvo by Irdeto Unveils New Features for Enhanced Gaming Security at Gamescom

Denuvo Unreal Engine Protection and Integrity Verification features deliver the next level of game security.
AMSTERDAM – August 22, 2023 – Denuvo by Irdeto, the leading provider of security solutions for the gaming industry, proudly announced during Gamescom the release of two new features that can be used independently or in combination to their state-of-the-art Anti-Tamper product. With the introduction of the new Unreal Engine Protection and Integrity Verification features, Denuvo by Irdeto reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding gaming experiences and ensuring fair play in the gaming ecosystem.

Unreal Engine Protection
Denuvo’s Unreal Engine Protection is a pioneering feature designed to prevent malicious users from manipulating games created using Unreal Engine, the industry’s foremost real-time 3D creation tool for photoreal visuals and immersive experiences.

Like all Denuvo products, this first-of-its-kind solution is easy to integrate into the game on a binary level, effectively thwarting data mining attempts and creating formidable barriers against cheat creators, pirates and fraudsters. It shields Unreal Engine game data files against decryption, blocks the use of in-game debug consoles, and conceals entry points to deter game modification. As the tools for attacking Unreal Engine games are publicly available and easy to use, this feature becomes an essential safeguard, offering an effortless yet robust defense against this vector.

“With the Unreal Engine Protection, we are creating new weapons for the gaming industry’s fight against hackers trying to do things with games that are not supposed to be done,” said Doug Lowther, Chief Executive Officer at Irdeto. “Our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in gaming security is exemplified by this first-to-market solution, enabling game developers and publishers to protect their creations with unparalleled ease.”

Integrity Verification
In addition to the Unreal Engine Protection, Denuvo by Irdeto is proud to unveil the Denuvo Integrity Verification feature which will bring more granular options to the Anti-Tamper product. This versatile feature empowers developers to verify the integrity of their own game code, safeguarding against both static and dynamic tampering.

The Integrity Verification feature ensures attackers are unable to alter the protected game code before startup or during gameplay, fortifying gaming studios against potential tampering threats. Its seamless integration capabilities and flexibility make it an invaluable asset for gaming studios, catering to various use cases where customers seek to protect their proprietary code.

“We understand the paramount importance of code security in the gaming industry,” said Lowther. “Our Integrity Verification feature offers an effortless and robust defense, empowering our customers with a powerful tool to protect their valuable code and maintain the integrity of their gaming experiences.”

Denuvo by Irdeto’s solutions have already garnered widespread adoption in the gaming industry, and customers can easily extend their protection to encompass the Unreal Engine and Integrity Verification features with no additional effort required.

It is getting harder and harder to cheat in our favorite games. This is just bullshit.

[cheatenginedead]

Will there be a way to bypass this? Like all the other anti cheats or is it too invasive that it can’t be bypassed?

[SunBeam]

What is the point of asking questions before this already existed? "Will it be possible to.. this and that?" We will find out then when we have an actual thing to work on.

Alot claim this but never go through with it, saying it is easier than doing it, and bragging about it is just targeting themselves as well.

Paid DLC, Pre orders, selling mods, micro transaction, and to top it off propagandizing the studio swj politics on games. The definition of greed, and sleaziness.

As long as people support their product, them they can get away with it.

They want to squeeze every penny out of you and that's the whole point selling even the trash. You own the game but you cannot do anything even offline. Thats the definition of greed is.

These guys allow to get exploited in many fronts being ok with games that propagandist and shave their own studio politics in products which exatcly what anti consumerism is, be from greed they allow to bee squeezed from every direction which is further anti consumerism.

Great news for the multiplayer community!

I doubt this would apply to single player games - they just won't sell.
It's a fantastic way to punish your customers that want a great single player experience though, if you ask me.
So, the same thing will happen as usual: people will just pick up the cracked versions from torrent sites and purchase only once the Denuvo crap has been removed (if ever).
Just have a look at what the presence of Denuvo did to sales, lol
It's been removed from most games since.
So, I would not worry at all.

Edit
I wonder if Denuvo will pick up dxvk as a cheat, lol

You're absolutely right. This is true.
