Wow...
This is what Capcom is willing to invest into fucking their customers.

Just in case you were wondering why the game still doesn't work for some MH fans.

@Curvin
I fell in love with MH.
That's why I'm sperging about this so much.

@LukeAlmighty There are even worse solutions. VMProtect is one of them. It essentially creates a custom instruction set and an accompanying VM for it for emulation and runs that on top of x86_64. Denuvo uses it for I think. That's the main reason why bad Denuvo implementations run like shit on powerful hardware.

@phnt
I am not an expert, but some hacker said, that it's a "packer", and described pretty much that.

But I have no idea what a "packer" is. -_-

@LukeAlmighty Packers usually mean software that compresses the binary itself, effectively also obfuscating text included in it. A great example of a packer for binaries is UPX. The binary can be run without any decompression beforehand. Some other things can of course be added to it, creating an anti-piracy solution.

@LukeAlmighty I just added it as a source, so it doesn't seem like I'm pulling information from thin air.

@sjw
Capcom removed Denuvo, and added Enigma protector instead.

At first it was assumed, that they did so because of war on modding, but it seems, that they just switched to a cheaper stuff once license ran out.

Now, the important part:
It broke the game completely for some users, and didn't communicate at all, so it obviously turned into a huge PR disaster and the Monster Hunter rise literally lost 25% of players in a single day.

@sjw @LukeAlmighty dont worry the jannies will just mark it as off topic behavior and bail them back to positive
