Frequently asked questions

Can Denuvo Anti-Cheat detect cheaters and report them back to me?

Yes, the solution transparently detects cheaters and gives you a real-time view of the cheat data. You also get access to a cloud-based web application that provides configuration, monitoring and investigation tools.

Is anti-tamper difficult to apply?

Quite the opposite – Denuvo Anti-Tamper plugs into the build pipeline with no modifications made to a game’s source code. You can easily add protection before your game is released and it can co-exist with any additional security solutions you choose to have.

Does anti-tamper technology cause performance issues and high CPU usage?

No, there’s no in-game performance impact caused by the addition of anti-tamper. Using anti-tamper technology actually preserves the quality of the game and overall user experience.

Will anti-tamper work with the latest version of the platform that I’m using to develop my game?

Yes, Denuvo Anti-Tamper supports a broad range of platforms to provide a high level of compatibility. We test every game title for compatibility with our technology, even for very old devices.

Is there an activation limit for games using anti-tamper?

Yes, to prevent brute-force attacks on the games, there is a limit to the number of activations allowed in each period – it is 5 systems within 24 hours, which should not impact legitimate customers.
