Pirates claim Resident Evil 8 crack fixes performance problems

While some players had no problems with the performance of Resident Evil Village on PC, others have reported regular stuttering, especially when swarms of flies appear during boss fights and enemies grab the player to go in for a bite, as well as during cutscenes, when enemies die, and in the market area of the village. 

A pirated version of RE8 by cracker Empress claims to have fixed these problems by bypassing the Denuvo DRM. Empress’s notes on the crack say, “All in-game shutters like the one from when you kill a zombie are fixed because Capcom DRM’s enty [sic] points are patched out so most of their functions are never executed anymore” and “the worst is that their DRM was fully obfuscated in Denuvo’s VM making it run even slower.”
