I was able to get it off US - Anchorage. Miami, Pittsburgh, and New York were all file not found.

Denuvo-less .exe for Devil May Cry 5 leaked, performance improvements noted (up to 20FPS boost in performance, or over 20%)

Nice, I'm crossing my fingers that it will be up in around 3ish hours when I'm home.
I hope this come from a rogue Capcom employee or something.
I wish Every company removes denuvo after a month out..

I genuinely don't see why their immediate next move wouldn't be to remove it from the official version now. It's been rendered pointless to have it in as soon as something like this happens.
Nevermind my Vivaldi was just set too strict; connected to the Steam console no prob via a different browser. The download worked fine and I replaced the .exe - seems like my 2500K @ 4,6GHz is indeed performing better without Denuvo outta there. Fuck this trash, especially in a game like this. Shame on you, Capcom.
Most denuvo games are cracked nowadays and lots of companies (like Square-Enix) don't bother to remove it.
That steamworks protection can be cracked like that *snaps fingers*
Someone hook me up with the exe, please. Was too late. :/

20FPS boost? Damn that sounds unbelievable, I will definitely check it out when I get back home on Monday.
Skimmed it and it looks like 7% is a more representative number. Even so, ANY performance hit is too much for paying consumers. If I lose even 1 Fps to DRM it's too goddamn much.
Also we can't forget that the denuvo less version has shorter loadings and steadier framepacing
So true. At 4K I'll take 1fps gains. Stupid Denuvo. Can't wait to put this exe file to the test after work.
well, if he uses a normal resolution on that PC it's probably 0%
while if someone used a slower CPU and maybe a different spot in the game they might have actually seen 20%.
If we didnt have Digital Foundry around to cover PC performance and settings this industry would be in the dumps.
Cant fucking believe the posts im reading defending denuvo.

Option 1) Capcom shareholder
Option 2) Ignorance
Option 3) Stupidity
While I'm sure this is true to some extent I've always assumed that a lot of it is just devil's advocacy for the idea that if some publishers are going to skip PC entirely without a proper (or at least an illusion of a proper) DRM solution to prevent piracy. I'm not sure I agree with that analysis, but I can kind of understand that more than a perspective of "drm is important otherwise literally every potential buyer will just pirate the game."

See this is why we can't have nice things
You PC gamers are the vilest pirates I ever seen in the history of piracy, both irl and online
Game of thrones and the walking dead pirates aren't this bad, at least they have honor , pride and dedication
You guys should be ashamed and Valve/Steam should be ashamed to conspire against such a glorious company such as Capcom, creators of the legendary title devil may cry 2, Breath of Fire VI, and Umbrella Corps.
Now because y'all pirates, jawmuncher will never get to experience Dino crisis remake or the 4th game that will become "Dino May Roar"
So disgusted with this behavior, at least console only fans have the dignity to buy our games

It would be a whole lot easier to stomach the situation if the people defending Denuvo would take that position. But the cycle always seems to always start out with flat out denial that Denuvo impacts performance, then anyone who tests it get their credibility questioned, then it's minimizing the impact of the performance hit, then it's just "you just don't like DRM because you want to pirate" type of implications start flying.
Overlord Gaming has a few videos testing Denuvo games before and after their removal, I hope he managed to hear about this whole situation and managed to grab the Denuvo free build to test out.
Fellas, I am having a crash when using the non denuvo exe, in the start screen, anyone has this issue and maybe the solution for it?
This is what annoys me, Ill buy their shit of they have to protect the first weeks of sales.
I understand that..but fucking lord, after like 6 months, delete denuvo from ur games, ur only damaging legit buyers.
At that point who wanted to download it, they already did or if they are going to pirate they not going to buy their game, and who wants to buy it, gets fucked.
Its like fuck the pirates, even if by that way u have to fk legit buyers...total no sense.
We need more evidences like this. Perhaps with enough evidence, someone can sue Denuvo and/or the publishers for breaching consumer protection laws or something.
Check further up this page/the DMC5 PC performance thread for the .exe
It's 7% if you playing at 480p.
In a real case scenario, they "noted no difference in performance whatsoever." Just like a user here on Resetera had found out.
with their CPU/GPU combo with their testing scene, doesn't mean that with a different combination (slower CPU, faster GPU, heavier CPU bound scene) it couldn't appear, the fact is that they managed to find a difference, meaning the code without Denuvo can be observed to run faster.
we usually also get the "it's the developer's fault for poor implementation" excuse even though basically every testable example we have shows it causes performance loss
for gaming the hit of that should be lower, also for the CPUs older than Skylake the next windows 10 version is going to have a different method to mitigate Spectre that is faster than the current one.
also you can disable those fixes with a reboot and get the full performance if you want, but it's not recommended
also they exist to make the system safer for the benefit of the user, unlike Denuvo.

Not surprised, wouldn't be the first time. But of course, to the Denuvo defense force, this case won't count either. I saw several people on the Steam forums defending it by saying "olololololol it's your own fault for being too poor to have a high-end system, it runs great for me!!!111"
I play on a 2080 ti, and the game is already locked at @4K60fps so I didn't expect any improvement but I was curious. So I turned off vsync and tried it, and there is a slight increase in fps but it was already above 100fps (M05), however, I noticed a few hitches that would suddenly drop my fps to the 30s for less than a sec (mostly during combat), and during the boss fight I got a "fatal error" saying Devil May Cry 5.exe has crashed, whether it was because the of the leaked .exe or not I'm not sure, but if the game runs fine for you I don't see the need to use the leaked .exe file.
Edit: So I reverted to the original .exe and I still got the same crash during the boss fight, I suspect it's due to my GPU being overclocked as this was a thing in RE2 as well.
