The Steam store page also failed to mention the online requirement. Users were surprised to learn that Sonic Mania required an online connection to play despite the game being entirely offline.
While many were surprised by the wait, after the PC release many believed they had a good idea why. The announcement of the delay came just four days before the planned August 15th release date. Sonic Mania was released on the PC on August 29th following a two week delay from the console versions. Denuvo’s DRM requires an online connection to play the game, regardless of whether the game has online functionality or not. Denuvo is the anti-tampering DRM measure to prevent piracy. It took just eight days for Sonic Mania to be cracked. After many high profile quick crackings this year, another game has had Denuvo successfully removed. Legitimate owners of Sonic Mania have posted numerous issues on the Steam forums and Voksi claims that almost all of them are caused because SEGA rushed the new denuvo implementation and didn’t test it properly.Denuvo, the integrated anti-piracy DRM, doesn’t have the same staying power as it once did.
Voksi stated that he encountered the same issue while trying to crack the game, so it appears that Denuvo is causing these loop issues too. Some users also claimed that they can’t get past the menu screen. The slowdown, Voksi claimed, is caused by a trigger in the time attack menu when players scroll down till the last levels, which is not closed properly and causes Denuvo to continue writing in its section until the game is closed, which causes massive game slowdown. Voksi, best known for his Denuvo cracks, has detailed the major issues that currently affect Sonic Mania.Īccording to reports, the latest version of Sonic Mania runs slower than its previous version and as Voksi claimed, this is due to Denuvo.
However, it appears that SEGA did not test it properly as this rushed Denuvo implementation causes many issues to legitimate owners of Sonic Mania. SEGA has released a new update for Sonic Mania that features a new version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
