New core 19-12900K and Denuvo DRM make some games unplayable

  • 0

I found this by gathering informations on the new Intel CPU models. With the use of a new technology of hybrid CPU (2 different kind of CPU are physically present inside the new Alder Lake CPUs), Denuvo DRM software can consider it is an hacking attempt, and crash the game or prevent it from launching.

More information and the list of games can be found in this link : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000088261/processors/intel-core-processors.html

What to note:

- the game list is different between Windows 10 and Windows 11

- there is an ongoing patch process, so this should be fixed sooner or later

- the Intel page talks about an available workaround (by using BIOS settings). Since I don't own one of these new CPUs, I can't tall if it works.

Hey, this is my first news on Alienware, so if I don't do things properly, please tell me so I can correct myself.
