Idle Master Discontinued

Yeah saw that. As long as it works to give me card drops, I don't really care about support. Even the older version of this program works just fine to get card drops.

Call me noob.
But why do we need a third party program? Can't we simply run the game and let it idle in background?

Does the Idle master do anything different?

^^ for idling game through idlemaster doesn't need installation of games. And it runs in background with minimal usages of RAM and processor.

Whoa!

I use to think its useless. But I don't need card drops. -_-

Idlemaster is awesome for card drops, Most of my games I have got drops using Idlemaster. I really wish that it would run on linux but unfortunately it doesn't which saddens me.

 

[sohan_92]

^^ it runs on Linux. Just install required libraries and run the program.

Would it run for games which are not for linux as well ??

Any game. Works even if game not supported on the current OS you use.

Yeah saw that after running it on Linux.

Have anyone seen extra writes on your ssd due to denuvo? (RoTR, Hitman beta, JC3, fifa16, etc)

How did you notice that?

But I'm not surprised, though.

Samsung magician keeps track of bytes written. And you can compare between long game sessions.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on that. Interesting to see.

I may be wrong though. That's why I asked others if they have seen such behaviour.

I don't really see why they are doing this Denuvo things when they know that it will be broken one or another in a few weeks to month. They are just troubling their legit consumer base.

When and if it does, I'm sure they will have a Plan B. Piracy is a ***** and anything to prevent that, I'm for.

On the contrary they say that pc game cracking will become impossible by 2018. (Google it)

Pros of this: console exclusives will come to pc. ( hell yeah finally )
Cons: DRM and possibly performance killer. ( I still dream GOG taking over the game distribution world)

China team of hackers 3DM gave up cracking for a year ever since they released denuvo. They say that it takes around a month to crack denuvo and publishers claim that major sales already happen by 1 month, so it serves its purpose.

Denuvo constantly generates 64bit encryption keys for the game exe itself, leading to prevention of tampering of the exe. Hence you need a dynamic crack. Also possibly this dynamic key generation contributing to excess writes to drive?
