Lego Batman Game Sparks Controversy
The upcoming Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight game has been Making headlines, and not all of them are positive. Developer TT Games and publisher Warner Bros. Games have added Denuvo, a controversial digital rights management (DRM) software, to the game. This move has sparked a backlash from PC players, who are worried about the software’s impact on the game’s performance.
Performance Concerns
Denuvo is often used by game developers to prevent piracy, but it has been known to cause issues with a game’s performance. In the case of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the game already has steep system requirements, including 16 GB of RAM. The addition of Denuvo has led some players to express their concerns about the game’s performance, with one player saying, “Oh well if they ever fix performance and remove Denuvo, I’ll buy it on a steep sale.” Another player added, “Bruh, the game already has INSANE system requirements. Now, Denuvo is gonna TANK performance even more.”
PC Requirements
The PC requirements for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight are already quite high, and the addition of Denuvo has only added to the concern. The game requires frame generation to be turned on just to achieve 30 fps, which is a significant demand on a player’s hardware. With Denuvo thrown into the mix, it’s likely that many players will struggle to run the game smoothly.
Past Disasters
This is not the first time that a Batman game has had issues on PC. The launch of Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015 was a disaster, and many fans are worried that Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will suffer the same fate. As one player commented, “Performance was already an issue with this game. This will surely help.”
Denuvo Workaround
There is some hope for players who are concerned about Denuvo, however. A Reddit user recently found a workaround for the software, which could potentially allow players to bypass it. This has led to speculation that all single-player, non-VR Denuvo games could be bypassed, although it’s unclear how this will affect Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
Launch Trailer
Despite the controversy surrounding the game, TT and Warner Bros. have released a launch trailer for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which features Seal’s iconic song “Kiss from a Rose”. The game is set to launch later this month, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
