How to Play Devil May Cry 5 Without Denuvo
Denuvo free DMC 5! About 20 FPS improvement for me.
Purpose of this guide
The purpose of this guide is to make Devil May Cry 5 players who purchased on Steam have a better gaming experience without being disgusted by Denuvo.
I don’t support or encourage any piracy, so this guide will NOT provide any cloud disk, all the required files can be downloaded from Steam.
As long as you purchased Devil May Cry 5, you can follow this guide to play DMC 5 without Denuvo.
What happened?
The Denuvo free file was not cracked by anyone, but is provided by Capcom. :O
It should be related to the QA’s team.
A few hours after the game was released, there was a public branch on Steam, which was used by the QA team to ensure the game quality. (guess from the branch name)
This branch is not encrypted by Denuvo. Reasonably speaking, this branch should not be public.
Because the visibility of branch was public, the Denuvo free file we have.
Hours later, Capcom deleted this branch:

However, we still can download the Denuvo free file through Steam console.
