I actually had this game installed on my steam library and run strings ‘DOOMEternalx64vk.exe’ | grep ‘denuvo’ before I update it. Turns out it did has denuvo_dl and denuvo_atd which is a telltale of the executable having denuvo drm. After installing the update, it no longer have them. Given the performance of the game, I didn’t expect it has denuvo.
Edit: just finished reading the article you linked. lmao
