After yesterdays Ubisoft story that broke the news Ubisoft now answers that the AC Origins DRM On PC would have No “Perceptible Effect” On Game Performance.

I needed to actually read that twice, “Perceptible Effect”. So basically they say you cannot see the effect, but they are not denying it's creating an effect either eh? Yesterday we reported that game crackers found out that Ubisoft has implemented VMProtect on top of Denuvo, causing viral behavior on the processor. Especially quad-core processors are hit very hard with an additional 40% CPU usage recorded purely due to the DRM layer.

“We’re confirming that the anti-tamper solutions implemented in the Windows PC version of Assassin’s Creed Origins have no perceptible effect on game performance, ” said Ubisoft in an official statement. “In order to recreate a living, systemic and majestic open world of Ancient Egypt, where players can witness all of its stunning details, its beautiful landscapes & incredible cities, in a completely seamless way with no loading screens, Assassin’s Creed Origins uses the full extent of the minimum and recommended PC system requirements here, while ensuring a steady 30 FPS performance. We’re committed  to ensuring the most optimum experience possible for everyone, and we advise any players who may encounter performance issues on PC to check out support.ubi.com as there might be already a workaround or to contact us further explaining their issues so that we can solve them.”

Unfortunately, Ubisoft does not back up their statement with some sort of evidence. Not that we are promoting it at all, but the crack group actually did a far better job at that.
