Jedi Survivor sees 20-30 FPS gains on all PCs after Denuvo removal

[John Elden Ring]

When it was released, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was criticized for its performance on PC, but through various updates, Respawn has managed to significantly improve the game's performance. With the latest update, some players have already reported a significant improvement in performance, with 20 to 30 more frames per second, as shown by YouTuber Sky Knight Benchmark.

Nah, this is just placebo affect
I was told, denuvo doesn't effect fps

If I owned a dev/publishing company all my PC games would absolutely require an internet connection to cut down on piracy or to basically have zero piracy. I wouldn't use something like Denuvo because it hinders performance.

So you choose to use the most draconian method instead? Truly an icon era moment right there.

20fps. Ouch. Denuvo really is shit.

Under your own prompt you're supposed to be the head of a games company, not a console partisan.

But can we conclude its solely due to Denuvo? The patch also included further optimizations, basically they got the game out of Alpha. Because I have never seen such an FPS increase just by removing Denuvo.

Anyway, good thing it performs better now.

The patch was made to increase performance of the game…

Putting the increase in the sole reason of remove Denuvo is not correct.

This guy from some site said it correctly.

Whether Denuvo was the cause of Jedi Survivor’s framerate hitching depends on which of the hundreds of Reddit threads on the anti-piracy software you believe, but the important thing is that no Denuvo means you should be able to play Jedi Survivor offline now.

People are just pushing the narrative against the anti-piracy software without evidence.

People are, as usual, pushing a disingenuous narrative that only pirates are critical of Denuvo.

Reasonable DRM is fine and justified. Denuvo is not good DRM.

Denuvo is pretty much the most draconian method. It already turns single-player games into always online.

But can we conclude its solely due to Denuvo? The patch also included further optimizations, basically they got the game out of Alpha. Because I have never seen such an FPS increase just by removing Denuvo.

Maybe not as dramatic, but other games have gained performance improvement by removing Denuvo.

Common sense should dictate that adding threads with network latency to the mix is going to have a non-negligible performance cost.
