Asian studios being Denuvo bootlickers as usual. Stack that on UE5, the frames are gonna be dancing on your screen

I've been trying to get this to work for days now and can't find anything centered to help me.

I'm using Fedora KDE with a Ryzen 5 5600 for a few months and lately found out that denuvo bypass on linux is allegedly more simple and secure than on windows. But I can't find information on how to do it.

Some guides point me to files and terminal commands, but some threads point me to just "do this" and it will work. But, as a beginner on Fedora [about 6 months of main SO use] I'm pretty lost.

Can someone point me to something that could help me with this?

Step 1: Base CachyOS Setup
Grab the latest CachyOS ISO from the official site and flash it to a USB using Ventoy or BalenaEtcher.

Reboot into CachyOS and run a full system update:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Disable UMIP in Your Bootloader

Option A: systemd-boot (Default on CachyOS)

sudo micro /etc/sdboot-manage.conf or 
sudo nano /etc/sdboot-manage.conf

Locate the line starting with LINUX_OPTIONS=. Add clearcpuid=514 at the very end inside the quotes.

Example

LINUX_OPTIONS="quiet splash rw clearcpuid=514"

Apply the updated config to your boot entry:

sudo sdboot-manage gen

Option B: GRUB Bootloader

sudo micro /etc/default/grub or 
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Locate the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=. Add clearcpuid=514 at the very end inside the quotes.

Example:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet splash clearcpuid=514"

Regenerate your GRUB configuration file:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Verify UMIP is Disabled

sudo reboot

Once booted back in, run this command in your terminal:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "umip"

Step 3: Install the Patched Proton Compatibility Tool

Create Steam's custom compatibility tools directory if it doesn't already exist:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d

Download your patched Proton build tarball (e.g., Proton-GE11-1-LinUwUx.tar.gz or cachyos_11.0_20260702-LinUwUx.tar.xz

Extract it via terminal (do NOT use GUI extractors they can drop empty directories needed by Wine):

tar -xf ~/Downloads/cachyos_11.0_20260702-LinUwUx.tar.xz -C ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/

Step 4: Configure Game Files & Crack

Find DenuvOwO.ini or Reflex.ini in the game folder and open it with a text editor:

Locate AutoLoad and AutoLoadHV and set both to false:

AutoLoad=false
AutoLoadHV=false

his stops the crack from trying to load Windows-native hypervisor drivers inside Wine, which will crash the game on Linux

Step 5: Launching the Game

1. Open Steam.
2. Go to Games >Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library...
3. Browse to your game folder, select the primary .exe, and click Add Selected Programs.
4. Right-click the game in your Steam Library > Properties > Compatibility.
5. Check Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and select CachyOS-LinUwUx from the dropdown menu.
6. Hit Play.

Enjoy gaming on Linux without Windows telemetry holding you back.

Here is my list of Denuvo-protected games that I want voices38 to crack. Sega/Atlus always have that Denuvo wall of protection up; it's time to breach and break through it. Do you guys have any requests for Denuvo games to be cracked? Let me know in the comments.
