It’s the bypass in question that falsifies validation data to the Denuvo DRM. It runs under the OS (Windows in this case), which gives it more permissions than your operating system itself. You have to disable a significant amount of your security, reboot, run your game with the HV bypass, reenable your security, reboot, and then you can use your PC normally again. Even if you trust the HV bypass software (and I don’t personally think that’s a good idea), you are still opening your machine up to attack. If you are perfect in your actions and very cautious you can minimize the risk, but slipping up could leave your PC compromised. It’s just too much risk.

Just a quick extra note, that people who have not completed up to a certain point in the MSQ are tagged with a little sprout next to their name, the only time I have ever seen people get a /kick was for hassling a sprout.

It is very solo-friendly. There are some story beats which require you use the dungeon finder, but it’s very painless and the community is supportive of first-timers, so there’s no stress.

I certainly hope Denuvo steps on something pointy, but there’s no way I’m installing an HV bypass on any machine.

Shadowbringers is the best expansion, if you want some high-quality writing it’s worth a play through. The prior two expansions (Heavensward and Stormblood) are also good, it’s just getting through ARR and the pre-HW story that is rough.

People should respect the boundaries set by their partners.

It is much, much larger than the dot com bubble.
