There's also a growing body of YouTube videos showing quad-core CPUs being maxed out or pushed hard while playing the game (though particular settings and CPUs used seem to affect things heavily). The game's Steam forums are full of anecdotal complaints about the game's high CPU usage, including reports of stuttering and reduced frame rates due to frequent CPU bottlenecks. It’s anti-consumer and a disgusting move." In a Reddit thread, Voksi further detailed how breakpoint debugging of the code showed VMProtect's code being "called non-stop" in the game's core control loop. Voksi alleges that Origins uses VMProtect's virtualization protection, which "tank the game’s performance by 30-40%, demanding that people have a more expensive CPU to play the game properly, only because of the DRM. As the VMProtect webpage explains, its software protects crucial game code from cracking via mutation (i.e., obfuscating code with "garbage" commands and misdirected jumps) and virtualization (i.e., running the code in a self-contained "non-standard" virtual machine that is harder to analyze and modify). Further Reading Denuvo’s DRM now being cracked within hours of releaseThe explosive accusation comes from noted game cracker Voksi, who tells TorrentFreak that an analysis of Origins' binaries shows the game adds a protection method called VMProtect on top of well-known (and now easily cracked) Denuvo DRM.
