SEGA and Two Point Studios have released a new hotfix for Two Point Hospital that removes the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Now this is a really clever move as the game has already been cracked. So instead of pissing its legitimate customers off, SEGA and Two Point Studios decided to do the most logical thing and remove Denuvo.
Alongside the removal of Denuvo, this hotfix fixes some crashes on boot, adds logging to help track down further crashes, fixes majority of load fail as well as various cases of bad data getting in to save files.
This hotfix is available on the beta branch and you can access it by following this guide.
- Right-click Two Point Hospital in your game library and select Properties.
- Select the BETAS tab.
- Choose twopointhospital_patch_beta from the drop-down menu.
- The build will start downloading.
We’ll make sure to test the Denuvo-free version of the game and see whether there are any performance or CPU usage differences between them.
Below you can find the complete changelog for this first hotfix for Two Point Hospital.
