Is FG's repack of CODEX's FFXV release the one without Denuvo (unprotected demo .exe)?
Basically title.
Want to play this, but don’t want to install Denuvo shit. Unfortunately I bought it on Steam way before I cared about telemetry etc., and the game still has Denuvo as per Steam page. I read about the “leaked” unprotected .exe that was used to crack the game ahead of launch, just wondering if FG’s repack using CODEX’s release is the one based on that unprotected .exe so I can grab that to play and still have an untainted-by-Denuvo system.
Bonus question: once installed, can I just move the game into Steam’s appdata folder and get achievements support? that’d be pretty neat.
thanks in advance, pirates

Isn’t the whole point of cracks removing DRM? It has been a while since I played games containing Denuvo but I believe the cracks strip it out.
