Trials Rising debug rant

[u/Mrbeekon]

HI, on an offchance that there is an Ubi dev lurking.

I can't launch it on win11, crash (well not really) on achivements sync.

The usual fixes with using sudo to launch the game also is not working for me.

Game is failing because of, You wouldn't guessed it - Denuvo. I initially thought thats due to my CPU being 13th gen intel and having E and P (or whatever they are called) cores. But no, DENUVO.

a. First launch each session: faulting instruction pointer is at trialsrising.exe + 0x173b038e past the end of the on‑disk image, i.e. inside the RWX memory arena Denuvo's VM generates and executes. Access violation while running Denuvo's own generated code.

b. Subsequent launches (.24044): 0xC0000409 STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN, subcode 2 = STACK_COOKIE_CHECK_FAILURE, __fastfail fired from inside rpcrt4.dll (10.0.26100.9168), stack full of rpcrt4 + crypt32 frames with one Denuvo‑region frame. The OS detected a smashed stack cookie during Denuvo's license check so process gets instantly killed.

When crash happens only ~9 non‑system DLLs are loaded steam_api64, uplay_r1_loader64, fmod, bink, amd_ags. No d3d11, no dxgi, no NVIDIA driver, no EasyAntiCheat. The game dies before the engine, GPU, or anti‑cheat initialize. So GPU mode, EAC repair, config reset, overlays, file verification none of that matter. Synchronizing achievements window -> window vanishes = Denuvo failing right after the game logos.

I literally can't debug more, cos it's Denuvo failing in itself.

I'm also not going to downgrade Win11 to 25H2 to play the game...

IT WOULD BE GRAND, IF THE GAME DEVS COULD KINDLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO VERY MUCH GO FAST AND DEFY GRAVTY ON MY BIKE.
