long story short, I bought FFXV long before I cared about Denuvo but never played it, the game got cracked but Square Enix still haven't removed Denuvo from the game on Steam; now I don't want to install Denuvo spyware, if I download the game from Steam, don't launch it, and just overwrite the .exe with the one from a repack, am I in the clear? would it work? I'd like to get the achievements, otherwise I'd just install a repack

i have a steam version of br3 and i also put on the fitgirl(?) release as a non steam game in library. i can play both but the profile for the fitgirl release is a different than the steam profile. if i move the fitgirl exe to the steam installed version it does not start. if i replace more files like dlls is crashes even harder. so from my experience: no

that doesn't sound encouraging ay all haha i'll try anyway, though it will be a while since the game is massive. thanks!
