Denuvo Games — Borrowing Account

Denuvo is a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system used by some games. These games require an extra step — you must borrow the seller's Steam account to activate the Denuvo licence on your machine before you can play from your own account.

⚠ Denuvo games will NOT work without borrowing an account from your seller. You cannot skip this step.

How to Identify a Denuvo Game

In the ONENNABE Store tab, Denuvo games will be tagged with the Denuvo label on the game card.

Step-by-Step: Playing a Denuvo Game

  1. Find the game in the Store tab (check for Denuvo tag)
  2. Click the game card → click Enable Auto Update in ONENNABE
  3. Go to Steam and download the game normally
  4. Close Steam Unlock ONENNABE — do this before the next step
  5. Contact your seller (via TikTok, Shopee, or Discord) and ask to borrow the account for your game
  6. Switch Steam to the seller's account using the credentials they provide
  7. Launch the game and play until you reach the main menu
  8. Switch Steam back to your own account
  9. Launch and play from your own account — enjoy!

Important Rules

  • Close ONENNABE before switching accounts. If ONENNABE is open when you switch, the process may not work correctly.
  • You must reach the main menu on the seller's account — just launching the game is not enough. Denuvo requires a brief online validation session.
  • Do not leave the seller's account logged in after you are done. Switch back to your own account promptly.
  • Each account borrow has a session limit. Do not use the seller's account for anything other than launching the game to the main menu.

Exception — Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem cannot be played by switching back to your own account. This game must be played entirely from the seller's account in Steam Offline Mode.

  • Do NOT switch back to your own account for this game
  • Ask your seller for specific instructions on how to set up offline mode for this title

Troubleshooting

Game says "This game is not available" after switching back to my account
Make sure you completed the main menu step on the seller's account before switching back. If you did, try restarting Steam.

Game crashes or shows a Denuvo error on launch
The Denuvo session may have expired. Contact your seller to borrow the account again.

Seller's account not working / credentials incorrect
Contact your seller directly via the platform you purchased from (TikTok/Shopee chat or Discord DM).

I forgot to close ONENNABE before switching
Close ONENNABE now, switch accounts, launch the game to the main menu, then switch back and reopen ONENNABE.
