For Project CARS 2, the ElAmigos release solved a major headache: the Denuvo DRM. The official retail version requires periodic online reactivation. The ElAmigos v7.1.0.1 release bypasses this requirement entirely, allowing for offline, permanent access to the Deluxe content without launcher interference.
