Recently, the hacker voices38 was able to crack Denuvo in Total War Three Kingdoms. Developers unexpectedly returned to the game and introduced a patch.
The previous update for Total War Three Kingdoms was released several years ago. The developers stated that they "fixed a hardware compatibility issue that caused some users to experience long loading times."
Some players have a theory that, in addition to this fix, the Denuvo version was also updated. There have also been reports of mods breaking.
