Latest version of Denuvo cracked — hacker boasts first victory over DRM protection

While Empress is on hiatus, other techno-enthusiasts are active. The protection for Total War: Three Kingdoms has finally been breached.

Players recently returned their attention to the grand strategy Total War: Three Kingdoms after hacker voices38 announced a compromise of Denuvo. He clarified that the exploited version is 1.7.1 and that all DLC are included.

The title itself isn’t new (the original release was back in 2019), but the notable detail here is the Denuvo crack — the hacker explained he studied his peers’ approaches:

«I devoted a lot of time to reverse‑engineering Denuvo and reviewing older “cracks” to understand how others had bypassed DRM, since it seemed no one else was paying attention. This is my first attempt.»
