An unknown group of hackers has managed to breach the latest version of Denuvo anti-piracy protection in Total War: Three Kingdoms. As reported by DSO Gaming, the hackers took a week to overcome it.
Total War: Three Kingdoms received patch 1.1.0 about a week ago. With this update, its protection system was upgraded to version 6.0. After breaching it, the hackers declared Denuvo protection dead, but didn't specify what that meant. DSO Gaming's authors speculated that the attackers found a way to hack any Denuvo versions, but currently, there are still many games that remain unbreached.
Whether SEGA will remove the protection from Total War: Three Kingdoms remains unknown. Previously, several publishers discontinued its use in , and other projects.
At the end of December 2018, the authors of the Overload Gaming channel a detailed investigation into Denuvo protection and found that it increases loading times. It also causes image latency from 100 to 400 ms instead of the standard rate of 16.67 ms.
