Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword game has been cracked, but interestingly, it also includes a series of bug fixes applied by a popular game cracking group. Players have taken to the Steam forums to report crashes in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, with even high-end PCs failing to get past the initial loading screen.
One Ge Force RTX 4090 owner mentioned that the game consistently crashed at 50% loading after selecting the difficulty and controls, despite having no issues with the demo. Another user reported similar crashes with a Ge Force RTX 5090, Core Ultra 9 285K, and 64 GB of memory, adding that restoring the default graphics settings did not help.
Some players managed to get into the game by temporarily capping performance at 60 FPS, reinstalling it, or using the NVIDIA App to optimize settings. However, the popular game cracking group "voices38" claims to have resolved the crashes in their distribution of the game, although the threads provide no testing to verify that claim. The group managed to bypass Denuvo Anti-Tamper, Steam, and Capcom's own DRM protection mechanisms, demonstrating that game cracks are now bypassing multiple security layers and bundling game fixes with the cracked version before the publisher even releases an official patch.
Finally, we want to clarify that Tech Power Up does not support piracy. There are dedicated people working hard to bring this game to everyone. Game studios and publishers employ thousands of developers who pour effort into creating these games, and piracy is not the answer. We are sharing this information purely as news content.
