Capcom‘s Onimusha: Way of the Sword game has reportedly been cracked by the group voices38, which claims its release also includes fixes for several technical issues affecting PC players. The development comes as Steam users report crashes during the initial loading process, with even high-end gaming PCs struggling to get past the game’s loading screen.
Several players have described crashes occurring at approximately 50% of the loading process, after selecting the difficulty level and control settings. One GeForce RTX 4090 owner reported repeatedly encountering the problem despite being able to run the game’s demo without issues. Another player using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, and 64GB of RAM reported similar crashes. Restoring the default graphics settings reportedly failed to resolve the issue.
Some players have managed to get past the loading screen by limiting the frame rate to 60 FPS, reinstalling the game, or using the NVIDIA App to optimize its graphics settings. However, these workarounds have not provided a consistent solution for everyone.
Meanwhile, the cracking group voices38 claims its version of Onimusha: Way of the Sword addresses the reported crashes. The group also reportedly bypassed multiple security mechanisms, including Denuvo Anti-Tamper, Steam protection, and Capcom’s own DRM measures. However, there is no independent confirmation that the included fixes resolve the loading problems across different PC configurations.
The situation raises questions about the game’s current PC build, particularly when users with powerful graphics cards are experiencing crashes before reaching gameplay. It remains unclear whether the issue is related to specific hardware configurations, graphics settings, or the game’s software itself. An official response or update from Capcom would help clarify the cause.
