: In the original release, players reported severe frame drops when killing enemies or during specific animations (like daughters of Lady Dimitrescu appearing). The EMPRESS NFO (release notes) claimed these stutters were caused by Capcom's own DRM implementation interacting poorly with Denuvo.
Prior to 2021, the PC cracking scene was a fractured coalition of groups (CPY, CODEX, RELOADED). When CODEX disbanded, a void appeared. Into that void stepped a single, shadowy operator known only as EMPRESS—an individual who claimed to be a woman in a heavily male-dominated scene, operating alone, without a team.
In response to the crack occurring only three months post-launch (compared to the usual 6-12 months), Capcom signed an exclusive deal with Denuvo for a new variant known as "Denuvo 2.0 coupled with Enigma Protector." This made subsequent games like Monster Hunter Rise considerably harder to crack (remaining unbroken for over a year).
