Background DLC Checks Drag Down Monster Hunter Wilds Performance on PC, Reddit Finds

Reddit user u/de_Tylmarande reports Monster Hunter Wilds PC runs worse due to a background DLC ownership check that adds CPU overhead; disabling the check with a mod reportedly boosts FPS from about 26 to 46 in a busy hub, with mid-range hardware most affected. Whether this is a bug or deliberate DRM is unclear, but Capcom has released performance patches without addressing this check; more optimizations are promised for 2026, and the mod may be released if Capcom doesn't fix the issue.

"New DRM Update Renders Monster Hunter Rise Unplayable on Steam Deck"

Capcom's latest update for Monster Hunter Rise on Steam has caused compatibility issues with the Steam Deck, with users attributing the problem to the addition of Enigma Protector, a new DRM software. The update removed Denuvo but introduced Enigma Protector, leading to performance issues and negative reviews from players. This change follows a similar issue with Resident Evil: Revelations, prompting Capcom to investigate the reported problems. The publisher has been incorporating Enigma Protector into its back catalog on Steam, potentially as a measure to restrict third-party mods in PC games.

"HP CEO Warns Customers: Using Non-Company Supplies a Risky Move"

HP CEO Enrique Lores stated that customers who don't use the company's supplies are a "bad investment," emphasizing the importance of protecting HP's intellectual property. HP has faced criticism for its ink subscription model and policy of preventing the use of third-party cartridges, with a class-action lawsuit alleging that a firmware update disabled printers using non-HP cartridges. Lores defended the company's actions, warning of potential issues and security risks associated with non-HP cartridges, while also expressing a long-term objective of making printing a subscription service. This stance aligns with previous statements from HP executives about "locking" customers into its products.

"PlayStation Users Lose Paid TV Shows in Massive Deletion"

Sony is set to delete TV shows, including popular Discovery programs, from PlayStation users' libraries, even if they have already purchased them. This move highlights the issue of digital rights management (DRM) and the fact that consumers do not truly own the digital content they buy.
