"New DRM Update Renders Monster Hunter Rise Unplayable on Steam Deck"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Polygon
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.
