A recent update has caused Monster Hunter Rise to stop working on Steam Deck and its players are not thrilled about it. Capcom is aware of the issue and has tied it back to a recent update - Ver.16.0.2.0 - which was recently released for the game. However, some players and modders believe that a recent swap of DRM software may be to blame.
Capcom addressed the issues with Monster Hunter Rise on Steam Deck in a recent Steam Developer blog post this week. According to the post, which was added to the original patch notes, Capcom is aware that the current patch is messing with the game on Steam’s handheld platform:
While Capcom seems to be mum on the exact cause of the issues which are hindering the game from being played on Steam Deck, many users have already begun to suspect DRM is the issue. According to modder FluffyQuack, one of the things that Capcom did in the recent Monster Hunter Rise update was take out Denuvo DRM and replace it with another anti-piracy software, Enigma. Twitter users also pointed out that Capcom has done this with other older titles such as Resident Evil: Revelations, but the update was pulled back almost immediately.
Regardless, players seem convinced that Enigma DRM is to blame for Monster Hunter Rise’s sudden issues on Steam Deck. As we await a solution from Capcom on the situation, stay tuned for further updates on this story.
