Rise of the Monster Hunters, the sixth mainline entry in Capcom’s creature-killing action RPG, is now available on Steam Deck. It appears that the game simply stopped launching after the company replaced its old Digital Rights Management (DRM) software with a new one. This sucks, but Capcom is investigating the issue.

DRM is quite controversial in the PC gaming space. Basically, it is designed to combat piracy and other illegal methods of obtaining copyrighted works. In practice, however, DRM tends to attack the software running a game, as if the same magnetic poles were repelling each other. That’s what happened to me Resident Evil: Revelationsas Capcom recently added DRM to the 2012 game It reportedly caused a lot of performance issueswhich causes the studio to do this turn that back immediately what the game was like Review bombed.
Now the same thing happened Rise of the Monster Hunters. In a Steam update released on January 22ndCapcom said that “some system data will be updated.” Although the company did not clarify what this meant, VGC reported (via Mud FluffyQuack), which the company replaced Rise of the Monster HuntersDenuvo DRM technology with Enigma Protector DRM, the same software that broke Revelations.
As X/Twitter user _flowerworks_ demonstrates in the video above, Rise of the Monster Hunters It just won’t start on Steam Deck anymore. Other people in the official subreddit too posted about the game Now that Capcom has it, it’s unplayable Denuvo replaced by Enigma Protector.
Capcom is aware of this Rise of the Monster Hunters is now broken, Published on the game’s Steam store page that the development team is “investigating” the issue.
“There have been reports of the game not running on Steam Deck after updating to version 16.0.2.0,” Capcom said. “The team is currently investigating this issue. We will let you know as soon as we find out more. Therefore, please wait for further information.”
My city I’ve reached out to Capcom for comment.

That’s a shame, but it shouldn’t be too surprising. In October 2023, Capcom said during an R&D presentation that game mods are the same as cheating. Since DRM curbs not only the illegal acquisition but also the manipulation of games, and given the fact that mods manipulate a game’s files, the company would naturally do everything in its power to prevent people from using all of them Tinker with Capcom games using any means. That doesn’t make it okay, especially if the software breaks a game.
