‘Monster Hunter Rise’ stops running on Steam Deck following anti-piracy update
In January 2024, Capcom updated Monster Hunter Rise, replacing the Denuvo anti-piracy software with Enigma Protector. This change caused the game to become unplayable on the Steam Deck, as reported by users on platforms like Reddit. Despite attempts to resolve the issue by uninstalling mods or reinstalling the game, players were unable to launch it on the Steam Deck. This incident highlights the potential compatibility challenges that can arise from implementing new digital rights management (DRM) systems. (NME)
