Capcom has released a new patch for Monster Hunter Rise after rolling out an update yesterday that not only introduced a new form of DRM, but inadvertently prevented the game from running on Steam Deck devices. The patch notes for Ver.16.0.2.0, which Capcom published yesterday, did not mention anything about the new DRM, which is dubbed “Enigma.”
Original patch notes:

Game description:
Rise to the challenge and join the hunt! In Monster Hunter Rise, the latest installment in the award-winning and top-selling Monster Hunter series, you’ll become a hunter, explore brand new maps and use a variety of weapons to take down fearsome monsters as part of an all-new storyline.
Recent reviews:
- “I love this game, but… Capcom installed post launch DRM on Jan 22, 2024 and now the game won’t work on steam deck. I bought it to play on steam deck. They changed it after taking my money. That’s not fair. :)”
- “This review will stay negative until Capcom comes forward and retracts trying to use DRM for games that we already own and damage performance and mod use.”
- “terrible scam Enigma DRM has been added, otherwise good game”
