11-year-old sport Resident Evil Revelations lately launched an replace that apparently launched DRM, solely to swiftly roll again the patch after complaints from gamers that it reportedly induced efficiency points. Capcom aren’t giving up that simply on their vow to crack down on mods, although.
The current replace to Resident Evil Revelations sparked a wave of feedback in its Steam boards about obvious efficiency issues, together with lowered framerate, stuttering and sudden drops, crashes, and mods not working. (Thanks, Eurogamer.)
As gamers dug into the shock patch, they appeared to search out references to Enigma Protector, a bit of DRM software program designed to cease the usage of mods and instruments corresponding to Cheat Engine.
The introduction of the anti-tampering instrument follows feedback made by builders throughout an inner Capcom presentation final yr that equated mods to cheats and expressed concern that some mods “offensive to public order and morals” might tarnish the corporate’s status – a fear little question fuelled by the looks of a unadorned Chun-Li mod at a Road Fighter 6 event over the summer time.

The introduction of DRM to a decade-plus-old sport on the obvious price of efficiency has, unsurprisingly, riled up gamers, who took to Revelations’ Steam web page and sent its recent reviews crashing right down to a “Principally Unfavorable” common.
Revelations isn’t the one Capcom sport to get the DRM remedy, both, it appears. Mega Man Battle Community Legacy Assortment noticed Enigma Protector swapped in for its earlier use of publisher-popular (and player-unpopular) DRM instrument Denuvo final yr, with the current Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective re-release additionally utilizing the anti-piracy tech. Resident Evil 5 and Road Fighter’s thirtieth Anniversary Assortment are additionally reported to be up to date with Enigma Protector, although Capcom are but to verify any modifications themselves.
Within the case of Revelations, at the least, the obvious hit to efficiency led Capcom to tug the patch a couple of days later, attributing the reversal to “a difficulty noticed with the newest replace” in a Steam blog. Nevertheless, they promised that the replace could be re-released as soon as the issues are solved, signalling that they haven’t given up the conflict on mods simply but.
