Monster Hunter Rise Fails to Run on Steam Deck Following Capcom's DRM Update

Capcom's switch to Enigma Protector DRM in an update has led to performance issues, with users reporting the game no longer launching on Steam Deck.

Capcom's recent update to Monster Hunter Rise, replacing Denuvo anti-piracy software with Enigma Protector DRM, has caused the game to stop running on Steam Deck.
Enigma Protector DRM has previously caused performance issues in other games, leading Capcom to revert updates in titles like Resident Evil Revelations.
Users on social media platforms and Reddit have reported that the game won't launch on Steam Deck, even when all mods are uninstalled.
Capcom's decision to implement Enigma DRM is speculated to be part of an effort to crack down on the use of mods, which the company believes can cause 'reputational damage' to games.
Capcom has acknowledged the issue and stated that the development team is currently investigating.
