In February 2026, Capcom removed the notorious Denuvo DRM protection from the Resident Evil 4 remake (even though the game had been cracked several years earlier). However, that was not the end of the story.
The publisher added a custom anti-piracy protection system — The Enigma Protector, which also does not have a very good reputation.
Users began complaining about broken mods, and in some cases the Resident Evil 4 remake started performing worse. There are reports of a drop from 90-100 FPS to 50-60 frames.
