The update added a new DRM to the survival horror game that many players caused performance issues, broken mods, and more.
After facing a fair bit of criticism from players, Capcom has rolled back its recent update for the PC version of Resident Evil Revelations. The update added a new DRM to the title, dubbed Enigma Protector. Since the original release of the update, Resident Evil Revelations has seen quite a few negative reviews on Steam.
The DRM has seemingly caused performance of the game to have worsened, with players reporting errors, reduced frame rates, and mods having broken. Capcom released a statement on Steam announcing that it is reverting the update.

Capcom has update quite a few of its titles with the Enigma Protector DRM, including more recent PC releases like Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
