Capcom rolls back Resident Evil Revelations update that caused performance problems and crashes as fans accuse it of trying to sneak in DRM in order to kill mod support

Capcom is facing accusations from fans that it's quietly adding new DRM to its older games on PC, in what appears to be an attempt to crack down on the use of mods. But the process went from "quiet" to "very noisy" after a recent update to Resident Evil Revelations caused slowdown and crashes, and prevented some mods from working. Shortly after the update went live Capcom rolled it back, but said it will be re-released once the problem is resolved.

The Resident Evil Revelations update went live on January 8, and users quickly began reporting a range of problems in its wake. That sparked a nasty backlash in the form of—you guessed it—more than 200 negative user reviews over the past few days.
