Usually, high-priced port updates on mobile devices are a good thing for optimization or compatibility reasons, but Capcom’s latest update rolled out an hour ago Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil (free), Resident Evil 4 Remastered (free), and Resident Evil Village (Free) Added online DRM on iOS and iPadOS to check your purchase history when you launch the game. This will check if you own the game or DLC and then proceed to the title screen. If you click “No” the game will close. If you’re connected to the internet, it will take a few seconds to resume the save, but you won’t be able to launch any of the three games and play offline. You will need to check your purchase online when launching the game. This is unfortunate, and frankly, it sucks, because games are now even worse with online DRM than they used to be that can be played and launched offline.
I tested all three games before the update and verified that they did launch and work offline with the update prior to today. With today’s update, you’ll see the alert above or something similar and click “No” to close the game. If that doesn’t matter to you, that’s fine, but I don’t like online DRM patches like this being added to games that people have paid for before. Hopefully Capcom can find a better solution for checking purchases, or do it once in a while instead of every time it releases. Things like this make it harder to recommend Capcom’s high-priced ports.
