I was excited to see Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition finally released DRM-free on GOG, but unfortunately, the game won’t even start on Windows 11. It suffers from the exact same issue as the Steam version, which has been widely reported by the community for years. I’m genuinely baffled that neither Capcom nor GOG took the time to patch or at least address these problems before releasing it under the “Good Old Games” banner (a label that usually means some care was taken to ensure older titles run smoothly on modern systems). Given that this game is now part of GOG’s preservation efforts, I expected better. I’ll hold off on requesting a refund for now, as I’m hopeful that GOG will take note of the growing number of reviews pointing out these issues and eventually release a fix. Until then, it’s sadly unplayable.
