🎩 Tips and tricks:
Cap the frame rate/potentially improve frame times: Download RivaTuner Statistics Server (if you use MSI Afterburner, then you already have it installed), input your desired framerate limit in the "Framerate limit" box, and hit Enter . Alternatively, those with an Nvidia GPU can either cap the frame rate at the driver level via the Nvidia Control Panel (requires the 441.87+ drivers) or use Nvidia Inspector to force a vsync internal lower than one-half (click the small tool icon to open the game profile section).
Note: Useful if your system can't maintain, say, 60fps and you're sensitive to the wild fluctuations, or you're experiencing uneven frame times. The greater window the engine has to render a given frame, if you're imposing a lower frame rate than the game can otherwise provide, may also help in alleviating stuttering related to data streaming.
Fix washed out colours: Tweak your display settings. See this post for recommendations. (Credit to Paragon.)
Disable sharpening and/or cutscene letterboxing: Apply these patches to the game's executable. (Credit to jackfuste @ WSGF via disgraciau.)
Fix freeze upon interacting with the laptop in the main hall: Open SteamApps\common\RESIDENT EVIL 2 BIOHAZARD RE2\re2_config.ini and set UseVendorExtention to disable. (Credit to Valkerion.)
Disabling vignetting: Use this tool. (Credit to susahamat @ WSGF via The-Depth-In-Us.)
Remove 30fps cap on distant animations: Follow these instructions. (Credit to someone @ PCGW via Koklusz.)
