Resident Evil 2 (2019) PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
This is so wild though. First case where i actually have to increase detail to make it smoother lol (and by a lot)
The half-fps animations for npcs thing seems to be more noticeable in games recently. Hitman 2's pre-release footage also had it, though the final game fixed it up, at least on PC. Wonder if the final build of RE2 also sorts that out.
Medium gave me a significant boost on a 2080 and I couldn't tell the difference much. High seems like it's not worth it for the performance hit and I *think* the digital foundry overview said basically the same thing
How do I launch a game in directx 11 instead of 12? Sorry if it's a dumb question I'm more of a console guy but I want the best possible graphics here
Just change it in the settings?
I can't remember if the demo has a launcher (a menu/screen you see before the game boots) but at worst you'll just pick DX11 and have to quickly restart.
I cant find a definitive reply-any way to get rid of those terrible "sparkling" reflections? Same shit happens in Re7 im guessing its an engine issue.
It's been an engine bug there since RE7. Apparently in that game the only way to fix it was to turn Reflections off or to Variable.
Damn, and in Re2 demo theres no variable, only OFF. Pretty shit if so :/
Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was an option, thought maybe it had to be done somehow else? Oh well, look forward to checking this out.
Dunno what I'm doing wrong but the PS4 pro version is pretty much mopping the floor with my GTX970, unless I play in 1080p only
Man do I hope that they add an option to turn that off. I hate when games do that, it looks awful (to me).
Same. I didn't notice it in the demo but it feels hardly necessary in a game that probably won't have any vistas so great it requires memory optimization to that fine a degree.
I don't know though. Maybe it's the sort of thing someone could make a tweak or mod for.
Is your audio delayed or distorted? I'm getting some really bady audio lag, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Nope. It's just that the sound card won't down mix properly. Sending digital audio over my NV GPU and feeding it into my headphones via the monitors stereo output works great, but I wondering how to get my sound card to work.
Edit: Turning on Windows Sonic in sound options fixed it.

Finally got around to playing through this and I was pretty impressed.
My specs:
GTX 1080
i5-4690K @ 4.5GHz
16GB DDR3 RAM
2560x1440 144Hz G-sync monitor
Game installed to a 7200RPM HDD
I had everything maxed out (except for render scale which I left at 100%) and the game ran really well for me. I left the FPS counter on but I kinda forgot to look at it because I got pretty into the game. There were a couple of noticeable hitches when I approached the roller door and the game dropped to around 45 FPS when those two zombies came around the corner in the flooded hallway. Apart from that stuff it was totally smooth and felt really good.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that those are bugged it showed like 4GB to me but in GPUZ it was only using like 1500MB...
Hey everyone, I was getting up to 121fps in the first area with a i5 4690k and RTX 2070. Switched my 4690k with a 4790k and am getting 80-90fps in that same area...WTF!
Other games I tested had huge jumps, Gears 4 benchmark went from the low 90s to 120s so I have not clue what the deal is here with Resident Evil 2..

How far are we talking here? Didn't notice in the demo.
At least on PC for me, the most obvious zombie that does that is the one trying to break into the vending machine after you climb through the window in the hallway.
Nope I actually had it at 150 percent res scale and forgot! Moved it to 100 and my FPS Was way higher
Major selected publication in North America and in Europe have received the review copies and some sources say that reviews of Resident Evil 2: Remake should be out on Tuesday 8:00AM Pacific Time – January 22.
I haven't tried the demo and won't have time for quite a while, but in case anyone has similar specs to me I'd be curious to know how the game runs on the following: i5 4690, GTX 970, 8gb DDR3 RAM. I'd be playing at 1080p, for what it's worth.
I wonder if it would be improved on an Xbox One X (higher resolution obviously, but my TV is still 1080p). If the trade-off between the two would be small, I'll go with PC for future-proofing of course (probably do that anyway).

Has there been any indication when keys are being sent out? Pre-ordered on Voidu a while back, still waiting for it.
I have a similar setup (4670K OC to 4.2, 970 Gaming G1 and 32Gb RAM) and got 1080p@60fps most of the time, with everything on high but volumetric lighting on medium.
I want to compare the graphics with my X and PRO, but but haven't bothered to reset the timer yet. I will probably go PC too.
Uncensored version of the game comes with Japanese voices at least, didn't check if there was JPN text.
If you pre-purchased the game on GMG, they sent my Deluxe key like three hours ago. I have it already activated on Steam but I won't be able to pre-load it until tomorrow afternoon because i'm outside on holiday.

Thanks JaseC thats the one I'm going to get, however it will probably still be cencored like the way RE7 CERO Z ver. was

Ah, right. If you have PayPal, I can send you a gift copy of the international version.
Late edit: Alternatively, you can pick up a key from CD Keys or wherever and activate it with a VPN (you'll be able to play the game without the VPN).

late reply, but the 970 isn't a good card for beyond 1080p due to it's limited VRAM, 3.5GB's & all, it was a Console killer in 2014 & so good for it's price, but yeah you had to spend that extra to get the 980 for 1440p/4K, sneaky ol Nvidia.
You might have to sacrifice texture resolution for beyond 1080p.
Forgive my ignorance but has it always been this common for Japanese versions of games to be censored? I remember back in the 90s, it was more common for the western versions of Japanese games to censor out things like blood and guts where they would still be present in the Japanese version. (I think Final Fantasy 8 had a few scenes like this.) What changed?
Is it not possible to do this via the Steam app on your phone? I typically don't pre-order games, so I don't know whether that option works for pre-loading them.
Only if your computer is turned on and Steam is running with your account. In that way you can manage your library from your phone (game downloads)
I have no rush anyway. My home has 100 mbits optic fiber.
I'm getting stuttering even in the menus for some reason. I've got a gtx 1060, Core i5-6500, 16gb ram, windows 8.1 on DX11. It can reach 60-90 fps, but there's always a random 10 frame dip that randomly shows up when I turn corners or go up stairs or anywhere. Doesn't go away even when I set all the settings to low and cap at 60fps. No other games I've played experience this so I'm really stumped.
Maybe I should upgrade to Windows 10 and test out DX12? It's just so weird.
