Capcom says it’s currently looking into Resident Evil Village’s reported PC performance issues. Digital Foundry confirms previous reports that a pirated version without the digital rights management from Capcom does not suffer from hitches.
In a short update PC Gamer cites a Capcom spokesperson who says the game company is investigating the reports. Further details on this are still unknown. For example, it remains unclear what Capcom will do about the problem of stutters and hitches in the official version of Resident Evil Village and when the company will come up with a solution for those problems.
Several days ago, there were mixed reports from PC gamers regarding Resident Evil Village’s performance. Some were not bothered by anything, while others were regularly dealing with stuttering and slumping framerates. This would occur during movies, in the market part of the village, but also during boss fights if, for example, many flies come into view.
Empress, a player known for removing DRM from games, put a cracked version of Resident Evil Village online. She attributes the performance issues to the DRM deployed by Capcom, specifically Denuvo V11 and Capcom’s anti-tamper V3, wrote Dark Side of Gaming earlier. According to her, all stutters in her version have disappeared, because the DRM has been patched out. Digital Foundry confirms that the cracked version largely solves the problems.
