Resident Evil Village
On August 24, 2021, Capcom will release a new update for the PC version of Resident Evil Village, to further improve the game's performance. The Japanese publisher describes it on Twitter as a simple fix, actually, designed above all to solve a problem with some CPUs that seem to be unable to start the game. However, there will also be small revisions of some graphics processes, which will benefit everyone.The PC version of Resident Evil: Village has been plagued by performance issues since launch. The situation literally exploded when some hackers discovered that by removing the Denuvo protection system via crack, the performance improved enormously. Capcom has therefore run for cover by releasing a first fix update, which has actually improved the gaming experience on this platform, and now a second one.
