Dead Rising 3 Steam/PC FAQ (Updated Oct. 22nd)

[WBacon]

Q: How can I unlock the frame rate?
A: Create a “user.ini” file which contains a single line; “gmpcr_unlock_frame_rate = True” (no quotes) and place it in the same folder as deadrising3.exe before running the game. Please note this is not an officially supported feature of the game.

Q: Does Dead Rising 3 support SLI / Crossfire?
While this can benefit some games, DR3 PC does not make use of dual-GPUs. If your system is set to force dual-GPU usage when playing games, you can expect to see lower frame rates when compared to not forcing this setting.

Q. I can't find the "Untold Stories" DLCs in the title menu. What's going on?
A. Make sure you have the DLC checkbox populated in the title property menu. Simply right-click on Dead Rising 3 from your Steam library list, select Properties, and then click the DLC tab. Ensure DLC 1~4 is all checked and then restart the game. Voila!

Q. How big is the download?
A. Per the system requirements section, the payload will be around 30GB for the base game. With the free Untold Stories add-on DLCs, full download is now up to 33GB.

Q. What resolutions are supported?
A. The game supports any resolution supported by Windows Desktop.

Q: Does the game support multi-monitor?
A. The PC release does not support multiple screens.

Q. What graphics options are included in this release?
A. The game includes popular options such as V-sync, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, DOF, texture quality, shadow quality, model quality, subsurface scattering, and more.

Q. How customizable is the keyboard and mouse?
A. You can modify key mapping, mouse sensitivity, and X/Y axis direction.

Q. Is there any additional content for the PC version?
A. The PC release includes the original Xbox One game plus the four additional DLC episodes, "Untold Stories of Los Perdidos," free of charge!

Q. What Steamworks features are included?
A. The PC release includes a suite of Steamworks features including Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud save, online co-op, Trading Cards, and Leaderboards. Achievements are based on the Xbox One version, including DLC-specific ones.

Q. What control options are available?
A. Dead Rising 3 natively supports KB+M and XInput-based game pads such as the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller. Dead Rising 3 polls both input devices at all times and therefore allows players to switch back and forth at any time without having to change settings in the option menu.

Q. What languages are available?
A. The game includes subtitle support in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Mexican-Spanish, Brazilian-Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
Voiceover support includes English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, and Brazilian-Portuguese.

Q. Is there a retail disc release?
A. Dead Rising 3 PC will be available globally as a digital download across all popular PC digital download outlets, as well as a disc-based release at European and Asian (excluding Japan) retail.

Q. What downloadable content for the Xbox One version is available for PC?
A. All four of the additional Untold Stories episodes released for the Xbox One version are included for free!

Q. The Xbox One version supported Kinect and SmartGlass integration. Is there a similar feature for the Steamworks version?
A: No. Both of those are platform-specific features unique to the Xbox One console, and therefore unavailable for the Steamworks version.

Q. What about the side quests and drone strikes that were accessible via SmartGlass?
A. SmartGlass-specific side quests and additional features are not included in the PC release.

Q: Will Dead Rising 3 be released in Germany?
A: Unfortunately, all previous Dead Rising games, including the latest Dead Rising 3, have not been able to obtain an age rating suitable for release in Germany.

Q: There's a thriving modding community for the previous PC version. Any plan for Workshop support in this version?
A: There are no plans to add Steam Workshop. At the same time, we will not stop modders from toying around with the Steamworks edition. However, modding is not officially supported by Capcom, so play at your own risk.

Q: Does Dead Rising 3 support DirectX 10, 11 and beyond?
A: The game requires DirectX 11.

Q. When is the game releasing?
A. The game will launch on September 5th 2014.

Q. Will there be any special pre-order/pre-purchase offers?
A. Please see participating retailers for their respective pre-purchase offers. Steam, for example, is offering a 10% off deal now through launch.

Q. How much is the PC version?
A. Pre-purchase is now available. Please visit the store page for details (price and currency varies depending on the country).

Q. Will there be pre-loading? I want to be ready to play the moment it’s released!
A. Yes, we plan on offering pre-loading closer to release.

Can i ask something here perhaps? I would love to know if DR3 on PC will support and use more than 4 CPU Cores, and proper SLI Scaling? I also hope you will include Direct Mouse Input because this is a must in PC games! I cannot wait to buy this if it's a decent port :D

[RubberduckzillA RIP Alwyn]

SLI is also a concern of mine, also hoping it's out this month and we get the new super ultra hyper dead rising 3 arcade remix turbo edition ex + alpha

[Be4st]

Here's hoping for late June release, do not dissapoint Qlock!

[God(dy)豐]

Let's hope that the game releases around July!

Would be nice to have all 4 additional DLC bundled up along with the game itself. I feel like we would have to pay for it judging from this answer, LOL. No matter...

[RoboitoAM]

Awwwwww yiss, will buy now that it's confirmed all DLC is coming. Super Ultra DLC means a buy for me!

[froakiethroat]

Thanks a lot for the update, wbacon! Really appreicated.

Only question I have: Will the game enforce the minimum requirements in order to launch (will the game still attempt to launch if the rig doesnt meet the min reqs)?

DR3 PC hype train a-go-go.

[Hektor]

Since this game won't be released in Germany, will i still be able to import this game from somewhere else like UK, or will it have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Regionlock like Dead Rising 2?

[Metal-Slug]

Gonna have to upgrade my PC and get myself a new Xbox One controller (X360 pad is dying) at some point in the future.
