Digital Foundry confirms: Cracked version is superior. Completely conclusive.

This should be pretty old news. There's already a fix for the legit version that doesn't require you to download illegal files. The pirated version is missing animations.


You don't have to make that choice. The paid legal version works just as well and keeps the animations.

Thanks, i will test it.

...crazy, that community must fix the game, not the devs.
So devs, look and learn.

tested....it works, also no more drops in bite scenes!

The "mod" is a directinput dll. I doubt it fixes anything other than controller problems.

It implements some of the fixes that the crack made so it does work but not as good since it comes with a bunch of other issues, like crashing and prompts not working right.

Funny how DF didn't mention that...

They do mention it, and even suggest the RE Framework mod because it prevents the animations from being stripped.

The RE Framework mod was updated a couple of days ago to implement some of what's in the Empress crack. The attack stutter and maiden swarm stutter is completely eliminated (I've been playing the game for the last two days using said mod).

The Github entry for the mod explains what it's doing: it essentially "jumps" Capcom's bespoke DRM checks. Kills the stutter dead.

I played through the campaign from beginning to end yesterday and didn't notice any of the prompts not working right. Which prompts are supposed to be broken?

Isn't directinput.dll very commonly used for modding? Something about it being very easy to modify and inject stuff into the game with.

i don't think the cracked version is superior. its missing animations.

No it isn't.

They released a hotfix crack

[populationxx2]

Now i tested the "dinput8.dll" from REFramework in other scenes....different bite scenes, acidrain, shot zombies and so on, NO DROP !

great patch.....i wish, i could use this dinput8.dll in other games for some testing, but it´s RE limited.

DRM checks on a DRM platform are insane and paying customers shouldn't have a worse experience than pirates. On my Series X, I can't recall seeing the sort of patches I've had for other new release games for this one- being slow on patches is one thing but deliberately breaking your own game because you're worried that people playing via a DRM CLIENT didn't pay is insanity.

My net is a bit wonky on my Series X and I swear I have the strangest issues as the game is first starting up- honestly would be curious whether this code is present on the console versions- I can be hammering the game for hours but the game is most likely to bork near the start, coincidentally as my connection is stabilizing.

i think everyone is aware of that now, but we don't need it anyway, the mod came out before that.

the hd version is still processing but you can see the graph.

I wish that mod had been around when I first played through the game. I'm not going to test it myself, I'll just wait for Capcom's patch (unless that doesn't happen within the next weeks, then I will certainly give that mod a shot) - it's great to see it exists though for people who want to play at the moment.

Although I have to admit, I think the focus at least in this thread could be a bit more on Capcom's (not) handling of the situation since release, not so much whether a crack performs better than a mod.

I wish I could find every single a***** that said the issues were hardware related or only affecting an minority and kick them in the teeth

[DarkZide]

So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ typical. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate them. I don't know how much time I spent on the internet looking for a solution to the lagging of some parts and how much emotion and energy was wasted from it before I just accepted that the game was broken.

No one cared at all about the performance issues until Digital Foundry's video came out. I didn't even have any performance issues. I turned off Ray-Tracing and that improved my performance across the board and I assumed that was the deal with any low frame rate issues during gameplay, and sure enough for me it was. Now everyone is freaking out about this.
