Graphics being awful when they shouldn't be

[IAmScrum]

Alright, so my setup definitely exceeds the recommended settings on the store page. I have an RTX 2060 and 16 gb of ram. When the game first came out, I was running on whatever the default settings were with no issues and the game looked fine. Then one day the game randomly dropped to 30 FPS, to the point I was adjusting mouse and controller sensitivity because the response time was so low. Finally figured out it had something to do with the graphics settings, so I had NVidia "optimize" the game. It puts the slider at near the complete opposite end from permformance, and when I run the game it looks like garbage. Ugly crosshatch patterns on every texture I look at, but the FPS does go back up.

So if a 1070 is the recommended gpu, why is my 2060 struggling so badly with this game. I have no interest in playing at 30 FPS, I might as well have just bought it for console, and I have no interest in the game running smooth at the expense of textures looking PS1-era.

It uses W10 the most game hating OS in MS history and it will be replaced by W11 soon.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's issue and your continued window's 10 hate campaign isn't helping anyone.

Anyway. as to the topic at hand. The most basic thing to ask is have you changed anything recently, such as updated gpu drivers for instance? Do you monitor your hardware temps, check for things like overheating? Generally just try to recall anything of note from the time it was working fine until now.

ignore him. That guy has been flooding/crying in every post about not being able to play because the game is on W10 and not on W7 just because his potato can't run it.

The initial performance issues were caused by the DRM issues, once the people cracked it and removed it, the game ran perfectly fine. CAPCOM then parched the game, so all the stuttering and frame drops seem to have cleared up. I bought the game day one I have a 2070S and 16gb RAM, and the game ran poorly. Now however, I have it on 1080 “ultra” with RTX off, and the game is perfect. I’d say NEVER let nvidia optimise your games. Your issue of having crosshatch could be the game running on “Interlaced” instead of “Normal” rendering mode. I’d change that and fiddle with the settings manually yourself. Your 2060 should have no issues with the game. Also, make sure RTX is off. That gives a pretty big performance drop, and I find it to be a gimmick personally. Especially in RE8.

Lets hope it gets Vulkan and Direct X11 support soon, crappy Windows 10 Direct X 12 drivers that Capcom dont know how to progrram for.

It would be nice to havee Vulkan, but still, NO WINDOWS 7 support.

I agree, Vulkan API support would be amazing. I LOVE Vulkan! I wish everyone could code a game as well as ID coded Doom 2016 + Eternal. Now that's the future should be xD

Windows 11 in its's current state isn't any better than Windows 10...I've been running the most recent Windows 11 Beta build for the past week and it has plenty of issues like random left clicks and it's neither of my two mice,

I also have roughly the same performance no better no worse but have noticed several games like RE Village, Fortnite, Overwatch constantly crash on exit...I'll just about to do a clean install of Windows 10 as i type this message...

I recommend everyone wait a few months until Microsoft get patches/fixes out for Windows 11 because it's gonna launch similar to how all editions of Windows usually launch, Windows 10 is at least stable for game performance

Only thing Windows 11 has going for it is that it looks nice and clean rather than Windows 10 looks rather dated, As for RE Village game needs the DRM removed and a proper optimisation...Once i get passed castle D and back to the village the performance begins to tank no reason for it as before at the start of the game the game performs alright,

Capcom need to fix this game or risk losing future sales and run the risk of fans boycotting future RE titles on PC as i know i won't forget how they treated me like a pirate when i preordered the deluxe edition of RE Village

That's what you get for running a beta... everybody knows that betas are unoptimized versions of a software, c'mon...

On another note...

This is why your game looks/runs bad. GeForce experience is hot garbage. Use DDU to clean out your display drivers and install latest from NVIDIA without installing GFE.

Than set your own settings and game will be fine. Just keep image quality to 1.0.

Update: thanks for the information everyone. The fix was fairly simple; I just reset my graphics settings to default. Not sure why, since I never messed with them manually until the problems showed up one day and I tried using Geforce exp to fix them. Who knows? Game looks good again.

Glad to hear.

Awesome, great to hear! Yeah I find GeForce EXP can be a bit derpy when it comes to auto setting the the settings. I'd always do it manually in the game! But now that it's fixed, go enjoy the game! :)

I wish every game you want to buy and play be windows 10 only.
