For these, who have problem with CRASH after load game

[You]

Hello guys. Yesterday i try play RE Village ( 5th playthrough ) BUT after load NG, NG+, Old saves my game just stop loading in loading screen and then crash, without crash report window....( sometimes crash with crash report window )

I Read steam forum, reddit and many gamers write, use " RE Framework " or disable "Nahimic Service" or " Uninstall Reshade " or " Install game without Winters DLC for this game " or " Reinstal NVIDIA Drivers " ..... BUT, nothing works for me.

I find easy way, how can i play this game with: RE Framework ( FOV slider + no Vignette ) + Reshade + for me, Czech subtittles.

After many hours, i just do this: ( BTW sorry for my English, I am from CZ )

1. Uninstall game from steam + in folder: " C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common " delete folder: Resident Evil Village BIOHAZARD VILLAGE

2. Restart PC and install game from steam ( I install this game with Winters DLC too )

3. When game is installed, open it BUT DONT PLAY IT !!!!

4. Go to the graphics settings, configure your native resolution + disable HDR and NOW, disable Raytracing + Shadow Cache !!! ( You can Enabled RayTracing after step 11. !!!!!!!! )

5. After 4th step, play the game ( I play it for 10min) and then close game to the desktop

6. After you stop playing RE Village, quit Steam

7. Download " Re Framework " There is URL what i use ( latest version for no VR players )
https://github.com/praydog/REFramework-nightly/releases
( On this URL, look for " Assets " and look down, there is " Show all 15 Assets " , click on it and download: " RE8.zip "

8. From " RE8.zip " copy this 1 dll file: " dinput8.dll " to your main game folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil Village BIOHAZARD VILLAGE )

9. ( optional, but trust me this game is better with this, look at this, this is same reshade preset: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc0XsiuuDgI )

9.1 Install " Reshade " ( the 1st green " Download ReShade 6.3.3 " )
https://reshade.me/#download

9.2 Open Reshade, Click on RE Village and Next, DirectX 10/11/12 and Next, sellect ALL effect to install and click on Next ..... After this, download this Reshade preset from Nexus:
https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilvillage/mods/277?tab=description

9.3 From " RE8 ReShade Preset-277-1-0-1663177390.rar " copy this 2 files: " reshade-shaders " and " ReShade.ini " to your main game folder ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil Village BIOHAZARD VILLAGE )

10. After this steps, start the game and on your keyboard: INS button = RE framework menu ( FOV change + Vignette On/Off in " Camera " and HOME button = Reshade settings. When you have Reshade settings opened ( HOME button on keyboard )you must activate downloaded preset.

Under " Home / Add-ons / Settings / Statistics / Log / About " click on the blue thing and find folder " reshade-shaders " and open it, then click on " Presets " and open it and click on this 1 file " AsD-_17's RE8 Preset.ini " and now, you have Reshade preset from this NICE guy from Nexus ...... BUT I RECOMMENDED disable in Reshade menu this: " ADOF )qUINT_dof.fx) .... sometimes, game is blurry when this game not must be blurry ( yep i know, my english :D )

11. Play the game. AFTER THIS STEPS, I turn ON Raytracing on High and EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, no more crashes even when i try close game, restart pc, reload save / oldest save game from steam cloud ....game just work for me after this steps !

I've taken the trouble to share what works on my PC. I hope you don't stone me for my lack of English. Hope this helps someone. Sad is, devs dont do nothing with this problem, because i am not single one, who have this problem after patch.

My setup is: RTX 4080 Phantom, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 32 GB RAM 3200mhz, Win 10, 1440p
