[Evo]

[Sam]

i cant get it to work even with help, installing various things people have linked thatsaid have worked and emialing capcom, that never got back to me after asking for system specs. :/

YE M8 THIS GAME WORKS 10/10 ON WINDOWS 10.
Should get 64x though. And the latest drivers and the like.

Im playing this on w10, 64 bits, so yes it is work

[dantrr]

I've been playing on Win10 no issues for the past 2 years, 64-bit, but it shouldn't matter.

It does, I recommend using a controller though.

Managed to get it to work by creating a RenderSettings.ini file in
C:\Users\*NAME*\Documents\My Games\Dead Rising 2 Off The Record
and pasting:

// Render Settings
RenderWidth = 1920
RenderHeight = 1080
VSync = false
UseMultiCore = true
Refresh = 60
MSAA = 7
Gamma = 1.0
COMBINED_BLUR = COMBINED_BLUR_DISABLED
ZOMBIE_COUNTS = ZOMBIE_COUNTS_TWOFOLD
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX8

Edit as you see fit.
Otherwise it would open and close the game without being able to do anything.

No, a blank window pops up but never closes making you have to restart your PC.

the game was crashing at startup for me too but i managed to fix it by moving the game to my C: drive.

Thank you, this fixed it for me.

I've found that alt-tabbing is highly unstable. Other than that, everything works perfectly.

Depending on admin permissions, your computer may cause issues with creating the render INI with security settings, which can screw up things quite a bit. If that's the case (generally the reason for a black screen/crash on startup), you'll just need to make an INI yourself using exactly what kljf22 posted earlier:

// Render Settings
RenderWidth = 1920
RenderHeight = 1080
VSync = false
UseMultiCore = true
Refresh = 60
MSAA = 7
Gamma = 1.0
COMBINED_BLUR = COMBINED_BLUR_DISABLED
ZOMBIE_COUNTS = ZOMBIE_COUNTS_TWOFOLD
SHADOW_QUALITY = SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH
TEXTURE_FILTERING = TF_ANISOX8

It goes under This PC > Documents > My Games > Dead Rising 2 Off The Record as rendersettings.ini. It won't show up correctly with Notepad, so use Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org] instead.

Again, that's all a worst case scenario. It worked "perfectly" out of the box for me, I put that in quotes because it defaulted to 60 Hz (fine for the average user, not-so-fine if you want to play in 144 Hz). It's an easy fix by changing Refresh = 60 to Refresh = 144 in the INI.

Also, no matter what your hardware is, expect BIG framerate drops. This game doesn't mess around with enemy count, and I go from 100 to 40 depending on the scene. It's even worse if you use Double Buffering VSync, and your processor makes a massive difference here (I use an FX 8300 and R7 360, it's playable but not a perfect 60). It's still better than the Xbox 360 version, which ran at a lovely 15 FPS.

You have to pick between high framerates and no tearing with the double buffer VSync, so FreeSync makes a massive difference here if you have a monitor that supports it.

off the record works, but dr2 doesnt work as good

[Max]

Yes it does. I didn't need to mess with anything in the game files.

My Windows 10 game crashed whenever I clicked on an option using my mouse but using my Xbox controller worked. Not so much a fix as a emergency bypass but might be of help to others.
