Resident Evil 2 Black screen DX11

[Haitians Ate My Cat]

I am having constant black screens when I play on DX11. It does not happen when I play on DX12 but the performance impact sucks plus I can't use ReShade on 12 and I personally love using ReShade. Is anyone else having this problem and/or do you know how to fix it?

Turn off ReShade.

Why hasn't this issue been fixed.

Because it's not the game itself. I play since more then 140 hours in DX11 with Reshade and never stuck in a blackscreen.

Check your DirectX, vcredist and Microsoft Media Feature Pack.

What do you mean by check it? Should I reinstall all of them?

[Blacksmith77K]

Sure, why not. Usually each SteamGame contains a own _CommonRedist folder. But RE2 Remake miss them... no idea why.

Go to your Resident Evil 7 folder and use these both

C:\STEAM\steamapps\common\RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard\_CommonRedist

Is there a way to do it online I can'f find any files in any of the folders?

Were you able to play the game without the black screen issue? I experience it too, also when I first reach the RPD and enter the cutscene where you view the security computer.

I don't think I ever got passed it without the black screen. I just played it in DX12

Sorry, I meant "were you able to play the game 'in DX11' without the black screen issue," but I'm sure you knew what I meant.

Apparently, older Nvidia driver versions in the 300's work. I haven't tried this myself yet:

Actually, I found a fix, at least for me, without reverting to old drivers 😌😌:

I don't have HDR but I did use ReShade and I turned HDR setting on there on so that could possibly work for me also.
