Key points
- A controller is recommended.
- Features 60 FPS support, albeit slightly botched with some lagspikes and harder QTEs. The game speed is bound to frame rate and has no frame skipping, some animations play at lower frame rate.
- Some improved textures over previous versions. An unofficial texture project is also being developed to completely revise them.
- Mouse controls are hit-or-miss. While they work fine for some, others experience issues such as unresponsiveness, possibly to the extent of being unplayable.[1][2][3] See mouse aiming problems for potential fixes.
- Positional audio is hit-or-miss; many sound effects are mono.[citation needed]

Issues fixed
Random slow downs
- If you're playing the game and it suddenly slows down, load the map and exit.[citation needed]
Mouse aiming problems
- Some players have reported problems using the mouse to aim their weapon.[citation needed] This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to "Modern" and adjusting the sensitivity level.
Can't pass QTE
- In some QTEs, such as when Leon is hanging on a ledge in Chapter 4, mashing the buttons as fast as you can might still not pass the QTE. This is because of botched 60 FPS support, requiring QTEs to be mashed faster.[citation needed] Try changing it to 30FPS, or use Cheat Engine, attach the process, Speed Hack it to 0.5, thus giving you more time to press the button. After the QTE, simply exit Cheat Engine and continue the game. Another tip is to mash the button even before the prompt appears.
Crashes
