Key points
- Features 60 FPS support, Steam achievements, and improved HD textures. Players can toggle between original Wii/GC textures (4.42 GB) and HD (15 GB) textures. While a few textures, such as items and character models were improved, the majority of environments were simply filtered to hide the pixelated look with an oil or watercolor painting look. An unofficial texture project is in the works to make up for this shortcoming.
- Less moddable than previous version and film grain can not be disabled by default.
- Mouse aiming is difficult with default settings, possibly to the extent of being unplayable. Aiming with a mouse may be much improved after changing the aim mode to "modern" in settings. A controller is highly recommended.
- The 60 FPS support has been controversial: some players have had no issues, while others report frequent slow motion. The game speed is bound to frame rate and has no frame skipping; any framedrops will slow the game down. Many animations (blood spilling, smoke, water splashing, fire from certain torches, reloading the rifle, smashing wooden barrels, etc.) are not optimized for 1080p 60FPS, and will often lag the game down to 30FPS (resulting in the game playing at half speed) until the animation is over and it resumes back to 60FPS. Almost every lag spike, even on decent gaming PCs, are caused by these unoptimized animations. One solution is to lower the resolution; for example, changing 1920x1080 to 1600x900 can drastically help with reducing lag.
- Positional audio is hit or miss. When the game was initially released, sound effects were monaural and would not pan to the speaker based on their location on the screen; only music and background ambiance is stereo. Capcom/QLOC attempted to correct this issue and some sound effects were made positional but they did not thoroughly follow through with correcting the issue so many sound effects remain mono as of the 1.0.6 patch. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions also lack discrete surround sound while positional audio is completely functional in the GameCube and Wii versions of the game.
- Latest update patch is 1.0.6.[1] It is unknown if Capcom will improve the optimization another patch.

Issues fixed
Random lag
- If you're playing the game and it suddenly lags, load the map and exit.
Can't pass QTE
- For some QTEs, such as when Leon is hanging on a ledge in Chapter 4, mashing the button as fast as you can still doesn't pass the QTE and he falls off anyway. 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.
