Disable vignette
- Resident Evil 2 has a very strong vignette. While some may feel being unable to see the left and right sides of the screen adds to the horror, others may feel it is annoyingly dark and like looking through a telescope. This is the game with vignette on and this is vignette off.

Issues unresolved
Game becomes too dark/bright at times
- Sometimes, the game may become very dark, such as when standing near the stairs in the main hall, or even simply exploring the RPD. Then at other times, it may become too bright.
Various fixes[6] |
---|
Note:
|
(Nvidia users) Downgrade graphics drivers to version 399.24[citation needed] |
---|
Fatal Application Exit - renderdevicedx11.cpp error crash
This may occur when the helicopter comes.[7]
- No known solution.
Knife damage tied to frame rate
The survival knife does variable damage based on the current frame rate.[8]
- No known fix.
The game can display an incorrect amount of VRAM for you GPU in the graphics menu.[9][10]
- Does not affect performance or available graphics options.
Multimedia keys and Windows key are disabled
- No solution.
Issues fixed
The game updates zombies at a distance less frequently
- Even if you play at 60 or variable (uncapped) FPS, zombies still animate at a maximum of 30 FPS when they are far from the player.
Make zombies always animate at full frame rate[11] |
---|
|
Game fails to launch (ASUS motherboard users)
Uninstall the Sonic suite of applications[12] |
---|
"This extra save data is not compatible and cannot be used"
- Saved games are tied to whatever region Windows is set to, so it can cause issues with cloud-saves across computers.
Change Windows region settings[13] |
---|
If your save game is failing to load after changing to another computer, you need to go into the Windows "Region" settings and change your region to whichever the previous computer had theirs set to. Typically for most English users, it's default is "United States". Once you've changed it, re-launch the game (no reboot required) |
Main hall computer freeze
- The computer in the main hall may cause the game to either freeze or cause the screen to become grey, making it unplayable.
Change DirectX from 11 to 12[14] |
---|
Notes
|
Mouse/keyboard stops working
- The mouse and keyboard may stop responding if you Alt+Tab ↹ out or after a cutscene ends.
Open the Steam Overlay with ⇧ Shift+Tab ↹ and close it[16] |
---|
Plug in, then unplug a controller[17] |
---|
Cutscene playback issues
- The game relies on the presence of Windows Media Player and its codec.
Install the Media Feature Pack for your version of Windows[18] |
---|
Notes |
Ensure any Media Feature Pack alternatives are not running under Windows Media Foundation[18] |
