Key points

PC Port Report by TotalBiscuit
Capcom has offered some support for crashing.
Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS by default[1] although this can easily be removed—see High frame rate.
Currently considered as an overly taxing and badly optimized port.

Essential improvements

Flawless Widescreen's Dead Rising 3 plug-in can be used to increase the game's FOV.

SLI support

By default the NVIDIA profile does not have SLI compatibility bits for the game. If you have a SLI setup on your computer and would like to improve your general performance you might want to enable SLI support.
Instructions

Note: Some random guy (me) says "I used SLI compatibility bits (DX1x) to 0x00000004 (Need For Speed: The Run etc) and I don't get any flickering." ^^ Regarding the above comment of using NFS: The Run SLI profile, I found that using that profile didn't actually enable SLI and it was only using one video card.

Field of view (FOV)

The latest version of Flawless Widescreen has a plug-in for Dead Rising 3 that can be used to increase the game's field of view. At 47, the default FOV for this game is very low.

Notes

  1. ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/265550/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (265550) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
