Change the Aspect line to the desired aspect ratio (e.g. Aspect=16:10). For 21:9 use Aspect=default.

Issues fixed

Refresh rate stuck at 60 or resets to 60

Edit the config file then set to read-only

Unusually high CPU usage

Underclock processor speed[citation needed]

Access Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Settings On you current power plan (or any other if you want) click "Change plan settings" Click "Change advanced power settings", a window will pop in Scroll down to "Processor energy management" and then open it Then you'll want to change "Minimum processor state" and "Maximum processor state" to 0% (this will limit your processor clock rate without causing any performance drops to the game) Click apply and then exit. Notes After you exit the game do not forget to change "Maximum processor state" back to 100%. This fix won't lower the performance of the game if the clock rate is not too low. This can be also done with processor management software

Poor performance or slowdowns

The mod below used for RE HD Remaster may help improve performance and fix stuttering. Especially at high resolutions

Apply frame rate fix
Download Resident Evil HD Remaster fps fix Copy d3d9.dll to the installation folder.

There is another mod (not compatible with the one above) that disables certain rendering features to improve performance on less-capable systems.

Apply Performance Boost mod
Download the mod from the linked thread. Copy d3d9.dll and varshare.dll to the installation folder.

Title screen with Biohazard text and audio

Despite the name "Biohazard" being intended only for Japan, several copies of this game have Biohazard text and announcer voice on the start screen. This mod substitutes relevant textures and audio files to fix this, for those who prefer the international name.

Apply title screen fix
Download the mod from the linked thread. Make a backup of the relevant game files if you wish Overwrite the original title screen texture and audio files with the ones from the mod
