Resident Evil: Revelations 2

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
Revision as of 00:09, 11 April 2018 by BONKERS (talk | contribs) (Added REHD Fix to page as this works for REV2 as well. Without this mod, playing at 4k on my 980 was nothing but low GPU usage and stuttering without the game hitting 60FPS. With it, the game runs near perfectly and there are only frame drops as GPU maxes)

Widescreen resolution

Change settings in config.ini[1]
  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\CAPCOM\RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS2\
  2. Open config.ini.
  3. Change the Resolution line to the desired resolution (e.g. Resolution=1680x1050).
  4. Change the Aspect line to the desired aspect ratio (e.g. Aspect=16:10). For 21:9 use Aspect=default.

Notes

The aim cursor does not currently work in 21:9 Ultrawide resolution as the shot always occurs 5cm (about 2 inches) to the right as of 4/4/2017 - Patch version 4.10. The only known workaround at this time is to play at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

RSTICK_VERT=RZ
RSTICK_HORZ=Z

Notes

Controller button numbers can be found by opening Set up USB game controllers (accessed by Win+R and joy.cpl), clicking properties, and then switching to the Test tab. Actual button number is -1 from shown, e.g. if button 1 lights up, it's button 0.

Issues fixed

Unusually high CPU usage

Underclock processor speed[citation needed]
  1. Access Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Settings
  2. On you current power plan (or any other if you want) click "Change plan settings"
  3. Click "Change advanced power settings", a window will pop in
  4. Scroll down to "Processor energy management" and then open it
  5. 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)
  6. 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[2]
  1. Download Resident Evil HD Remaster fps fix
  2. Copy d3d9.dll to the installation folder.
