Remove Cutscene Black Bars & Ultra-wide Support

Resident Evil 2 has cutscenes in 16:9 along with gameplay. There is currently only one way to remove the black bars in cinematics only for resolutions 21:9 and above.

DX11/DX12: Use RE2 3DMigoto w/Reshade Hook Support Fix
[Surround/Eyefinity]: Centres the UI for Surround/Eyefinity users (Monitor count >=2) Removes the Cinematic Black borders in Surround/Eyefinity. Swap between centered UI and default UI by pressing F11 (is enabled by default ONLY for Eyefinity/Surround). FOV Surround value: Use Hex-editor replace the following bytes in re2.exe:`FD FF A7 3F 00 00 00 00` => `FD FF A7 40 00 00 00 00`" Tweaks the Vignette so is not visible. (Just removing it, creates a colour inversion bug). Removes the Blackbars in cinematics. (I believe it should work at 21:9 aspect ratios as well). It doesn't change the UI at 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 resolutions. Does not allow use of RE2 Framework Mod (very popular - First Person Mod, etc.) due to DInput conflicts (Unresolved as of 12/2020)

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.

DX11: Use RE2 LightsOn
This method is for a certain audience who dislike how dark a lot of the game is and prefer something resembling the original game, and for those who dislike the filters the game uses (for example, a beige filter in the main hall and a hazy blue filter in dark hallways). Unfortunately, this mod is also the only way to remove the filters in an "all-or-nothing" approach. Press `F5` to get rid of the darkness and filters, which will also remove the vignette. This method is not compatible with FXAA, but other anti-aliasing options work. Players will need to readjust brightness because the game will likely be very bright. Try Rec 709 color space, max brightness middle, min brightness lowest, and then brightness 5 from the left. Disable bloom and volumetric lighting quality to help remove excessive brightness. UI will be a little dark and harder to read, but it should not be too bad. The player is left with a very strong flashlight which may be off-putting in many areas. Using the latest version of "Ultimate Trainer for Resident Evil 2 Remake", it is possible to add manual flashlight support. Go to "Character" tab, scroll down and enable Manual Flashlight, then go to "Hotkey" and assign a key such as F. Not compatible with RE2 Mod Framework, meaning no first person support or manual flashlight using this method. Raccoon City's streets upon first arriving in town will be ridiculously bright. This is a very short section which does not accurately represent the mod, so do not attempt to calibrate brightness here.

Issues unresolved

Fatal Application Exit - renderdevicedx11.cpp error crash

This may occur when the helicopter comes.^[11]

Update Windows and drivers to the latest version
Verify integrity of the game
Delete re2_config.ini in the game folder location and reopen the game
Open re2_config.ini in the game folder and add "PCResolution=12" under "[Render]". Edit resolution once the game is able to open
Change DirectX version (if both work fine, use 11 as there is less performance loss over 12 in this game)
Underclock your GPU

Knife damage is tied to frame rate

The survival knife does variable damage based on the current frame rate.^[12]

No known fix.

Graphics menu displays incorrect amount of VRAM

The game can display an incorrect amount of VRAM for you GPU in the graphics menu.^[13]^[14]

Does not affect performance or available graphics options.

The game may warn you that you will experience poor performance in high settings, but as long as your GPU's actual VRAM is sufficient this is not true.

Multimedia keys and Windows key are disabled

No solution.

Issues fixed

"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^[15]
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, its default is "United States". Once you've changed it, re-launch the game (no reboot required)

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^[16]
Try installing latest video drivers. Lower the image quality, such as from `100%` to `50%`. Turn off `Screen Space Reflections` in options. Cap the framerate at 30 or 60, not `Variable`. Try changing around windowed/fullscreen/borderless fullscreen mode. Disable anything with "shadow" in options (`Shadow Cache`, `Contact Shadows`). Try changing from Directx 12 back to 11. Try increasing the texture quality to use 2GB or more of VRAM. It is set to 0.5GB by default. Try changing Ambient Occlusion settings, watching for screen darkening/brightening. Note: Some potential fixes, specifically setting `Shadow Cache` to off, will have a negative impact on performance.^[2]

(Nvidia users) Downgrade graphics drivers to version 399.24^{[citation needed]}

Stutters

Resident Evil 2 is known to have stutters for many players. Apart from the possible fixes under "Game becomes too dark/bright at times", another method is to increase the paging file size. Resident Evil 2 uses heavy resources on a PC's paging file, which acts as alternate virtual RAM.^[17] If the paging file is set too low (such as a maximum of 2GB), this can act as a performance bottleneck, resulting in frequent stutters while exploring. This is especially true if the system's RAM is 8GB and under. Increasing the paging file size (such as from 2GB to 8GB) can drastically improve performance and reduce stutters.

Increase paging file size
Open start menu, type "run" and use run command. Enter systempropertiesadvanced. Go to "Advanced" tab and click settings. Go to "Advanced" and choose "programs" instead of "background services". Under virtual memory, click change. Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file for all drives" at the top. Select custom size. Although there is no definitive paging file size, try making the initial and maximum both 12288. Click OK and restart your computer. Try the game to see if performance is improved.

Zombies animate at 30 FPS

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.^[18]

Make zombies always animate at full frame rate^[19]
Open `re2.exe` with a hex editor such as HxD. Go to offset `4EA8C9`. Find `44 8B C5`. Replace with `45 31 C0`. Note: This fix will only work on the newest, updated version of the game as of 2/1/2020.

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^[22]
Notes This will result in lower overall frame rates.^[23]

Open the Steam Overlay with `⇧ Shift`+`Tab ↹` and close it^[25]

Plug in, then unplug a controller^[26]

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^[27]

Unseeable Darkness and/or Ghosting of UI

Game might turn pitch black with only UI visible after the car-truck collition, if the game is restarted it will return to normal. During the PDA cutscene after first entering RPD the cutscene freezes and UI will start ghosting and the game will turn pitch black after the cutscene ends. Can be bypassed by saving in nearest Typewriter and restaring the game, but in this way watching the cutscene is impossible.

Restart Game

Fatal Application Exit (DirectX11)

After installing Nvidia GeForce Driver 460.xx or 461.09, Resident Evil 2 may crash with a "Fatal Application Exit - GPU will not respond to more Commands" message. This happens in DirectX11 mode. Can be triggered when pausing the 2nd cutscene during Claire (2nd Run) new game when she is running into the Police Station.
