UPDATE: Capcom has now confirmed that we should expect a PC performance patch soon.

Our tech review of Resident Evil Village on PC had a bunch of positive points, but what baffled us was the weird performance issues in areas of the game where an RTX 3090 could run slower than Xbox Series S and where combat was plagued with stutter. What was going on? A cracked version of the game appeared which blames it all on Capcom DRM... so what's really going on?

For those having issues, try this mod for RE:V - we didn't have much luck with it, but others are claiming big improvements in line with the crack: https://github.com/praydog/REFramework/
