Major Update for Resident Evil Requiem Brings Great News for Steam Deck Players

Capcom has released the first major update for Resident Evil Requiem, version 1.110.000, primarily addressing technical issues that affected the PC version at launch. The patch, approximately 1.4 GB, includes crucial fixes for PC, as well as adjustments for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Download sizes vary by console: 1.078 GB on PlayStation 5 and nearly 2.9 GB on Xbox Series X|S. The update addresses multiple visual bugs and fluidity issues. Specific corrections include: Stiff Weapons: Fixed a glitch, reported by many PlayStation 5 players, where the grips of certain long weapons stretched and became rigid, protruding from characters' shoulders. Visual Artifacts: Resolved a graphics issue in the drainage room that caused large black spots to appear when a zombie's body hit the floor. Frame Rate Improvements: Eliminated minor frame drops that occurred when interacting with specific environmental objects or during item box opening and closing animations. Ray Tracing: Corrected incorrect white points appearing on some surfaces when the Ray Tracing graphic option was set to maximum. Notably, Capcom released a separate Day One patch (version 1.1.0) with specific optimizations for a future Nintendo console.

Optimizing Path Tracing Performance and Resolving Technical Issues on PC & Steam Deck in Latest Update of Resident Evil Requiem

On PC, the 1.4 GB update focuses on improving Path Tracing stability and performance, taking into account GPU limitations. It also fixes crashes, stutters, and visual issues reported since launch. An active Steam connection is required to apply the update. NVIDIA users should update to GeForce Hotfix Driver 595.76 for optimal performance. However, this update breaks RE Framework mod support, causing crashes when running mods. Some known issues, such as the W870 Police Shotgun glitch and upscaling-related crashes, remain unresolved. The primary goal of the update is to stabilize Path Tracing performance and resolve frame rate drops (up to 16%) experienced by users of NVIDIA RTX 40 and 50 series graphics cards. To address related issues, NVIDIA released driver update GeForce 595.71 to resolve severe energy consumption anomalies in the game. Although Resident Evil Requiem is not officially supported on Steam Deck, it seems to run smoothly, and Capcom's engine optimizations now allow the game to achieve a stable 40 FPS using the FSR 3 Balanced upscaling mode. Finally, Capcom refined the user interface (UI) across all systems, implementing a dynamic text box resizing model that resolves issues with subtitles being cut off or overlapping in different languages.
