Resident Evil Requiem is expected to be released on February 27, but some have already managed to gain access and evaluate the novelty on consoles and PCs.
A PC Gamer journalist was generally satisfied with the optimization, but said that the PC version of Resident Evil Requiem has certain technical nuances.
Micro-freezes can occur when performing certain actions:
Unstable frame time shows that not everything is perfect: when you first pick up a new item, there is a noticeable freeze — the game slows down while loading resources for the model in the inventory. I experimented with different settings, trying to remove or at least reduce it, but to no avail. But in general, the performance remains quite comfortable, and in game scenes indoors, the frame rate is even higher and more stable. We can say that ray tracing does not give much, but the difference [in performance] between the enabled and disabled modes is small, and improved reflections make its inclusion justified.
It is noteworthy that players in Resident Evil Village noted similar problems several years ago. Then they were "resolved" after a cracked version of the game appeared — there were no freezes on the "pirated" version. In this regard, a theory arose that these technical problems are caused by the protection system used (Denuvo + DRM system of Capcom itself).
