PC-Specific Changes and Performance Improvements
PC players receive the most substantial changes in this update. Here is a breakdown of what has changed on the platform specifically.
Performance Optimisation for RTX 40 and 50 Series GPUs
The patch resolves a bug that caused significant frame rate drops when using RTX 40 and RTX 50 series graphics cards. On some systems, this fix alone delivers a performance improvement of up to 16%, which is a considerable jump for path tracing-heavy setups.
NVIDIA Driver Recommendation
Capcom recommends that all NVIDIA users run the latest GeForce drivers for the best experience. Specifically, the newly released GeForce Hotfix Driver 595.76 includes fixes made directly for Resident Evil Requiem. If you are still experiencing issues after installing the patch, updating to NVIDIA Driver 595.71 or later and restarting your PC should force the new OTA profile update to take effect.
Online Requirement
One change that has caught some players off guard is that Resident Evil Requiem on PC now requires an active connection to Steam in order to play. This appears to have been implemented as part of this update.
Mod Support
The update has also broken RE Framework support for mods. Players using mods built on the RE Framework should expect crashes until mod developers push compatibility updates.
Steam Deck
Although Resident Evil Requiem launched with an “Unsupported” rating on Steam Deck, community reports suggest that following the engine-side optimisations in this patch, the game can now achieve a stable 40 FPS using FSR 3 Balanced Mode.
UI and Localisation Improvements
Beyond performance, the patch also brings some polish to the user interface. Dynamic resizing for text boxes now prevents text from overflowing in different languages, which is a particularly welcome fix for players using non-English localisations of the game.
