People who actually paid for the PC port were getting a worse experience than pirates As Eurogamer noted, these aren’t exactly ideal times for your game’s performance to tank. Some players noted hitches, stutters, and fps drops, mainly in combat when either killing an enemy or taking damage. The problems, which may have been caused by DRM (though Capcom has not confirmed this) were noted both by outlets like Eurogamer and a good number of reviewers on the game’s Steam page (though it is worth noting that the game does still have “Overwhelmingly Positive” Steam reviews overall). The update also includes support for AMD’s upscaling tech to help improve your frame rates even more, if you’ve got a supported graphics card. Before the patch, Eurogamer reports frame rates tanking from over 100fps to around 30fps in certain scenes, making the PC version of the game significantly worse to play than the console version. Over three months after the port’s release, Capcom has released an update to fix performance issues related to DRM and, according to Eurogamer, it appears to have resolved the larger performance issue, too. If you bought Resident Evil Village on PC but put off playing it due to horrible performance issues, you may be in luck.
