Capcom has enabled PC players to revert to older versions of several Resident Evil games after recently released upgrades resulted in some users being unable to play them.
Earlier this week the publisherreleased updated versionsofResident Evil 2,Resident Evil 3andResident Evil7, including new current-gen features like 4K support, improved framerates and ray tracing.
While this was fine forPS5andXbox Series X/Sowners whose systems could handle the upgrades,PCowners who were already playing on or close to the minimum requirementsfound their systems could no longer run the games.
“Due to overwhelming community response, we’ve reactivated the previous version that does not include ray tracing and enhanced 3D audio,”Capcomsaidon Thursday.
“Both enhanced and previous versions will be made available going forward.”

From the pull-down menu, select “”dx11_non-rt”” (Note: password not required)5. Close the pop-up menu and let the Steam client auto-update the game6. You should be able to launch the game normally once the update completes7. Please note some of the in-game option settings will be reset as a result of the rollback process.
