The release of the long-awaited Resident Evil Village took place the other day. In general, the players were extremely pleased with the new “iteration” in their favorite series, but the owners of the PC version are actively complaining about various technical problems. Crashes, DLL errors, problems connecting to the Capcom server, low frame rates, inoperative ray tracing – all this and much more Resident Evil Village players have to deal with on personal computers.
In today’s article, we’ll walk you through how to troubleshoot the above issues and truly enjoy the new Resident Evil Village.

Failed to connect to Resident Evil Village server
Some users on the net claim that when they start Resident Evil Village they encounter the error “Failed to connect to the server.” Solution – press the “Restart” button until the error disappears by itself. If the error persists, restart Resident Evil Village completely. It is also recommended that you restart your computer at least once.
Vcomp140.dll error in Resident Evil Village
If you get an error with the dynamic link library vcomp140.dll when starting Resident Evil Village, be aware that you do not have the Visual C ++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2015 on your computer. following link, select the appropriate language, for example, Russian, and click the “Download” button. Select the required installer version (x64 or x86) and click “Next”. Wait for the download to finish, then right-click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator”. Next, check the box next to “I accept the license terms” and click “Install”. After the installation is complete, an error with the vcomp140.dll file will no longer bother you.
Brakes, low FPS in Resident Evil Village
There are not many complaints about poor performance in Resident Evil Village, but they are still there. First of all, we recommend activating the so-called “interlaced rendering mode” in the graphics settings of the game. The picture, of course, will not look the best in this mode, but you will undoubtedly get an increase in the frame rate.
Does the game slow down when local “vampires” appear in front of you? Be sure to update the drivers for your video card. With the new drivers, your FPS in Resident Evil Village will grow slightly, though. You can also use GeForce Experience if you have an Nvidia graphics card to optimize the graphics quality in the game for the best performance.
Ray tracing does not work in Resident Evil Village (RXT 3080)
Owners of RTX 3080 graphics cards need to install all the latest updates for the Windows 10 operating system. Resident Evil Village raytracing refuses to work properly without the latest Microsoft updates. Go to the Update Center and run the automatic system update. Once done, reopen Resident Evil Village and check if ray tracing is working. Of course, do not forget to install the latest drivers for your video card.
Resident Evil Village crashes
Online users claim that Resident Evil Village crashes for them, and quite often. The reason for crashes is textures of too high resolution. Go to the graphics settings of the game and reduce the quality of the textures to a more, so to speak, sane value. “But my video card has a huge buffer!” – it doesn’t matter, still lower the quality of the textures and check if the crashes disappear.
Can’t put a baby in a crib in Resident Evil Village
In the prologue of the game, you, the protagonist, will need to put your child, Rose, in the crib. However, for some reason, you lose the ability to put the girl to bed. The solution is to restart the game. This shouldn’t be a problem as you are still in the prologue.
