We also know about frequent freezes, freezes and low fps among users. This article is about fixing the listed issues in Resident Evil 3 Remake.
How to troubleshoot Resident Evil 3 Remake errors and lags?
This is a fresh, high-quality remake of the original part of the game. It, like the previous part, is based on the RE Engine, which means it has attractive graphics and decent optimization. This still does not mean that the game has no lags and is working properly for everyone. Over time, it may be so, but now we have to use alternative solutions and workarounds.
How to remove lags and increase fps?
Due to the abundance of different computer configurations, developers cannot take into account all possible assembly options, so some users complain about performance problems: FPS drops, low frame rates, lags and freezes.
How to improve the situation:
- Check for complex background processes. During the game, programs that consume a lot of processing power of the video card, hard disk and processor should not be running. It is better to close all secondary applications.
- Install the latest graphics driver. Updating often helps, but sometimes a downgrade is needed – a rollback to a previous software update.
- In the settings, turn off DirectX 12 and activate DirectX 11.
- Change graphics settings. To do this, open the “NVidia Control Panel”, select “Manage 3D Settings” and select this game in the “Program Settings” section. It remains only in the “Vertical sync” parameter to select the “On” option. In the game itself, you should turn off vertical sync.

How to solve fatal error in Resident Evil 3 Remake?
Many Resident Evil 3 Remake players write that their fatal error appears in both DirectX 12 and DirectX 11. The probable cause of the problem is the GPU: it may be outdated and simply not capable of handling large data streams, or it is overclocked.
What can be done:
- Limit the number of FPS. This can be easily accomplished in the NVidia settings. In the parameters of the panel you need to find the option “Max. FPS limit “for this game and set 30 fps. Empirically, you can find the optimal number of frames per second, at which the computer will not generate a critical error.
- Return the GPU to its original frequency. Even factory overclocking can cause glitches. MSI Afterburner can be used to reduce the clock speed. First, you should try to lower the value by 50-100 MHz. If it doesn’t work – 100-200 MHz.
Eliminate crashes
