For those who went to get your ass yeeted by Girl Dimitrescu this previous weekend solely to have Resident Evil Village crash as an alternative, you’re not alone. A latest replace to the PC model triggered a bug that’s crashing the sport for a lot of PC gamers on Steam.
Earlier at present, Capcom made a submit on the official Resident Evil Twitter account apologizing for the inconvenience of the crashes and stating that it’s presently engaged on a repair. Gamers on Steam report that, upon beginning Village, they’re greeted with a message saying their knowledge is “incompatible” adopted by a suggestion to restart the sport, basically locking them out.

Kotaku reached out to Capcom for remark.
In a Steam discussion board submit, participant FluffyQuack speculated that the rationale ViIlage is now crashing on PCs is because of newly added code that checks the sport for modifications / anomalies and ceases to run when any are discovered. The flawed replace comes simply forward of the launch of its subsequent main DLC, dubbed the Winters’ Growth. Amongst different additions, the Winters’ Growth, which launches subsequent week, will add a brand new single-player episode and increase the rating attack-style battle mode referred to as “The Mercenaries” with 4 new playable characters, together with the now slightly-more-diminutive Girl D, Heisenberg, and boulder-punching aficionado Chris Redfield.
Whereas gamers await a repair from Capcom, FluffyQuack already workshopped a makeshift workaround that appears to permit the bottom recreation to run once more, with the caveat of not with the ability to use any of its DLC.
The Winters’ Growth updates will launch on October 28 and be obtainable each individually, and as a bundle with the unique recreation generally known as Resident Evil Village Gold Version.
