A couple of weeks again, hackers hit the headlines by insisting that the stuttering and dropped framerates skilled by gamers on PC have been attributable to the sport’s personal anti-piracy measures – one thing Digital Foundry was in a position to check and show, too.
Will “minor fine-tuning” be sufficient? We’ll have to attend till the replace rolls out on twenty fourth August to seek out out, I suppose.
As Richard defined over on Digital Foundry just lately, it took Capcom “74 days from launch to launch a patch to handle the efficiency problems with the PC model of Resident Evil Village – an replace Capcom needed to ship within the face of revelations that the pirated/cracked model of the sport ran nigh-on flawlessly”.
“it is tough to not really feel that Capcom could possibly be doing a lot extra for PC customers already reeling from the information that anti-piracy measures sabotaged the sport they’d purchased and paid for,” he mentioned.
ICYMI, Capcom has now bought 4.5m copies of Resident Evil Village. That is a gradual uptick from the final couple of gross sales milestones introduced by the writer – 3m when it launched again in Could, after which as much as 4m after 20 days.
