With a new update, Capcom has finally solved a problem that has been irritating many gamers. The controversial Denuvo tech has been removed from Resident Evil Village after 2 years.
A new update for Resident Evil Village has been released on Steam , removing Denuvo’s controversial anti-tamper tech. Fans have been complaining for a long time that the game performs worse on PC compared to the console versions. The “broken” version, unofficially released online, seemed to confirm this. It took much longer than anyone expected. It seems that Capcom finally solved the problem. Hopefully this will be the update players have been waiting for and make it a more enjoyable experience.
Resident Evil Village was released in May 2021, so it took almost two years to solve this problem. It’s been a long time, but surely better late than never! Denuvo’s tech has long been controversial among gamers, although it’s hard to say if it directly caused performance issues in this scenario. As the Video Games Chronicle notes, it was present in the game along with Capcom’s own copy protection, and the problem may have been exacerbated by both sides. Many PC fans have attributed performance issues to Denuvo in the past, but not every game that uses the technology has similar problems. It has caused enough headaches over the years to justify the frustration of players.
What is Resident Evil Village about?
A direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard , Resident Evil Village marks the return of the protagonist, Ethan Winters. Taking place three years after the previous game, Ethan and his wife Mia are trying to get back to normal with their daughter Rosemary. However, things are thrown into chaos when Chris Redfield arrives, seemingly murdering Mia and kidnapping Ethan and Rosemary. When Wintersa wakes up, she finds herself in a mysterious village and sets out to rescue Rosemary. Unfortunately, there are even bigger monsters in the village than any he has encountered before! The Capcom game received good reviews upon release and received DLC to add new features and content.
