Those who downloaded the upgrade patch Resident Evil 2 Remake , Resident Evil 3 Remakeand Resident Evil 7 Be aware that Capcom has reactivated a previous version that did not include ray tracing and DirectX 12.
According to Capcom, “due to the overwhelming response from the Steam community,” it reactivated the original PC version as the patch raised the graphics card and system requirements for PC users.
Before the update, these games required Windows 7-10 64-BIT, DirectX 11, and at least a GeForce 760 or AMD R7 260X. After the update, Windows 10 with DirectX 12 and GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 460 or higher is required.
The upgrade also reportedly broke some mods available for the game, and there is no option to revert to the previous version.
Going forward, both the original and upgraded versions of the game will be available to Steam users.
If you have upgraded one of the three titles and wish to revert to an older version, you will need to perform the following steps:
- Click LIBRARY in the Steam client.
- Right click on the game and select “Properties…”
- In the pop-up menu, select “”BETAS””
- Select “dx11_non-rt” from the drop down menu (note: no password required)
- Close the popup menu and let the Steam client update the game automatically
- After the update is complete, you should be able to start the game normally
- Due to the rollback process, some in-game option settings will be reset.
If you want to update the game to the new version again, just select “None” from the drop-down menu in step 4.
Yesterday, Capcom released updated versions of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake and Resident Evil 7 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users. Those who own the game on PC, PS4 or Xbox One are eligible for the free upgrade.
