now crashing on PCs is thanks to newly added code that checks the game for mods/anomalies and stops executing if any are found. The buggy update comes just about a week before the launch of the next big DLC ​​called Winters’ Expansion. Among other additions, the Winters’ expansion, launching next week, will add four new playable characters to the Score Attack-style battle mode, The Mercenaries, including the now slightly smaller Lady D Heisenberg and Chris Redfield, an avid Boulder fan.
