Capcom has released the first major update for Resident Evil Requiem, bringing important performance and stability adjustments. The update is now available and is around 1.4 GB in the PC version, updating the game to version 1,110,000. It was also reported the introduction of a new anti-cheating system that requires an online connection.
One of the points to be careful about after the update is that mods may no longer work correctly. Several players reported that the patch breaks compatibility with installed modifications, which can also cause crashes or instability. Therefore, the recommendation is to remove any mod before starting the game, especially if crashes occur.
According to the patch notes, the March 4th patch is primarily focused on improving Path Tracing performance and increasing stability on certain graphics cards. Among the most important fixes is the solution to an issue that caused a significant drop in performance on RTX 40 and RTX 50 series GPUs, with losses of up to 16% in frame rate on some systems.
