PC Resident Evil 4 - All stutter and no play makes Jack a dull gamer...

[TheGreenJackass]

Just a message to vent here. I nearly went insane with the settings of this game. Hell, I already did with past RE Engine games for other bullsh*t reasons (mainly brightness and aliasing), but at least my current hardware runs those without trouble (1080p, 60fps, no ray tracing).

But RE4 gave me headaches with FPS drops and stuttering. I spent a whole day tinkering with the settings, adding DLSS with mods, using frame generation on Lossless Scaling—no results. And finally, I just reinstalled AMD Software Adrenalin instead of Pro, and everything works! There’s still some stuttering once in a while, but at least there's no dip below 50fps in the village sections.

So if you're in the same situation as me, uninstalling AMD Software Pro and replacing it with AMD Software Adrenalin might fix your issue!

I hope the remaster of the original will run good. I bought it years ago and never played!
From what I gather, CAPCOM isn't too good on PC. If you own a console, prefer that version.

Só um desabafo. Quase enlouqueci com as configurações desse jogo. Aliás, já enlouqueci com jogos anteriores da RE Engine por outros motivos idiotas (principalmente brilho e serrilhamento), mas pelo menos meu hardware atual roda esses jogos sem problemas (1080p, 60fps, sem ray tracing).

Mas o RE4 me deu muita dor de cabeça com quedas de FPS e travamentos. Passei um dia inteiro mexendo nas configurações, adicionando DLSS com mods, usando geração de frames em Lossless Scaling — sem resultados. E finalmente, reinstalei o AMD Software Adrenalin em vez do Pro, e tudo funciona! Ainda há alguns travamentos de vez em quando, mas pelo menos não há quedas abaixo de 50 FPS nas áreas da vila.

Portanto, se você estiver na mesma situação que eu, desinstalar o AMD Software Pro e substituí-lo pelo AMD Software Adrenalin pode resolver o seu problema!

PrimeiroFirst of all, that Joker profile picture is really good, and secondly, I have several lightweight zombie games you can play on emulators if you want, and nice to meet you, my name is lod.

Yeah, I’ve played all the RE games up to this one. I played the RE Engine games until Village on a PS4 Pro and was amazed at how well they ran (even Village on performance). I also played the 2005 original and had fun, although it’s not my favorite. I like how they added the crafting system and the non-linear exploration from Village into the new one.

Overall (optimization issues aside), it’s a great game, but I’m not sure it was necessary to remake this one compared to other titles like Code Veronica.
