Message: [QUOTE="ViperAcidZX, post: 369641, member: 7401"] If you're referring to the Ultimate HD Edition on Steam, it tends to be [I]very[/I] finicky on certain hardware configurations and how well it cooperates. Around the time I got the Ultimate Edition Edition when I got my own computer (that is sadly obsolete compared to what's the current standard now), it ran fine at 60 FPS. Later Windows updates and parts had to be replaced when they either broke down or found a better replacement, the game sometimes plays at an extremely bogged down framerate, as if it was in a perpetual state of slow motion for no good reason unless I go back to the original default 30 FPS cap, and other times it runs fine like nothing happened. Changing other graphics setting didn't help either to fix this issue; regardless of anti-aliasing quality I used, texture and shadow quality setting, post-processing filters enabled or not, and turning off built-in V-sync function (which actually does not work at all in the INI file, for whatever reason) did not solve the issue unless I go back to playing at 30 FPS if the game refused to play in a stable framerate past 30 FPS for God knows why. Now there are some possible solutions to this problem if you're looking to play Ultimate Edition HD at 60 FPS that have been [URL='https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Resident_Evil_4_Ultimate_HD_Edition#Issues_unresolved']outlined on PC Gaming Wiki[/URL], but from personal experience (especially on this obsolete computer), I cannot promise that it will fix them entirely since the problem cropped back up even today. Some other players with computers better than mine also reported similar problems, so that says to me that QLOC did a half-assed job optimizing and porting the game over from the Xbox 360 version (which itself was ported from Wii edition that was also ported from the GameCube version with the PlayStation 2 version's extra content added with a few other tweaks like making the P.R.L. 412 OP as all hell compared to the PlayStation 2 port). For anyone looking to play Ultimate Edition Edition on PC, I would highly recommend installing re4_tweaks (which is included with HD Project), it fixes other various issues with the Steam version like the missing blur and DoF effects from the GameCube version, fixes some high framerate bugs, disables a visual filter that was introduced since the 7th generation ports that was supposed to add a glow effect to fire source but ended up making the game more brown instead, cleans up the visuals so it looks sharper, and other quality-of-life features. Alternatively, emulating the GameCube version or the Wii edition might be a viable option if your computer is powerful enough for that and some fans have ported over the textures from HD Project and made texture packs for Dolphin if you wish to enhance the graphics as well.
