Resident Evil 8 Pirates Claim That Removing DRM Fixes PC Problems

While Resident Evil Village shines on PS5 and Xbox Series X, the PC version stumbles in a few areas – most notably with recurring stuttering issues in busier scenes. After cracking the game, pirates claim that the issue is being caused by Village's own anti-piracy DRM.

DSO Gaming reports that the piracy group, EMPRESS, has discovered the issue that was causing issues in Resident Evil Village, claiming that Capcom's own anti-tamper V3 and Denuvo V11 were the reason why the PC version was plagued with in-game stuttering.

DSO Gaming states that it played over two hours of EMPRESS' cracked version of the game and did not experience any stuttering while playing. This includes a section early in the game set in the catacombs of Castle Dimitrescu, which is known to cause widespread stuttering when killing enemies.

While this version of the game appears to offer a smoother experience, it is important to note that this is a pirated version of the game. There is currently no legal way to play a DRM-free version of Resident Evil Village on PC. While it's not clear whether it's Capcom or Denuvo's DRM (or a combination of both) that could be causing the issues, Denuvo Anti-Tamper has long been accused of causing game performance issues.

We have reached out to Capcom for a statement.
