Resident Evil: Revelations 2 |OT| Yeah, but it's only $25

They said yesterday a PC patch for performance was releasing in a few days. Here's hoping.

Yeah, its the one thing thats put me off buying the whole season. With an i7 and a 970 i still get dips into single digit framerates when using barrys sniper scope, its ridiculous

her new outfit has a lot of re-used assets actually, haha.
her pants are from her rev2 model, the shirt is a modified version sherry's re6 asia one without a scarf and the goggles that she's wearing are straight up from jill's REmake alt costume
And it looks so much better than the sum of its parts! <3

also i learned that the dog enemies have a rare grab attack that reveals a really grotesque aspect to them: their mouth isn't actually on the head that is sewed on but rather located in their neck. their head flips like a pez dispenser to reveal sawtooth teeth
Yeah, I encountered this recently, as well. Truly nasty attack!
 
I was avoiding most of the E4 spoilers, but the bonus episodes downloaded first and for some reason it unlocks

*LE SIGH*
On another note, I'm closer to getting

in Raid mode...How people got him in the first week is beyond me.

358mb Steam patch up

Only patch notes

Reduced overhead and optimized rendering performance. (Full-screen mode recommended for better performance)​

Going to test a few areas of Resident Evil Revelations 2 with the PC Performance patch that has given me difficulty, come back with a report how it works for me in a bit.

the patch didn't fix the PC version's glitch in the final boss fight... ffs capcom.
do i really need to make a thread about this?

but yeah the performance is smooth now. straight 60fps from dips into the teens beforehand/constant 10fps in snow/fire stages

Are you referring to the bug where the game doesn't let you move? The first time I tried the fight it worked fine, but then encountered the bug on every subsequent attempt. I'm able to do the fight now with this patch, but it could just be a coincidence...

Okay, PC performance patch did help definitely. the part in Claire's episode 3 where they're in the burning factory and you have a time limit, which used to run like, 10-20 fps for me, now runs a perfect 60fps.

That's awesome. It was the part that concerned me the most.

Also can confirm that one Raid Mode stage in the snow from RE6 that used to lag me and I know many others back also now runs pretty smoothly (not perfect 60fps, but ran 40-50 fps, which is better than the previous 15-25 it supported).

Not all issues are fixed though, game still has that stuttering when loading issue for me, the thing where when it first loads an area the game has some freezes for the first 5 - 15 seconds. But, progress!

Edit: The stuttering may be amplified by me rendering out two videos in Sony Vegas, will test again when no longer having my computers CPU being consumed by that. XD;
 
Started the struggle on survival yesterday but only played until the first checkpoint, I'm curious to see if it's really as hard as people say, hope I don't get frustrated lol.

Wow, this is good to hear.

Perfomance patch helped a lot. There is still some stutter at the beginning of the match when you fire a gun for the first time in raid mode but otherwise it runs much better.

Hi guys. Just to confirm, the 4th and final episode of Raid Mode is out, but we'll have to wait until March 31st to play online coop?

The performance patch is out for PC and it's pretty great. Solid 60fps on every raid stage for me now.

Thank god! When I played through the mines area on Barry's Episode 3, the framerate chugged like crazy, yet everything before then was 60fps or above. For anyone who has played that portion, the end of it gets pretty crazy and trying to deal with the challenge along with a poop framerate really sucked.

I also get the sniper scope issue with the framerate dropping drastically when trying to snipe.

I was playing through the game, but the poor rendering issues annoyed the hell out of me. At least now I should be able to enjoy the rest of the game with a solid framerate.

By the way, can anyone tell me how long those two bonus episodes are? Trying to get a feel of how long it'll take me to finish this game. I want to be done with the campaign before Bloodborne drops.

Yeah this is one of the best Resident Evils I've ever played. That whole end scene with Barry
walking away from the helicopter with the slow motion and the one liners,
fuck I don't think I've had as big a smile on my face playing a game once this gen. Best game I've played on my PS4.

Revelations 3 please.

Also damn Sniper Claire is best Claire. I need to find a good picture of her so I can make an avatar.
 
I played the first episode of the PC version last night with my wife (she had too much fun throwing bricks at enemies). The local co-op works perfectly. I don't know if there's a way to display a map of the area full-screen, but I enjoyed exploring and backtracking through areas with a tiny bit of help from the objective marker somewhere in the corner of the minimap. The melee is good enough, don't understand the complaints. It feels like the developers were going for a 50/50 split between classic tank-control survival horror RE and 3rd person action-horror RE, and over the top melee moves would disturb that balance. That said, would be nice if you could have a melee prompt after shooting them in the leg (maybe there is a prompt and I haven't seen it yet). Really fun, loving the level design and atmosphere, looking forward to the rest of the game.
 
Sooo this may have been answered before but what is the fastest, easiest way to get
the good ending?
Just start from the beginnen of Episode 3 and keep going? I was just gonna watch it on YouTube but then noticed there's an entire
gameplay-segment
so I kinda want to experience it for myself now.

I've you're already up to Barry's Ep 4 - just beat Claire's ep 3 again, quit when you finish it the other way, and then load Barry's ep 4 and beat it. All there is to it.

speed run on casual Claire's episode 3 skipping all the fights you can and just beat the boss doing what you need to do to set up the good ending...took me 24 minutes...

Started playing Chapter 4. Fell off the outside of the tower like 4 times. 5th death was Claire trying to outrun the countdown and running right into a glasp. Frickin' BS. Heh

But yea Claire's stuff was SHORT.

Part way through Barry's right now. Only death so far was Nat instead of walking across the single plank bridge she decided to jump off of it into the abyss.

Looking forward to playing some more, but not looking forward the "bad ending" I know I'm going to get.

I took some screenshots of the hot new look a certain character has at the end. Reminds me of

rolled into one.

After I've been singing praises for this game, there had to something in it that pisses me off.... The struggle... seriously, who's fucking idea was it to have this limited respawn ability? I thought I was finally in the clear when I finished the first session of huge waves, and then it sends me on a stealthy area to find more food, and I couldn't find jack shit...so the next encounter I had I didn't have any more respawns available, and barely any ammo, because an ammo literally spotted me through a wall when I was hunting, so I had to haul my ass out of there before I could find anything.

Fuck this shit

Well, I think whole point of The Struggle was to be a more challenging bunch of maps, so...

Other than like, 1 namedrop, absolutely not

Also, I finally started Ep2 today (been busy) and man, game hits all the right notes (^_____^)
The Rev 1 connection goes much deeper than what you've seen so far, starting in Episode 3. But anyone can read up on that game and follow along just fine.

Yesss this performance patch!! I can't wait to go home and redo all those missions without having to fear every time a room was too foggy or too much fire. Also the classic claire outfit is sooooo gooooooooddddddddddd

I think I'll only use this.
