Resident Evil Village has been a huge success so far. It's well on its way to becoming the best-selling Resident Evil game of all time, beating out its predecessor, Resident Evil Biohazard, by a decent amount - based on sales numbers for the first weeks after its initial launch.
What is most surprising about this is that Village continues to rack up sales despite having problems on the PC.
Why is a Resident Evil Village PC performance fix necessary?
Denuvo is a games protection and anti-piracy technology used by developers to prevent their games from being tampered with and pirated on the PC.
While the intention of Denuvo is all well and good as it protects studios and their investments, it often comes at the expense of poor performance. The negative impact on performance can vary from game to game and person to person. However, in the case of Resident Evil Village, the vast majority seem to agree that the anti-piracy measure is causing the game to freeze or stutter if not crash entirely.
