If you've played the Resident Evil Village PC version, you most certainly had to endure the underlying stutters that plagued this version of the latest entry in CAPCOM's survival horror game series. These were most prominent during key moments in combat, such as shooting foes in melee range or even trying to get out of their attempts at grabbing the game's main character Ethan Winters. Even more egregious are the fights against Lady Dimitrescu's daughters, when the frame rate hitches are incredibly annoying regardless of your PC specifications.

Resident Evil Village PC was recently cracked, however, and it seems like the aforementioned stuttering issues are gone when playing without DRM. Digital Foundry confirmed this in a report published today. The game uses Denuvo DRM, which already came under fire for potentially affecting the performance of Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition but was ultimately cleared in that instance. In this case, though, CAPCOM also applied another DRM layer of its own making on top of Denuvo.
