Resident Evil Requiem March 4th Patch Release Notes
The primary focus of this update is addressing path tracing performance and GPU-specific stability:
- Performance Optimisation: Resolves a bug that caused significant frame rate drops (up to 16% on some systems) when using RTX 40 and 50 series graphics cards.
- OTA Profile Update: NVIDIA confirmed an over‑the‑air (OTA) profile update was pushed for GeForce Driver 595.71 to fix power draw issues specifically in Resident Evil Requiem.
- Stability Fixes: Addressed intermittent application crashes and “system freezes” that occurred under certain hardware configurations.
- UI Experience Polish: Improved the localisation UI, including dynamic resizing for text boxes to prevent text overflow in different languages.
Platform Specifics
- Steam Deck: While the game was initially listed as “Unsupported”, community reports indicate it can now achieve a stable 40 FPS using FSR 3 Balanced Mode following recent engine-side optimisations.
- Driver Recommendation: If you are still experiencing issues, ensure you are on Nvidia Driver 595.71 or later and restart your PC to force the new profile update to take effect.
