Performance Issues on Steam Version of ‘Resident Evil Village’ Solved by Hacking Group
For those who own Resident Evil Village on Steam, you’ve probably noticed at some point performance hiccups while playing the game. It turns out that the performance issues are a side effect of Capcom’s use of DRM protection. How do we know? A hacking group was able to fix the issues by cracking the game.
As reported by DSOGaming, a hacking group known as Empress successfully cracked Village and circumvented Capcom’s anti-tamper V3 protection, as well as the Denuvo security. By doing so, the game no longer suffers from stutters when killing zombies, watching cutscenes and other problem areas.
However, it would seem that the cracked version isn’t perfect. As noted in the video below, while the game does run smoother, animations are now missing when the players are attacked by Cassandra Dimitrescu. Still, one hopes that Capcom will eventually decide to remove the code that’s causing the performance issues.
After all, how else are players going to enjoy their mods effectively?
Resident Evil Village is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and Google Stadia.

“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” explains Atari chief creative officer Mike Mika. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage—bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
