'''Key points'''
 
−
{{--}} Many players report that the game is always using 100% of cpu all the time for no reason, causing high fan noise and heat, see fix below.
 
−
{{--}} The game has some breaks in story mode. The case is a lot worse in raid mode where weaker machines experience some breaks that last 1-2 seconds while action is still running and because of this it turns the gameplay inconsistent and unfair.

+
{{++}} Unlocks all available display resolutions with added support for ultrawide aspect ratios.
−
{{ii}} Conflicts with the [[#DualShock Button Prompts|DualShock Button Prompts]]. Fix [http://residentevilmodding.boards.net/thread/5169/playstation-button-mod here].
+
{{++}} Makes local split-screen co-op mode fill entire screen.

 +
{{++}} Uncaps FPS when the Frame Rate option is set to Variable.

# On you current power plan (or any other if you want) click "Change plan settings"

# Click "Change advanced power settings", a window will pop in
 
−
# Scroll down to "Processor energy management" and then open it
 
−
# Then you'll want to change "Minimum processor state" and "Maximum processor state" to 0% (this will limit your processor clock rate, in my case from 3GHz to 1.2GHz without causing any performance drops to the game)
 
−
# Click apply and then exit.
 
−
 
 
−
{{ii}} After you exit the game do not forget to change "Maximum processor state" back to 100%.
 
−
{{ii}} This fix won't lower the performance of the game if the clock rate is not too low.
 
−
{{ii}} This can be also done with processor management softwares too.
