Issues fixed

Black screen when launching the game

One cause may be NVIDIA'S Vertical sync setting.
Disable Vertical sync in NVIDIA Control Panel
  1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to Manage 3D settings.
  3. Set Vertical sync to either Use the 3D application setting or Off.

If this solves the issue, you can create an exception for this game in the Program Settings tab. That way, you can have Vertical sync enabled globally for your other games, but have it disabled only for this game.

Character can't move on last boss battle

After the video before the last boss, the character may stop responding to the player's inputs.
Use Resident Evil Revelations 2 Fusion Fix[2]

Poor performance or slowdowns

The mod below used for RE HD Remaster may help improve performance and fix stuttering. Especially at high resolutions
Apply frame rate fix[4]
  1. Download Resident Evil HD Remaster fps fix
  2. Copy d3d9.dll to the installation folder.
There is another mod (not compatible with the one above) that disables certain rendering features to improve performance on less-capable systems.
Apply Performance Boost mod[5]
  1. Download the mod from the linked thread.
  2. Copy d3d9.dll and varshare.dll to the installation folder.

Title screen with Biohazard text and audio

Despite the name "Biohazard" being intended only for Japan, several copies of this game have Biohazard text and announcer voice on the start screen. This mod substitutes relevant textures and audio files to fix this, for those who prefer the international name.
Apply title screen fix[6]
  1. Download the mod from the linked thread.
  2. Make a backup of the relevant game files if you wish
  3. Overwrite the original title screen texture and audio files with the ones from the mod
