Video settings
Disable vignette
Resident Evil 2 has a very strong vignette. While some may feel being unable to see the left and right sides of the screen adds to the horror, others may feel it is annoyingly dark and like looking through a telescope. This is the game with vignette on and this is vignette off.
NOTE: The hex editing method still works for the final game, but the trainer does not.

Issues fixed
Main hall computer freeze
The computer in the main hall may cause the game to either freeze, or caused the screen to become grey, making it unplayable.
In the game's folder, find the file called re2_config.ini. Change the value for UseVendorExtention=Enable to Disable. However, this will also disable HDR.
Changing DirectX from 11 to 12 may also work, but this may cause microstutters and lower FPS for some.
Mouse/keyboard stops working
The mouse and keyboard may stop responding if you Alt+Tab out, or after a cutscene ends.
Try opening the Steam Overlay with Shift + Tab and close it.
Alternatively, try connecting a controller anyway if you have one.
No dialog audio
Try using a headset and set it as main device in Windows, or set your speakers to stereo in Windows settings.
Issues unresolved
Try changing from Directx 12 back to 11
Microstutter/framerate drops
Try increasing the texture quality to use 2GB or more of vram. It is set to .5GB by default.
Also try changing to fullscreen mode, not borderless fullscreen.
This may not fix for issue for all users.
Please note that the opening streets and RPD main hall seem to be highly demanding, and other areas are smoother.
Fatal Application Exit - renderdevicedx11.cpp error crash
This may occur when the helicopter comes. No known solution.
