Key points

PC Port Report by TotalBiscuit
Capcom has offered some support for crashing.
Currently considered as an overly taxing and badly optimized port.
Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS by default[1] although this can easily be removed -- see High frame rate.

Essential improvements

Flawless Widescreen's Dead Rising 3 plug-in can be used to increase the game's FOV.

SLI support

By default the NVIDIA profile does not have SLI compatibility bits for the game. If you have a SLI setup on your computer and would like to improve your general performance you might want to enable SLI support.
Instructions

Note: Some random guy (me) says "I used SLI compatibility bits (DX1x) to 0x00000004 (Need For Speed: The Run etc) and I don't get any flickering."

Field of view (FOV)

The latest version of Flawless Widescreen has a plug-in for Dead Rising 3 that can be used to increase the game's field of view. At 47, the default FOV for this game is very low.

Issues unresolved

Random desktop crashes

For Nvidia users, try rolling back to the 335.23 drivers. Also try disabling Shader cache in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Nvidia Optimus Switchable Graphics

As a work around, try connecting the laptop to a second monitor. For Windows 8.1 users, try disabling Secureboot in the BIOS.

Performance issues

The game performs poorly on most of the last gen GPUs, and needs proper optimization.

Issues fixed

Crash on boot issue
