Cracked Resident Evil Village runs better than the licensed version
Digital Foundry found that the cracked, Denuvo-free Resident Evil Village runs more stably than the licensed version. Capcom is preparing a patch.
Our colleagues atDigital Foundry (1.16 million subscribers) benchmarked the cracked version of the hit horror game Resident Evil Village and compared the results to the licensed version. According to their tests, Resident Evil Village runs significantly more stably without its built-in Denuvo copy protection than the Steam version.
The biggest differences between the two versions are seen in Lady Dimitrescu's castle, where the cracked version runs smoothly and maintains a consistently stable FPS:

Given the data from the image and video above, a natural question arises: why hasn't Capcom, the game's developer, acknowledged the problem and provided a fix in the nearly three months since the game's PC release?
However, perhaps in response to the cracked version's release, Capcom today confirmed an upcoming patch for Resident Evil Village. It's unclear what exactly this update will address, but there's a slim chance the developers will remove Denuvo copy protection from the game.
