The game runs on my core-m fanless laptop... at 800x600 resolution, but still surprised that it works!
Anyway that I can use this resolution but make it fill the display?

edit: Okay, I just set the resolution to 1080P and changed the resolution scaling to 0.5. The game seems quite different from any other resident evil that I have played, has a silent hill vibe to it.

massive performance improvement with HBAO+ enabled with the patch...now SSAO (the non-variable one) and HBAO+ are close to the same as far as frames goes
I always had that issue. Was immediately noticable for me on the lampshade near the mirror.
Gonna boot this up again to check out HBAO.

Isn't that what the colorspace setting is?

Fantastic news. Maximum settings, 1440p, 120fps ... I'm ready.

no.
It's SRGB or BT.709. (which is standard TV colorspace). HDR color space would be BT.2020.. the game also doesn't trigger HDR mode on my tv, unlike say.. Shadow Warrior 2.
I'm seeing these white dots flickering in some textures. I tried changing some settings, makes no difference. But they are more visible when I use smaa for some reason.
Glad someone posted this. I'm not the only one, though mine are much more pronounced while in smaa mode. When i switch back to something else they're gone, but then the texture quality doesn't appear as nice :/ hopefully the smaa issues don't appear for me in the final game.
Ah, aliasing "shimmer." Those could be addressed by driver updates, depends if Nvidia/AMD change something.
(Or you could try and mess with Nvidia Inspector and change the AA method and game identification.)

So I finally got around to playing the updated demo on my PC last night, and really loved the new content they added. Basically, this is a super effective demo as it completely sold me on the game.
One quick question though, I know the murder mystery puzzles have been solved, and I can easily find the solutions online. For the first couple, I even understand why you point the dummy hand where you point it at. But the last three riddles seem incredibly obtuse. Hell, even how you trigger the one with
seems like complete luck for someone to find.
Anyone got a link to how these riddles were found, and why the answers are what they are? Specifically,
answer makes no sense to me based off the riddle

That's old, and more than likely nothing more than a little Easter egg. Another VHS tape has the SLUS for Resident Evil 3 with Dino Crisis demo.
Wouldn't be surprised if every VHS has an RE game slus code

Are you forcing AF from the Nvidia/AMD control panel? I've seen something similar happen in other games because of this, but no guarantee it's the case here.

Damn my interest from this game went from "oh right, a new RE game has been announced, always forget" to "this is becoming one of the longest wait eveeer" after playing that demo. I need it so bad.

What's with Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour demo getting updated so often? It got updated few weeks ago and now it got updated again. What did they add or change each time?
