Updates:

Patch #1 Release Notes (Jan. 27th)
Community Announcements - WBacon [capcom]

The following issues have been addressed in today's update:

- Fixed an issue where saving game progress was no longer possible if the player deleted the local save file while Steam Cloud has been turned off.

- Fixed an issue where HDR mode is turned back to ON upon app launch if the player quits the prior game session in full screen mode and with HDR set to OFF.

Latest drivers: (as at 24/01/2017)
Nvidia: 378.49
AMD: 17.1.1
Intel: Depends on your processor; download the driver update tool

Benchmarks:

Tips and tricks:

For Nvidia users: Apparently driver version 378.49 gives a nice performance boost.

Cap the framerate/potentially improve frametimes: Download RivaTuner Statistics Server, input your desired framerate limit in the "Framerate limit" box, and hit enter (the program comes bundled with MSI Afterburner and earlier versions of EVGA PrecisionX). Those with an Nvidia GPU and a desire to run the game at a value equal to half their refresh rate (e.g. 30fps on a 60Hz monitor) may also want to try forcing half-refresh rate vsync via Nvidia Inspector as per this visual guide (click the small tool icon to open the driver profile section).
Note: Useful if you your system can't maintain, say, 60fps and you're sensitive to the wild fluctuations, or you're experiencing uneven frametimes. The greater window the engine has to render a given frame, if you're imposing a lower framerate than the game can otherwise provide, may also help in alleviating stuttering related to data streaming.

Stop the game from crashing after 15 minutes on touch-capable systems running Windows 10: Open the task manager, switch to the Services tab and disable TabletInputService.

Pixelated surfaces: As for today (release date), this is a bug when the "Reflections" setting is set to "On". Setting it to "Variable" fixes the issue.

VPN unlocking:

To unlock it early via VPN, for those in Japan:

1) Log out of the Steam mobile app and change your password via the the desktop client
1) Download and install FlyVPN (20-minute session limit) TunnelBear (500MB data limit), VPN Gate (no hard limits) or VyprVPN (500MB bandwidth limit).
3) Connect to a server that isn't in Japan
4) Restart Steam (if you're logged in)
5) Unlock the game
6, optional) Switch to Offline Mode to preserve the "Play" button as it will revert back to "Pre-load" once you're no longer connected to the VPN (even if you disconnect mid-game, you won't be booted out)

Note that this won't work for the uncensored(?) version of the game as it's a separate app.

im pretty sure i got better performance than that graph on my 1070 at 1440p. might have been only on high settings, though. we'll find out soon enough and ill report back.

I believe that those graphs were released before the patch optimizing HBAO+ performance.

the demo ran at 60fps 1440p no problem with a 980ti, everything maxed out, not sure were the results from the OP come from.

Pretty sure this will run great. The demo ran perfectly for me. Granted it's on a 1070 at 1080p, but I played too many shitty ports lately (dishonored 2, Hitman, watch dogs 2) that's it's not exactly a given that it will run well.

demo was going over 100 fps on my 480 after I switched HBAO+ to SSAO. Feels real good on a high refresh rate monitor.

Well, quick and dirty but I'm running everything at its highest at 1080p with CA and motion blur off due to hating them both and I'm getting a locked 60fps so far. Very early in of course. Running on an i5 4690 4.2ghz and a GTX 970 overclocked.

However some of the textures even early on are shockingly awful.

Edit: also getting some strange shadow flickering on the leaves when I walk around, noticed it on the side of a house too. It's very odd.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Update:
Turned off shadow cache, put shadows to high and reflections to off, now I can hit 4K 60fps resolution scaling 1 with interlaced rendering. Hdr causes black crush and non hdr is still washed out.

Already coming across an issue with my 65ks8000. The playable area won't fill up the screen Unless at native res of 3840x2160.

Win 10 64bit
I7-3770k
1070

Newest nvidia drivers

Running everything at max
HDR
3840x2160
Interlaced rendering
Resolution scale .8

60fps.

Looks soft as hell, in game v-sync causes massive input lag.

Here's the bug of it not filling up the screen at 1440p (yes I've tried increasing the playable area slider)

Game started in HDR mode in 1080p@24fps. I shut HDR mode off and now the game is extremely washed out, even with the brightness set to minimum. I'm playing in a 1440p gsync monitor, I don't know what's going on.

Nah, I didn't reserve it, but I had intended to post one after the game unlocked (and almost did until I thought to refresh the first page of the forum and saw this one, haha). It's all good, though!

Running fine for me at max with my i5 4690k and 980ti. Running at a constant 60fps at 1440p for me.

The demo flickered on my PC and was dark to the point that it was impossible to see in some areas.

Never had that happen before or after the RE7 demo.

Yeah this is really bothering me. Some of the mud and foliage and stuff looks really really bad. Anyone else seeing this or is something wrong?

Game is running pretty damn good for me. Shrunk down these 4k Screenshots to not kill people's bandwidths.

4K / FXAA+TAA / HBAO+ Everything else maxed. Getting 78-80 outside.

I'm seeing the low res texture as well.

There seem to be a delay in mouse movement. Not sure if it's intended to be that way or it's a conversion thing from controller.

So I can't get the game to run at all. Gtx980 i54690k. It tries to launch, but it launches in a small window, it gets to splash screen eventually, and then freezes.

Edit: just got it to work finally but it runs in a teeny little window, even when set to full screen. Wtf.

Check the refresh rate your game is set to. Mine was set to 24 Hz when I started it.

Word on if this supports / will support HDR?

I heard Capcom said it would but apparently it doesn't as of now?
