Resident Evil - Revelations is Unplayable

#1

Issue:
Basically, the game does not play and I did check the compatibility list! The intro FMV is very choppy and slow. Then the game either plays in the background of a black screen or just locks up to a black screen.

Please understand that performance is dependent on your level of hardware.

Reproduce the issue again, close citra and don’t open it again, open the folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Citra\log and upload your log again.

I let the FMV play out fully this time:

Download and install the latest driver available for your GPU, to avoid black screens disable ‘Enable Hardware Shader’ (before launching the game).

#8

Disabling the Hardware Shader does, in fact, remove the black screen. Unfortunately though, the game still runs very slowly. :slightly_frowning_face:

Your driver is outdated, update to this driver: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28289/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10
then follow this guide to install it: https://www.howtogeek.com/343287/how-to-fix-the-driver-being-installed-is-not-validated-for-this-computer-on-intel-computers/

There is a newer DCH driver but you will most likely need to update to the previous driver using the links above first in order to use the installer for future updates.
