Issues fixed[edit]
'Jill Bug'[edit]
- While playing with Jill the image freezes during the encounter with Barry after killing the first monster. This bug is active when your computer's performance is too high for your game requirements. To prevent this from happening it is necessary to decrease the FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency to reach a value that does not cause problems with the game, usually 100Mhz or 66Mhz. It is the frequency of the FSB clock that will determine how will the performance of the motherboard and processor of a machine. For those who do not have hardware with this configuration capability a less efficient alternative is to use software specialized in occupying processor resources to slow the execution of applications, known as 'cpu killer'.
'Failed to initialize the Graphic Hardware Device.(3)' error[edit]
| Use Peixoto's patch[citation needed] |
|---|
'The game would only be able to run only when Windows95' error[edit]
Enable the following compatibility settings for the CHECKER.EXE, LAUNCH.EXE, RESIDENTEVIL.EXE, and SETUP.EXE files: Compatibility mode (Windows 95)[citation needed] |
|---|
| Use Gemini's Classic REbirth patch[citation needed] |
|---|
Installing the game[edit]
- During installation, the installer goes fullscreen like many 90's era installers did. An error message sometimes appears behind the fullscreen installer background. The error itself isn't a problem, but clicking 'OK' requires using Alt+Tab ↹ or Ctrl+Alt+Del (and enter Task Manager) to be able to see said error. This might take a few tries since it's such a wonky process.
- This game is from an era where PC games asked what graphics card you had, and the list is very small and outdated. Pick the card that looks and runs best on your machine.
- By using the Classic REbirth patch, you do not need to install the game - it is made completely portable as it does not require Windows Registry information. By doing this, it is also possible to completely skip Graphics Card selection.
