I tried install again, but this time I didn't run the setup from within the folder, I just did the autorun. Now I have regedit files, I seem to have more than you though. http://imgur.com/a/3OAZF
EDIT- Same problem occurs however.
EDIT- I feel as if I have exhausted all my options and haven't got anywhere. Might be time to call it quits. Even the bandaid fix couldn't hit 30FPS. Would stay at 29FPS most of the time but would drop as low as 20! Reminded me of playing PS3/PS4 games that claim to be locked 30FPS, Haha! I think I'll look into PSPemu as a plan B cause I really enjoy classic REs on keyboard.
By the way, thanks for your help, even though we couldn't find a solution I appreciate you taking time to try.
I'm curious, but is there actually a fix or is it just that most runners are streaming/recording so they get the benefit of the bandaid fix that is running OBS? Can anyone actually run RE2 PC all by itself and have it maintain 30FPS on a modern PC?
I uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the bio2.exe and replaced it with the fix. Still gave me the same problem. The 1.1 patch link doesn't work anymore, the file has been removed. I'll skip that for now as I am still confused about patch 1.1 and exactly how it works. I have downloaded the patch somewhere, and it came with 4 files. bio2.exe, readme, a random file named update that I can't do anything with, and an update exe. I open the update exe and am presented with a bunch of gibberish since I don't have a jp language pack installed (assuming). I have two things I can do, hit the box with "??" and close it, or hit the box with "?????????" and go to a new screen that I cannot get passed and eventually have to close.( Picture of the screen http://imgur.com/a/1pXR0 ) I also tried to use the bio2.exe the patch came with but still get the 25FPS problem. On to the regedit issues now. I opened regedit and found the Biohazard 2 folder. You have way more entries than I do, I only have 4. Here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/a/znC4p Do I need to be installing the game as an admin?
I have spent the last two evenings trying to troubleshoot RE2 (sourcenext) FPS problems and have solved nothing. The game just doesn't feel very good and FRAPS showed that it is locking at 25FPS. I have tried compatibility options, and running as admin. I have even tried to make my GPU actually try to work when the game is running but it only gave me 1 extra FPS. The only thing that sort of works is having a stream on in the background, or something similar. This gives me 29FPS but suffers FPS drops all the way down to 22. This worries me as I feel like I have looked everywhere and there isn't one single real solution to it. I don't know if it means much, but RE3 (mediakite) runs flawless. I read that I should try to install patch 1.1 and I'm not sure if that did anything. I'm also not sure if it even installed correctly though. Clicking on update doesn't actually seem to do anything, but clicking the bio2 exe loads the game. Not sure if that means it loaded patch 1.1 or not as I can't find anywhere to verify which version. I really don't know where to go from here. Supposed to be learning Leon A any% route this weekend with my friend who is a big RE console guy. Going to feel like a complete idiot after hyping up the PC version all week. I can hear him now, "So this is the big great PC version everyone runs, eh?" Maybe I'll tell some lies, "Oh yeah, actually 25FPS is optimal, you are just not used to it." T.T
