windows 7 home edition CPU: AMD FX - 8350 - 8 core GPU: R9 270x amd radeon 16 gb ram

Had 3 different AMD systems and the game has always been fine for me

Edit; there was one time i had lag and i fixed it by switching compatibility mode from Xp Service pack 3 to service pack 2.

Spain

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit CPU: AMD FX 8320 3.50 GHz 8GB RAM GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB

I barely run RE3 mainly because I still use the scrub Sourcenext version (I know right?) and I'm clueless about making Mediakite work as intended on my PC. There's a step-by-step installation guide somewhere?

United States

Yeah I think stevenmayte has one on his youtube.

Windows 7 64 bit AMD FX8350 (4GHz 8 core) 16GB RAM EVGA GeForce GTX 970

I haven't really tried running the PC version seriously, and I don't know how to optimize door skips so I would be a terrible person to ask about AMD.

England

@zenix i have a tutorial for mediakite in the guide section of re3

Edit; apparently someone decided to remove my guide from the guides section.

I have no lag on my RE3 whatsoever, I run it in SP3 compatibility, and also added and disabled that motor option thingy, it's smooth as anything.

My computer is really weak, but there are my specs:

Windows 7 64 bit Intel Core i5-3740 (3.20GHz 4 core) 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce GT 630

I have lags when game has a lot of effects. Someone can help me how I can fix it? Game generate strange "shadows". Look at this:

i guess doorskipping would seem like lag for the doors that aren't instant skip and it explains where lost time is going, same thing with re2. i see a lot of re3 & 2 streams where people instant skip every door and wonder why sometimes it fades to black and other times it doesn't. i know i had no clue when i started out running, and i'm sure i sometimes skip wrongly even now.

I'm so stupid! Now works fine, thanks furrywulfz! <3

Spain

Well I was going to ask the same as Robercigg, that RGB emulation thing was destroying the fps so ty Furry. Now the game runs perfect and I can finally uninstall the shitty Sourcenext.

England

my GPU is AMD currently and so were my past 2 GPU'S > no issues for me at least

Current > AMD Radeon R9 270X can't remember what the other 2 were

Edit; i also had the same issue as you furry on my old dual core. i couldn't stream the game and have the SRT open due to lag spikes but it was fine with the SRT closed.

I used to have major lag in RE3 and the options i had to choose from ingame was RGB Emulation, GTX 970, GTX 970 and GTX 970. non of the options didnt help and the extra options were all disabled.

They way i fixed it was going into my GPU controlpanel and create a specific profile for RE3 and then set all the options to "Best Performance". Some of the options had to be set to "Best Quality" cause there were some graphical artifacts in the game other wise.

So if you've tried everything else then try to setup a specific profile in your GPU controlpanel.

Sweden

I could do a little guide for it tomorrow for Nvidia. Dont know about AMD but it should almost be the same as the Nvidia controlpanel.

Need to install the Mediakite version and hope that I get lag on the first try otherwise I'll try to create it. I never thought that I would actually try to cause issues to the game, always been the other way around. lol

Sweden

Installed the game yesterday and got the lag. Spended the rest of the day trying to fix it but nothing worked....

Tried every compability mode with and without admin, profile in nvidia panel didnt work. Only option i have for the graphics ingame is RGB emulation right now so I bet thats the problem.

I'll keep trying when I get home.

Sorry for being so late to the party, here is my setup:

how does your game run

Germany

Seems to run well most of the time, sometimes minor FPS problems for some reason. Though Dudley says the game seems to run a tiny bit slower than it could. There's no visible difference, at least not as far as I can see, though splits say something else. Even with a perfect start (perfect RNG, close to perfect lines), I've never had a sub 4:50 RPD, ever.

But I have to say I was surprised by my most recent PB. Sitting at 46:50 for any% atm.

Spain

As I said I could fix the game fps issues BUT... as soon as I open OBS the game goes back to run like shit ;_;

I stream at 720p / 3k bitrate, that and OBS being CPU heavy is probably leaving RE3 with nothing seeing how these old games are not optimized at all for multiple cores / high memory. On the other hand RE2 seems to run 99% of the time as it should (sometimes it runs in "PAL mode"). Curious enough I never had fps issues with RE3 Sourcenext (2006 release).

This case reminds me of Final Fantasy VII on PC, the slower your PC is the better the game is going to perform, but that is timed by RTA so it's a whole different matter.

Win7 HP i3 330m @2.13 4gb RAM Intel HD

Mediakite version

I use xsplit for when streaming RE3. The only time i ever get any "lag" as in fps loss is when i have too many things open for stream (like live split + hp display thing plus a input visual etc) aside from that the game runs fine if its just the game and the HP/timer or just the game and livesplit and chat.

I currently use 700kbp as my upload ¤Gasp¤ the only thing that changes in my streaming set up is what FPS i wanna use. If imma do 30/29.97 at 480/540 usually 432 and 50/60fps at 360

I do get a slight pause between camera changes when I first become Carlos. Other than that, the game runs fine. Just by looking at other peoples game, you can tell pretty easily if it runs bad of not. When I raced recently, I forgot to turn down my streaming settings. I was streaming at 2.5k 720p. Yet me and duds were neck and neck the entire run. I was somewhat a little bit ahead AND I was super rusty.

So I agree with liv. Turn down your streaming settigs if you want to get a good pc time. Turn down your settings.
