Resident Evil 2 and 3 patch adds missing raytracing options back to the games
Capcom has released a patch for Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 that returns raytracing to the game.
Earlier this week, the company released an update for the remakes which removed raytracing options without an explanation.
Turns out, the removal was unintended, and Capcom has now patched raytracing back into the games.

Capcom promises the return of Resident Evil 2 and 3’s vanished graphics and audio options
Ray tracing is coming back to the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes
Ray tracing is coming back to the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes on PC, according to Capcom. That’s after the graphical option was quietly removed from both games this past week, following a recent update. Fans had been wondering if the move was deliberate or not, but Capcom’s announcement seems to confirm that it was just a mishap. So, zombie slayers should be able to go back to running around in realistically lit corridors full of shadowy corners very soon.
Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami gives verdict on RE4 Remake
Shinji Mikami is one of those game-makers who, whatever they’re working on, I’ll basically always be interested. Creator and director on the original Resident Evil, Mikami also directed Dino Crisis, The Evil Within, and, of course, the 2005 RE4. Mikami has a pretty strong horror game pedigree, is what I’m saying – I trust the guy. And now he’s officially finished playing Resident Evil 4 Remake and offered his opinion. What does the master make of the apprentice?

Resident Evil 2 and 3 missing ray tracing options will be addressed in future update
In a recent update to the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3, the ray tracing options for the Steam versions of the games were quietly removed.
This led to plenty of players being confused as to why the options were suddenly gone. Capcom did not comment, at the time, on why ray tracing had been removed from both games. This led players to obviously theorise that some sort of bug had occurred, or mistake had been made, considering the console versions of the game retained the option.
Today, Capcom tweeted via the Resident Evil Twitter account to let players know it is aware of the issue, and that it’ll be addressed in a future update. The developer did not share why the issue had occurred, but has at least confirmed that ray tracing options – as well as a missing 3D Audio Option – will be addressed soon.
Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remake’s raytracing options are gone, but Capcom hasn’t said why
In a recent update for the remakes of both Resident Evil 2 and 3, Capcom has removed raytracing options for the games, but no one’s quite sure why.
Last week players noticed that the most recent update for the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes took out any options related to raytracing in the PC versions of the game, without an explanation for doing so. This was pointed out by Reddit user pmc64 on the pcgaming subreddit, who noted that both games are “still DirectX 12,” but the options are now missing, alongside the Dolby Atmos for headphones setting in Resident Evil 3 specifically.
No one knows why raytracing options have been removed from both games, and Capcom hasn’t provided a comment on the matter. It could be that some kind of bug has arisen, but it’s not exactly common to remove a feature that many PC gamers opt for so unceremoniously like that. Players have been speculating the reasoning behind the removal, some believing that it could just be a mistake, others noting that the console versions still have their raytracing options. We’ll just have to wait and see if Capcom says anything on the matter, or if it just as quietly adds them back in.
CHICAGO MOTHMAN? Two Flying Cryptids Recorded by City Resident (VIDEO)
May 2019 / Chicago, Illinois, U.S. / May 2019. Ken Ross was sitting on his front porch in Chicago, Illinois enjoying the day when he and his neighbor looked up and noticed a black amorphous unidentified flying object in the sky. After watching it for some time, Ken broke out his cell phone and began recording. What he captured is truly bizarre.
In the video, a huge dark shape can be seen flying around in the cloud-covered sky from right to left. It is soon joined by a second smaller entity that looks just like it. Ken and his neighbor can be heard talking in the background, noting its funny shape, and how slow and erratic it’s moving. “That’s no helicopter. There are two of them! One of them is following the other one. The other one is way up there,” Ken can be heard to say.
At first, they appear to be solid but then they start to change shape in real time becoming almost cryptid-looking, with visible moving wings. Ken’s tape was featured on an episode ‘Paranormal Caught on Camera’ which aired on July 12, 2020. He was interviewed about what he filmed: “I was in awe. We jumped off the porch and were like man, a UFO, you know what I’m saying? So it was something exciting to us… to bear witness to something like that. We’re from an urban area of Chicago… it was something shocking. For us to witness something, you know, you hear about it all the time in rural places, you know, Wyoming, Arizona, some places like that, but in Chicago… east side of Chicago? It was something strange and unknown.”
On whether or not it was some type of conventional object, Ken was adamant that it wasn’t. “It wasn’t nothing man-made as far as airplane, you know, helicopter, balloon or anything like that, even the way it was moving and the distance that it was flying, it wasn’t a drone.”According to Ken, the objects hovered overhead for about 30 minutes before disappearing into some clouds.
The ‘Paranormal Caught on Camera’ hosts were equally confused by what they were seeing. Host Sapphire Sandalo (of the ‘Something Scary Podcast’) noted that its shape was “very peculiar”. She added, “It doesn’t look like a plane or a helicopter, like something recognizable. It’s also too big to be a bird. The way that it’s moving, it looks like it’s moving very very fast across the sky.”
Host Derek Hayes (of the ‘Monsters Among Us Podcast’) pointed out its seeming shape-shifting ability: “These dark objects seem to change shape every couple frames. I don’t know if it’s a tumbling object or if it’s just so weirdly shaped that every little corner looks different but its definitely disorienting.”
Mark Screuman (of ‘Weird NJ’ Magazine) doubted that it was the usual culprit in these types of cases – a drone. “Drones usually, you know, they’re level, and they move around. These things seem to be, like, all over the place.”
Host Rachel Evans wondered if they might actually be creatures of some type. “It looked like a cryptid to me. Did you see that it was in motion and that its shape of it was moving with the motion? It seemed to be flapping in some weird way.”
Host Aaron Sagers (of the ‘Talking Strange Podcast’) went one step further, wondering if Ken’s sighting was somehow connected to the Chicago Phantom sightings. “I’m gonna go out on a limb here. This is a little bit crazy but there have been Mothman sightings in Chicago. I don’t know who is flying over those skies but that was what came to mind when I was watching this.”
