Resident Evil Requiem has just been named Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2026 (November 11), and many PC players are picking it up again or for the first time. Two PC topics keep coming back in Capcom’s official notes: path tracing performance, which Capcom fixed issues with on March 6, 2026, and DualSense adaptive triggers and vibration, added on PC by the May 8, 2026 update but only after changing a Steam setting. How does it go on your PC?

What the official sources say (read on November 12, 2026):
- Update of March 6, 2026: “Issues related to path tracing performance have been fixed”, along with visual issues caused by upscaling. The March 27 update fixed visual bugs with some GPU drivers and a crash “in some circumstances”.
- Steam page: Windows 11 64-bit and an SSD are required; the recommended configuration (RTX 2060 Super 8 GB or RX 6600 8 GB) targets 1080p at 60 fps with upscaling from a native 720p. Capcom does not say what hardware path tracing needs in the requirements we read.
- DualSense on PC (Capcom’s official Steam troubleshooting thread): cable required for vibration, then in Steam Big Picture, Settings, Controller, set PlayStation Controller Support to Not Enabled; the Create button then stops working (use the touchpad). If vibration is silent, set the DualSense audio channel to Quadraphonic in Windows Sound settings. Capcom’s Steam FAQ (updated July 22, 2026) still lists these features as not compatible.
Questions for players:
- Do you play with path tracing on? Which GPU, VRAM, driver version, resolution and upscaler (DLSS, FSR or other) do you use, and what frame rate do you get in a demanding area?
- Did the March 6 update change anything for you with path tracing, or the March 27 update for crashes and visual bugs?
- Did the DualSense adaptive triggers and vibration work after setting PlayStation Controller Support to Not Enabled? Wired only, or did anything work over Bluetooth?
- Did you have to change the Quadraphonic audio channel setting to get vibration?
- Is anyone still trying to run it on Windows 10, even though the Steam page lists Windows 11 as required? What happened?
Please share your Windows version (Settings, System, About), GPU, driver and in-game settings. Do not post account details or full system reports.
