Capcom fixes Resident Evil 2, 3 and 7 mods

You can play Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 with mods enabled again, as the DirectX 11 versions are back on Steam. Pivot followed an update that introduced DirectX 12 permanently to survival horror games, while also breaking its ambient lighting and mod support.

In a Steam update post, Capcom said that it has reactivated previous versions of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 based on “overwhelming response from the community.” The publisher also shares the steps to restore DirectX 11 builds on your gaming PC, returning remakes and sequels to their original state.

DirectX 12 enhancements are generally useful, especially if you want to try a better graphics card with features like ray tracing. However, Capcom’s decision to permanently include them in their series cut short popular fan projects like Resident Evil VR, not to mention raising the minimum performance bar for all three games.

It should be noted that Capcom did not remove their Resident Evil updates as the DirectX 12 Steam download is still available.

Instead, it made the original versions available through the beta channel, which means you can move back and forth. With that in mind, here’s how to install the original versions of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7:

  • Open Steam and navigate to your library.
  • Right click on the game and select Properties.
  • Select the “Betas” tab.
  • Select dx11_non-rt from the dropdown menu.
  • Close the menu and let the game update and install.

Now you can play Capcom’s spooky saga without the performance caveats of ray tracing. It’s also a good job, as Resident Evil 4 will join the terrifying trio of remakes next year.
