RESIDENT EVIL 2 is supported by Windows 7/8 and Windows 10.
The priority and primary graphics API for RESIDENT EVIL 2 / BIOHAZARD RE:2 is DirectX 11/12 .
| GAME ENGINE |
RE Engine is a game engine designed for "all next generation Capcom games". Used by Capcom for their internal projects. The first game on this engine was Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, released on January 24, 2017. At the moment, 2 more games are being prepared for release in 2019 on this engine - a remake of Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5.
The RE Engine uses several middleware solutions. The only solution known for certain is Audiokinetic Wwise, a cross-platform audio engine. The engine also uses subsurface scattering technology, which is used to render some objects, for example, human skin, anti-aliasing (FXAA + TAA), HDR.
| GRAPHICS SETTINGS |
RESIDENT EVIL 2 has a wide range of graphics settings.
Below we have provided screenshots of the game at various graphics settings, where our readers can see the difference between the minimum and maximum graphics quality settings.
