Resolve Errors Game Not Launching, Audio Bugs, and Fatal Application Exit
Resident Evil is one of the oldest third-person shooter games. In fact, my infatuation with gaming started when I stumbled across a copy of Resident Evil back in 2000. Ever since, there has been several installments of the game and the recent remake title of Resident Evil 2. Last week, a new title was introduced the Resident Evil 3 Remake. It follows a similar theme to its predecessor. The characters Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira try to survive a zombie apocalypse while being hunted by the Nemesis – an intelligent bioweapon. For most part the game progresses smoothly; however, some players have been encountering the Resident Evil 3 Remake Errors like Game Not Launching, Audio Bugs, and Fatal Application Exit.
If you have been facing any of these errors, we have some fix you can try. But, prior to proceeding with the fix we recommend that you update the graphics card and the OS. An outdated driver or OS causes most of the issues. Here goes the fixes.
Resident Evil 3 Remake Error “Game Not Launching”
To fix the Resident Evil 3 Remake game not launching error, we are first going to try and give the game the necessary privileges. To do this, open the installation folder of the game and locate the .exe file. Right-click on the file and select Run as administrator. If the program still fails to start, try the next fix.
From the installation folder open “re3_config.ini” and disable “UseOptimizeShader”. This should fix the error for you.
If you are not using the latest version of the Visual C Redistributable, it can also be the cause of the error, download the latest version, install, and try opening the game.
If the problem still persists, your antivirus or the Windows Virus & Threat protection could also be a cause of the problem. Disable the antivirus and try launching the game, but you cannot have the protection disabled for long, you will have to set an exception for Resident Evil 3 Remake on the antivirus. Follow the link for the process for different antivirus software. If the game still does not work, try disabling the firewall and play the game.
If you have still not updated the graphics card and the OS, do it now as the game is designed to be run on the latest OS and an outdated operating system could be the cause of the problem.
Resident Evil 3 Remake Audio Bugs
Although the game can be played even with audio problem like stuttering, crackling, or silence, the true experience can only be derived when you have the audio in resident Evil 2 Remake. Some players have been experience audio bugs with the game. If you are among those players, we have certain fix for the situation you can try.
As we browsed through forums, a lot of users were able to resolve the error by activating the V-sync, which leads us to believe a disabled V-Sync can be the cause of the error. You can enable the V-Sync from the NVIDIA Control Panel. If this does not fix the issue and while you are in the NVIDIA Control Panel, try setting the Vertical Sync to Fast. This could immediately resolve the audio bug in Resident Evil 3 Remake.
The audio error can also be fixed by turning off the Spatial Sound. Here are the steps:
- Press Windows Key + I to open Settings
- Click on Systems and go to Sound
- From the right side of the screen, click on the link Sound Control Panel
