Capcom removes Raytracing from Steam versions
The news spread like wildfire among gamers: Capcom has removed Raytracing from the Steam versions of the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 Remakes without prior notice. But what is behind this decision? And why was Dolby Atmos also removed from the third remake? So far, there has been no official statement from Capcom, but the community is actively discussing possible reasons and solutions.
Community discovers the absence of Raytracing
The absence of the Raytracing feature was first noticed by a user in the PC Gaming subreddit, who reported that Capcom had removed the feature from both games overnight. Other players confirmed this observation in the Resident Evil 3 Steam forum. Since there is no official confirmation from Capcom that the feature has been removed, it is also unclear when and if a solution is in sight.
Intentional decision or accidental mistake?
The community is divided on whether the removal of ray tracing from the Resident Evil 3 Remake was an intentional decision by Capcom or an accidental mistake. Some speculate that it could be a temporary bug that will be fixed with a future patch, while others believe that Capcom may have intentionally removed ray tracing due to licensing or technical issues.
Dolby Atmos also affected
In addition to ray tracing, Dolby Atmos was also removed from the Resident Evil 3 Remake, raising further questions and leaving the community wondering if this removal is also due to similar reasons as the absence of ray tracing.
Further information unclear
So far, there have been no official statements from Capcom on the matter. It remains to be seen if and when the company will address the issue and offer a solution. Gamers worldwide are hoping that both ray tracing and Dolby Atmos will soon be available again in the Resident Evil remakes.
