How to Fix Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Crashing

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster returns to Frank West's first foray into the zombie outbreak in Willamette, now with a wide expansion visually and in gameplay mechanics, including expanded customization options. General performance for the PC version is alright, but some folks have raised concerns about stability issues with the game, such as crashing. This guide will help you identify and attempt to solve crashing issues in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

How to Fix Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Crashing Issues

Majority of the crashing issues which the players have been facing in the gameplay of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster are related to the graphical settings selected by the players. We have noticed that there are certain settings which may lead to higher consumption of VRAM thus causing instability.

Lower the Quality of Texture and Shadow Quality

While for GPU systems that run with 8-10 GB of VRAM, setting Texture Quality to 4 GB in-game is recommended. That won't lower texture quality much but it reduces VRAM usage a lot, thus preventing crashes. Bringing Shadow Quality down to High from Max further relaxes VRAM without losing much of the overall visual outlook.

Don't Run Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Through Special K
