Capcom reminded us of the classic third person action game with zombies. Unfortunately, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is another new release that struggles with many technical issues. People are complaining about poor performance, stutters and freezes. Those who are really unlucky are not even able to play the game because title can crash during the intro cutscenes. From this guide you will learn how to fix this problem.

Dead Rising Remaster (DRDR) not Launching

Dead Rising Remaster players have big problems with initial cutscenes. As it was mentioned earlier, for some reason, the game crashes during this sequence. Because of that, the title is unplayable. At this moment, there are a couple of potential fixes. However, they do not work in all cases.

1. First solution is deleting two files: Crash Reporter and Crash Reporter DLL. So, you must go to the folder where you have installed DRDR and remove them. Next, you can try to launch the title. There is a chance that cutscenes won’t crash. Of course, removing any files from the game directory may cause potential problems, but at this point you probably have them already, so you risk nothing.
2. Some players also have found out that this issue is caused by ReShade. It’s a program to improves graphical appearance – especially colors in older games. Uninstalling this application resolved the problems for many. Of course, there is a chance that there are other third-party programs which cause these crashes.
