FFS anyone with a decent HDR screen or OLED do yourself a favour and install the RenoDX mod.

I have played half the game without the mod and got confused / suspicious after being prompted to use the torch when I couldn't see any reason to.

Installed the mod and it's immediately obvious I've been playing the game with raised blacks and crappy contrast everywhere.

Argggh.

You didn't notice?

It was immediately visible to me that the game had raised blacks, I'm so used to how OLED blacks should look that I can tell immediately in any new game even if it's raised by just 1nit

Before the patch there was an issue where the game would start with raised blacks, but it was very obvious to me and I restarted the game until it looked correct

It's worth downloading the Windows HDR calibration app as well as it allows you to set up a profile for each HDR screen you use. It wasn't until I did that that RE9 really looked correct.
 
Interestingly the raise black is only in HDR mode in the game not SDR, in SDR the black is pitch black.

Yeah I feel silly for not realising oh well, still been enjoying the game immensely.

I've been playing a lot of games on the Switch 2 recently so I think my standards have slipped :cry:
 
Just encountered a bug with a file that isn't registering properly preventing 100% completion.

the toe tag in a coffin during the orphanage sequence

Anyone else come across this issue ?
 
I've never been more hooked on a RE game. Enjoying my Insanity run and the twists it brings, it's generally gotten a bit easier since leaving the care center but there's been some tough parts I've had to retry a lot.

Using REframework?, think it can cause issues like that.

You buy the second raccoon map?.

I'd guess it's either the one during the Leon protect Grace part outside the church, or the one in the 1st floor window next to the billboard outside Kendo's after leaving the RPD, think those are the easiest ones to miss.

Might l Leon rooftop one. I was busy protecting that i forgot to look around. Got the kendo one :)

CP is not as easy to get in this game compared to RE3 Remake where I remember getting loads. After completing it on modern and standard I only have enough for rocket launch, but not unlimited ammo.

I dont think I fancy playing on hard without unlimited ammo

Nice. Sounds like you really enjoyed it and got your moneys worth :)

I have exactly 75% of achievements. There are a couple easy ones I could go grab. But I will leave all that for the future.

My last second playthrough on Standard was like 9 hours. Lol. But no extra weapons or anything and I was enjoying PT rather than rushing.

I missed some documents too. There are at least 5 or so I did not find :(

Yeah you get a lot of CP from the no herb/no blood collecting/speed challenge in this, fairly easy to do on casual as long as you know the route well enough and avoid some encounters - e.g. on the glass floor bit you can ignore enemies and just immediately go to drop the ramp, go up, shoot the guy with the bomb then run straight on to pass the area.

Insanity mode with no bonuses definitely isn't for everyone, I wouldn't say I'm especially great at games but I'm patient and enjoy problem solving and trial and error lol. I'm playing quite differently on insanity and discovering new details and approaches, much of the time it almost feels like experiencing the game all over again.

I left the care center/basement with plenty of resources, over 100 handgun ammo etc and was quite chuffed!. It'll be a longer run but for me it's been worth it.

The RIP Knives are proof that it's Insanity :)
