Capcom has said it's aware of serious crashes while trying to play the PC version of Resident Evil 8 since a recent update and ensures everyone that the issue is being looked into. With the Shadows of Rose DLC close to releasing, the RE series is flying high and has been since the seventh installment launched in 2017, breathing new life into the franchise and helping to bring it back to its horror roots. As well as the new content for RE8, fans can also look forward to a showcase that's happening at some point.

Recently, Capcom teased the Resident Evil event, which at the time did not have a set date and was simply coming «soon» but has since been revealed to be airing on October 20. The showcase is an opportunity for the studio to delve into some details about the Gold Edition of RE8, which is coming October 28, as well as cover the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4 that's due to launch on March 24, 2023. However, while many are eagerly anticipating the event, there are a number of players who have noticed some glaring issues with the PC version of the eighth entry.
