Overview
- Capcom released Steam update Ver. 1.040.03.01 on Jan. 28, addressing FPS drops caused by unclaimed‑content status checks near the Support Desk and Grand Hub.
- Patch notes emphasize Steam‑specific CPU/GPU optimizations, reduced shader warming, revised texture streaming, and a reworked High Resolution Texture Pack with lower VRAM use and smaller size.
- A new CPU options tab and additional graphics settings—including expanded volumetric fog levels—give players more control over performance tuning.
- Capcom recommends updated drivers (Nvidia 581.57+; AMD 25.9.1/25.9.2) and warns of issues on some newer AMD Radeon versions (25.10.2+).
- Players and outlets report steadier frametimes, fewer stutters, improved lows, better Steam Deck playability, and a surge in positive Steam reviews, with a broader performance update slated for Feb. 18.
