The sport quickly reached over 1,000,000 gamers on PC (not lengthy after we reported on virtually getting there), and this comes regardless of many reviews of sub-par efficiency and crashing, which led to the sport holding ‘Blended’ evaluations on Steam.

Capcom is pushing out a patch, nevertheless it fails to handle efficiency, and there’s at the moment no signal of optimization enhancements on the best way.
