The HD Remaster uses high-resolution textures, but you can make it look even better with a few tweaks:

Keep this at a Variable or 60 FPS cap. Setting it too high can sometimes speed up the game's internal clock, making the zombies move faster than intended!

The most reliable source. It includes Cloud Saves and full controller support.

Perfect if you want a DRM-free installer that you can keep on a thumb drive forever. Step 2: The "Install" Process

During the first launch, the game will ask for "Original" (4:3) or "Widescreen" (16:9). For that "Blu-ray" look, choose Widescreen .

Set this to FXAA + HQ in the game settings to smooth out the jagged edges on character models like Jill and Chris.
