    How to boost RE 7 Biohazard’s resolution

    Back up your RE 7 executable file before using this workaround.

    1. Download the HXD Hex editor

    2. Launch the download file > double click on setup.exe > install the tool

    3. Click Open > select RE 7 Biohazard .exe file > hit CTRL + F > search for 39 8E E3 3F > select Hex value as data type and Search all as search option

    4. Change those 39 8E E3 3F Hex values to AB AA AA 40 for a 3440×1440 resolution

    5. Look for the line 00 00 80 41 and replace it with either 00 00 AC 41 for 3440×1440, or 00 00 A8 41 for 2560×1080

    6. Save the .exe file > close the Hex Editor

    7. Restart your computer > set the game to borderless windowed mode. You should now be able to play RE 7 Biohazard on an ultrawide resolution.

    As a quick reminder, 8F E3 18 40 stands for 3440×1440 resolution. If you want to enable a 2560×1080 resolution, replace the 39 8E E3 3F values with
    9A 99 19 40 at step 4.

    This fix has made many players happy:

    Awesome! Thank you! I just finished playing from the beginning until you meet the family at the dinner table for the first time, and I’m completely hooked. I’m so glad I don’t have to refund now!
