Key points
- Port of Biohazard 3: Last Escape made for Windows 2000 / XP.
- Has improved compatibility for modern versions of Windows.
- Has the highest quality FMVs out of any other release.
- Capped at 30 FPS.
- Suffers from PSX's shakey polygon/vertices effect (the same effect can be produced on the original RE2 Version when running in software mode) due to low-precision vertex transformation. Use Resident Evil 3 Classic REbirth to fix.
- Random crashes during door transitions due to incorrect sound handling. Use Resident Evil 3 Classic REbirth to fix.

Essential improvements
Resident Evil 3 Classic REbirth
- Includes several code rewrites to ensure support on modern hardware with recent OSes (Windows 7 and later), providing better frame rates and responsive input detection. Also fixes all crashes related to sound.
- Fixes rendering for 3D models so that they don't appear wobbly or distorted.
- Requires version 1.1.0.
- Adds back to the title screen the original configuration screen and enables The Mercenaries to be accessed from the same screen, effectively making the dedicated executable redundant.
- Run the game with
-configcommand line argument to configure options.
High Quality Audio
- Replaces the voice acting and music with the ones from the restoration project mod.
- Includes an older version of the Classic REbirth Patch.
High Quality FMVs
- Reduces the pixelation in the FMVs by a lot.
Seamless HD Project
- Replaces textures with upscaled versions.
