The newly released Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo is now available to play, but some PC players have reported being stuck on a D3D (25) fatal error which causes the game to crash shortly after launching. If you have played the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, this error may sound all too familiar. Fortunately, dealing with the Resident Evil 4 demo crashing is a relatively easy fix.
The D3D (25) fatal error appears to be related to the amount of VRAM the game requires, which is quite substantial. Although it is possible to adjust your overall settings to reduce the amount of VRAM the game uses, the simplest and most effective solution is perhaps the most obvious.

The easiest way to fix the D3D (25) fatal error crash in the Resident Evil 4 demo is to disable Ray Tracing in the game’s graphics settings.
Similar to the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes on PC, Ray Tracing is utilizing excessive amounts of VRAM and causes the game to crash soon after launch or even at the main menu.
How to Disable Ray Tracing in Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo
To turn off Ray Tracing,
1. Navigate to the options menu and select the Graphics section.
2. Look for the Ray Tracing setting and turn it off completely.
To turn off Ray Tracing, navigate to the options menu and select the Graphics section. Look for the Ray Tracing setting and turn it off completely. The difference in VRAM usage between having it set to Normal and High is minimal, as shown above.
Once you have made the necessary changes to the settings and possibly restarted the game, you should be able to play the Chainsaw Demo without experiencing the D3D error crash. Stay tuned for more Resident Evil 4 guides on GameSkinny as the game’s release approaches.
