Capcom confirms that the removal of ray tracing from Resident Evil 2 and 3 was a mistake, and a fix is on the way. This comes after a recent update removed the option to enable ray tracing from the games' menus, confusing and irritating fans used to playing with the highest graphical settings.

Now, Capcom has revealed that it is aware of the issue, and will roll out a fix "in a future update". There's no indication of when this fix will be with us, but it's at least been confirmed that the setting was not removed intentionally, and will come back at some point. Although we still don't know how a patch could have removed ray tracing in the first place.

On top of this, Capcom highlights another issue that players were reporting: 3D Audio not appearing in the options menu. It seems that the same bug that removed ray tracing removed this too, as it disappeared in the same patch for Resident Evil 2 and 3.

It's pretty disappointing that we don't have a timeframe for the fix right now, but it's not particularly surprising. Capcom's main focus right now is Resident Evil 4 Remake's ongoing development, which not only includes bug fixing and overall improvements, but also adding new game modes altogether.

We've already got the Mercenaries mode, but we're also expecting to get Separate Ways - a mode that will let us play as Ada Wong. Admittedly, this hasn't been officially announced just yet, but from what dataminers have been able to turn up, it seems pretty inevitable that Separate Ways will also get the remake treatment, even if it wasn't there from launch.

It also seems that most fans are happy to keep playing Resident Evil 4 Remake anyway, at least given all of the details they've uncovered lately. Yesterday, fans discovered how Leon survived the scene in which Ashley is forced to shoot him, only for the gun to jam. It turns out that Capcom did its research, and recreated a real gun jam that would happen if someone was to hold a pistol incorrectly. The devs even recreated exactly what the pistol jam would look like on the gun - knowing that eagle-eyed fans would be looking out for this kind of detail.
