Unlike major DLC drops (like Shadows of Rose), this update was small—clocking in at approximately 247 MB on PC and 189 MB on consoles. Here is the technical breakdown:
The urgency of the 2104_hot label becomes clear when you examine the telemetry. Between October 3rd and October 4th, Capcom’s crash reporter logged over 12,000 “CM_SAVE_CORRUPT” errors from PS5 users who had transferred their RE8 save files from the PS4 version via cloud sync.
Specifically, if a player earned the “Lights Out” trophy (complete the game without using a healing item) on PS4 and then uploaded the save to PS5, the system would stall at the “Beneviento” autosave. Update 2104_hot injects a repair script that strips the conflicting trophy metadata without deleting the save. resident evil village update 10042023 2104 hot
User Reaction: On the r/ResidentEvil subreddit, user u/UmbrellaCorp_IT wrote: “Downloaded the 2104_hot patch at 9pm HST. My 97-hour save file that was stuck at 94% finally loaded. Thank you, Capcom.”
The infamous "unlimited Lei" exploit via selling mines to The Duke was fixed. However, within 15 minutes of the update (21:19), players found a new dupe:
Buy 3 First Aid Med -> combine with Herb -> sell stack of 4.
This yields +7,000 Lei per cycle. Expect a hotfix by April 12. Fixed crash triggered by using Flashbang + Pipe
If you haven't touched Resident Evil Village since launch, this is the perfect time to reinstall. Whether you want to see Ethan from a new angle or tear through enemies as a towering vampire queen, this update cements Village as one of the best titles in the franchise's modern era.
