How to Fix "Resident Evil 3" Bugs
"Resident Evil 3" is part of a series of critical and market successes that have defined the horror/puzzle genre since its initial release. While in development, it was made for console systems rather than the PC and was later ported to the PC. While almost everything in the game works fine, there is often a problem between Windows and "Resident Evil 3" in handling sound hardware acceleration that causes the game to freeze up or crash.
