SilentPatch for Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 & Yakuza 5 Remastered

Yakuza Remastered Collection is a collection consisting of Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5, released on PC in January 2021. While currently all 3 games have been patched officially, some of the CPU usage issues remain unfixed, and SilentPatch addresses them. Additionally, SilentPatch improves compatibility for users with non-ASCII characters in user names, especially in Yakuza 5.

Featured fixes

• CPU usage has been significantly cut down in all 3 games.
• A low level keyboard hook potentially causing issues with slow typing speed has been removed.
• ~~Worked around a crash occurring occasionally after finishing battles with a Heat Action.~~ - fixed in an official patch.
• Fixed a potential random startup crash.
• Fixed several issues related to non-ASCII user names, most notably a freeze when using Print Circle photo booths in Yakuza 5.
