As you may know, the game updates the zombies at distance less frequently (probably to save CPU time). I spent an entire afternoon attempting to figure how to disable this, so I thought I'd share. Please note that I've not tested this extensively. Don't blame me if the game breaks as a result of this.
EDIT: Updated the offset/instructions for the latest update (as of December 17, 2019). This only works for this latest update(e.g. the one that added Jill's letter). I'm not interested in making it work in older or cracked versions.
You can either patch manually or use a patcher application.
Note: The patched executable MUST be named re2.exe like the original file.
Method 1) Applying the patch manually:
Open the .exe with an hex editor and at replace the following at offset 0x4CBF29.
If you are using HxD, you can go to "Search, Go To...", use offset 4CBF29 (make sure 'hex' and Search relative to begin' is enabled').
44 8B C5
With:
45 31 C0
Method 2) Applying the patch using an application:
Download the patch at:
Remember to overwrite original file, otherwise it won't work (make a backup if you want)

Wow. This is an important find! Quite immersion breaking to see stuff animate at 30fps at a distance...
Have you noticed any performance change?

Thanks a lot. I hate those low framerate animations. Will check if there are any performance penalty with tis fix. But I don't think it will be much of an issue with decent CPUs.

Yeah it works very well. Haven't seen any bug or performance drop.
While they animate a lot more smoothly now, it still does feel like they aren't running at 60 frames. But it looks okay now compared to that 15 fps abomination we had by default.

Thank you SO MUCH for finding this fix! This is one of the most requested mods, an error that devs seemingly couldn't fix!

2. Open re2.exe with HxD hex editor.
3. Use the find feature "CTRL+F" and then go to "search for hex values" tab.
4. There paste the hex code that you have to replace which is mentioned in the first post. Press enter.
5. The hex code will be highlighted now. Don't touch it.
6. Come back the the first post of this thread and then copy the new hex value that you need to replace the old one with.
7. Go back to HxD hex editor where the old hex value is already highlighted. Press CTRL+V to paste and replace the highlighted hex value.
8. Save and close the editor.

YES.
I was getting so really annoyed with the choppy animations, it seemed like the more times i played through the game, the more i noticed it and the closer to the camera it seemed to trigger.
