Revision as of 03:20, 8 September 2022
Warnings
- For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.
Key points
- Installing the Windows Live application is mandatory to install the game but not necessary to run it. See Essential improvements for a workaround.
General information
- Official Capcom-Unity Forum
- Resident Evil Modding Forums
- Steam Community Discussions
Availability
- Steam version DRM switched from Games for Windows - LIVE and SecuROM to Steam.
- All non-Steam versions require Games for Windows - LIVE DRM.[Note 1]
- All retail product keys activate on Steam (Games for Windows Marketplace product keys do not work).[3]
- Retail version owners can use the LIVE key to activate the Steamworks version. Also, the LIVE version is available to Steam version owners who miss the features removed during the transition to Steamworks or who use mods incompatible with the Steamworks version by using the code
G4WLOriginalVersion
in the game's properties' Betas tab.[4][5]
- New Steam version update removed DirectX 10 (although this has no impact on performance or graphical features[6]) and Nvidia 3D Vision support.[7] It also removed the Split-Screen code and introduced some minor bugs.[8]
Monetization
DLC and expansion packs
- The Mercenaries United was never made available for the PC version. However, this mode is a combination of "The Mercenaries" and "Mercenaries Reunion" mode (to play as Jill/Wesker for instance), but it's only based on "Mercenaries Reunion" (which means score is more important than time). You can use mods to play as any character you want for both modes.
Essential improvements
- Based on the patch made by Maluc and updated by RICK to provide more fixes.
- Removes GFWL requirement. Fixes the region lock and allows you to join/see any multiplayer server. Gives weapon to AI, fixes versus bugs, etc.
- Enables support for 4GB LAA, this should allow for smoother gameplay, faster loading times, better fps and less frequent crashes (install this mod after the one above).
Optional improvement
1440p / 60fps Upscaled Pre-Rendered Pre-Credits Opening Cutscenes
Upscaled the Pre-Rendered Pre-Credits Opening Cutscene, logo screen up to 1440p and up to 60fps. Multiple options offered.

Post-processing
Depth of field
- Works with the Steam version only.
Disabling post-processing effects separately
- Helix Mod 3D Vision Fix adds hotkeys to toggle color filter, depth of field, HDR/bloom level, HUD, weapon laser color, and provides optional files to disable heat waves and lens flares.
Use 3D Vision Fix[15]
|
- Download Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition 3D Vision Fix.
- Extract the files to
<path-to-game> .
- While in-game, press the corresponding hotkeys to disable the desired effects (F4: depth of field, F5: weapon laser color toggle, F6: color filter toggle, z: HUD toggle, b: four HDR/bloom presets). Heat waves and lens flares are automatically disabled with the optional files added.
|
Alternative color filter removal
Use ENBSeries[16]
|
- Download ENBSeries 1.3.
- Extract all but
effect folder into the installation folder.
- Go into
shaderinput .
- Rename
psh031923D9.txt to pshCBF350A4.txt .
Notes
- Only works with the DX9 executable.
- Decreasing the in-game brightness is recommended to compensate for the lack of filter.
- Doesn't remove the pink filter in the ending of Lost in Nightmares.
- For an additional color boost, download this and extract it to the installation folder. Replace all files with it. Brightness should be normal. Don't Alt+Tab ↹ on fullscreen mode or it will crash.
|
Input
In-game keyboard/mouse settings.
In-game gamepad settings.
- When mapping a button which already is mapped to another function, a warning will show up, informing the player that the controls may not work properly. To solve this, just either unbind the other function or preferably just remap it to another unused button.
Modify config file[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file location.
- Open
Config.ini and find the [JOYPAD] section
- Edit the button numbers as desired.
- Example for DualShock 4:
[JOYPAD]
ProductName=Wireless Controller
A=1
B=2
X=0
Y=3
LEFT=POV
RIGHT=POV
UP=POV
DOWN=POV
START=9
BACK=8
LT=4
LB=6
RT=5
RB=7
LSTICK_PUSH=10
LSTICK_VERT=Y
LSTICK_HORZ=X
RSTICK_PUSH=11
RSTICK_VERT=RZ
RSTICK_HORZ=Z
Notes
- Controller button numbers can be found by opening Set up USB game controllers (accessed by ⊞ Win+R and
joy.cpl ), clicking properties, and then switching to the Test tab. Actual button number is -1 from shown, e.g. if button 1 lights up, it's button 0.
|
- original and DualShock 3 variants available for both Steam and GFWL versions of the game.

Connection types
Split screen mode
- This application enables split-screen functionality. While it is only playable with gamepads, it is possible to use a keyboard via PPJoy.
https://github.com/SplitScreen-Me/splitscreenme-nucleus/releases
Download it, run and download the RE5 handler, configure your gamepads/kb&m, then click > followed by PLAY at the top right.
VR support
Issues fixed
- See Games for Windows - LIVE Issues fixed.
- As of Steamworks update, game does still require GFWL components to be installed so users are able to import their save game data and achievements, even though it isn't used with main game.
- Launcher errors, such as
res = 1, err = 0x0000007e
and res = 1, err = 0x00000012
, are GFWL related and is possibly linked that there's no GFWL related data found.[18] Game should still work normally,[19][20] but as window requires manual closing it breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
Remove GFWL requirement[21]
|
Use Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Unofficial Patch.
- In combination with this patch, it is possible to prevent the GFWL software from being installed on the game's first run by deleting the
"Run Process" key (and its children) in the BH5AE_install.vdf file in the game folder prior to running the game for the first time. This will disable importing GFWL saves (the relevant menu option will be grayed out.)[22]
|
Majini with a key card gets stuck
- In chapter 6–1, sometimes the Majini with a key card can't jump down after spawning and you can't kill him to get a key card.
Startup video mode errors
- Error messages caused by an unsupported video mode:
ERR09: Unsupported function
and mpSwapChain->REsizeTarget(&mdesc)
.
Edit the config.ini file[citation needed]
|
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\CAPCOM\RESIDENT EVIL 5\config.ini
- Look for Resolution and RefreshRate and change to a known good setting (e.g. 640x480, or disable FullScreen).
- Save your changes.
|
Issues with ultrawide resolutions (21:9)
- Error message
ERR09: Unsupported function
caused by aspect ratio containing decimal number. For example 3440x1440 is 21.5:9.
Add custom resolution[citation needed]
|
- Use CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) or Nvidia Control Panel to add following custom resolution for:
• 2560x1080 → 2520x1080 • 3440x1440 → 3360x1440
- Apply in game.
|
Graphics flicker in fullscreen
- This flickering can occur on modern graphics cards and drivers, popping up as frequently as several minutes or as infrequently as every couple hours.
Use SweetFX Shader Suite[citation needed]
|
- Download SweetFX Shader Suite
- Unpack to the installation folder.
- While playing, Alt+Tab ↹ to switch back to your desktop or another window.
- Switch back to the game. The flickering will not occur again.
Notes
- The game will retain all its original visuals, and performance will not be significantly impacted.
