Steam version
- All Steam versions require Steam and Enigma Protector DRM.
- 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] - The new Steam version update removed DirectX 10 (although with no impact on performance or graphical features[6]) and Nvidia 3D Vision support.[7] It also introduced some minor bugs.[8] A later update in February 2023 removed the GFWL requirement, added split-screen co-op back in, and fixed some bugs while adding some new ones.[9]
Non-Steam versions
- All non-Steam versions require Games for Windows - LIVE DRM.[Note 1]
- All retail product keys activate on Steam, but Games for Windows Marketplace product keys do not work.[10]
- Retail version owners can use the LIVE key to activate the Steamworks version.

UNTOLD STORIES BUNDLE | Included in the Gold Edition |
- 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 combos are more important than leftover time). You can use mods to play as any character you want in both modes.

Issues fixed
Issues with Games for Windows - LIVE
- GFWL requirement removed from the Steam version in February 2023 update.[21]
- See Games for Windows - LIVE Issues fixed.
- As of Steamworks update, the game still requires the installation of GFWL components to allow users to import save data and achievements. Although it is not used with the main game.
- Launcher errors, such as
res = 1, err = 0x0000007e
andres = 1, err = 0x00000012
, are related to GFWL and it is possibly linked that there's no GFWL related data found.[22]
The game should still work normally.[23][24] But as it requires manual closing, this breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
