+ | {{Introduction | ||
+ | |introduction = '''''Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition''''' is a {{Glossary:Third-person}} {{Glossary:Action}} {{Glossary:Horror}} {{Glossary:shooter}} game developed by [[Company:Capcom|Capcom]] and ported by [[Company:QLOC|QLOC]]. It is an updated version of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''. This version was originally released in 2014 as '''Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition''', it is currently being listed on Steam as '''Resident Evil 4 (2005)'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |release history = The ''Ultimate HD Edition'' of ''Resident Evil 4'' was developed in response to the poor quality of the initial 2007 PC port from [[Company:Sourcenext|Sourcenext]]. This port was based off the 2011 HD version of the game on Xbox 360 developed by AQ Interactive, which in turn was based off the 2007 ''Wii edition'' with the extra content from the PlayStation 2 port.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Resident_Evil_4_(2005)/development#PC_(2014)_Ultimate_HD_Edition|title=Resident Evil 4 (2005) - Resident Evil Wiki|date=2020-11-12}}</ref> It also features alternative color filter options, some improved HD textures, keyboard and mouse support, and the ability to play the game at 60 or 30 FPS. The game, however, is originally designed around a 30 FPS cap, and various issues, both minor and major, can occur when playing at 60 FPS; see [[#Issues when running the game at 60 FPS|Issues unresolved]] for details. Mouse controls are also a hit-or-miss; some players reported the mouse aiming worked fine while others experience issues such as slow mouse movement and unresponsiveness, possibly to the extent of being unplayable.<ref name="Mouse aiming issue 1">[https://steamcommunity.com/app/254700/discussions/0/135512625249159191/ GOD AWFUL CONTROLS :: resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 General Discussions]</ref><ref name="Mouse aiming issue 2">[https://steamcommunity.com/app/254700/discussions/0/35221031620740948/ Mouse aim is garbage :: resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 General Discussions]</ref><ref name="Mouse aiming issue 3">[https://steamcommunity.com/app/254700/discussions/0/154644519323714055/ Either my mouse is terrible or... :: resident evil 4 / biohazard 4 General Discussions]</ref> A controller is recommended in situations where mouse controls are not playable. Unfortunately, the low-quality PlayStation 2 {{Term|FMV}} sequences are also carried over in the Separate Ways campaign and a few other scenarios in this port.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQnhehMuG0|title=RE4 Separate Ways cutscene vs same main-campaign cutscene - YouTube|date=2020-11-13}}</ref> There were some other issues initially with this port, but some of them have been addressed with patches.<ref name="v1.0.2 update">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/254700/announcements/detail/1315355362385803174|title=resident evil 4 Update Version 1.0.2 Now Available|date=2020-11-12}}</ref><ref name="v1.0.6 update">{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/254700/announcements/detail/1316484896645005520|title=resident evil 4 Update Version 1.0.6 Now Available|date=2020-11-12}}</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |current state = There is a modding community for this version of ''Resident Evil 4'' after moving from modding the previous 2007 PC port. One of the most ambitious projects available is the ''[[#Resident Evil 4 HD Project|Resident Evil 4 HD Project]]'', which completely revise the game's models, textures, environments, lighting, effects, and {{Term|FMV}}s. [[#re4_tweaks|re4_tweaks]] also aims to fix and restore other small features of the game. | ||

+ | ===[https://nipkownix.github.io/re4_tweaks/ re4_tweaks]=== | ||
+ | {{++}} Fixes issues with the Ultimate HD Edition release and restores features from the original GameCube version that were broken during the games many ports. Features include restored depth of field in cutscenes and sniper scope, removal of a broken filter that gave some areas of the game a brown tint, restored sniper scope blur, raw mouse input, refinements to the mouse controls, option to skip intro videos, fixed QTE speeds when played at 60 FPS, film grain filter removal, restored {{Glossary:Cinematic camera}} for the Ashley segment, subtitles for the English language and more. | ||
+ | {{++}} Features an in-game overlay menu to configure its options, accessed by pressing {{Key|F1}}. | ||
+ | {{ii}} Included with [[#Resident Evil 4 HD Project|Resident Evil 4 HD Project]], though updates for the re4_tweaks module can be found on GitHub. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===[https://www.re4hd.com/ Resident Evil 4 HD Project]=== | ||
+ | {{ii}} Resident Evil 4 HD Project is a mod aiming to revise the graphics of the game. It intends to be very faithful to the original look, as the creators even went to the real-life European locations to capture photos of the art and architecture. It also re-does effects such as lighting so that they make more logical sense, while fixing some of the environmental problems leftover in the game. | ||
+ | {{ii}} Supports v1.0.6 and v1.1.0. A clean installation of Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition is recommended before installing this mod. | ||

+ | ==Issues unresolved== | ||
+ | ===Issues when running the game at 60 FPS=== | ||
+ | {{ii}} Various issues, both minor and major, can occur when playing at 60 FPS due to the game being originally designed to play at a 30 FPS cap. Issues when playing at 60 FPS includes the following: | ||
+ | {{++}} Using [[#re4_tweaks|re4_tweaks]] solves a few issues with 60 FPS, such as the speeds of certain animations, effects, and QTE timings. | ||
+ | * The game engine cannot skip frames, which means if it can't maintain a capped 60 (or 30) FPS, it will run in slow motion.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utc9ogq2fys|title=Resident Evil 4 - Ultimate HD Edition : Slow-Mo - YouTube|date=May 2023}}</ref> | ||

Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition is a third-person action horror shooter game developed by Capcom and ported by QLOC. It is an updated version of Resident Evil 4. This version was originally released in 2014 as Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition, it is currently being listed on Steam as Resident Evil 4 (2005).
The Ultimate HD Edition of Resident Evil 4 was developed in response to the poor quality of the initial 2007 PC port from Sourcenext. This port was based off the 2011 HD version of the game on Xbox 360 developed by AQ Interactive, which in turn was based off the 2007 Wii edition with the extra content from the PlayStation 2 port.[1] It also features alternative color filter options, some improved HD textures, keyboard and mouse support, and the ability to play the game at 60 or 30 FPS. The game, however, is originally designed around a 30 FPS cap, and various issues, both minor and major, can occur when playing at 60 FPS; see Issues unresolved for details. Mouse controls are also a hit-or-miss; some players reported the mouse aiming worked fine while others experience issues such as slow mouse movement and unresponsiveness, possibly to the extent of being unplayable.[2][3][4] A controller is recommended in situations where mouse controls are not playable. Unfortunately, the low-quality PlayStation 2 FMV sequences are also carried over in the Separate Ways campaign and a few other scenarios in this port.[5] There were some other issues initially with this port, but some of them have been addressed with patches.[6][7]
There is a modding community for this version of Resident Evil 4 after moving from modding the previous 2007 PC port. One of the most ambitious projects available is the Resident Evil 4 HD Project, which completely revise the game's models, textures, environments, lighting, effects, and FMVs. re4_tweaks also aims to fix and restore other small features of the game.

Essential improvements
re4_tweaks
- Fixes issues with the Ultimate HD Edition release and restores features from the original GameCube version that were broken during the games many ports. Features include restored depth of field in cutscenes and sniper scope, removal of a broken filter that gave some areas of the game a brown tint, restored sniper scope blur, raw mouse input, refinements to the mouse controls, option to skip intro videos, fixed QTE speeds when played at 60 FPS, film grain filter removal, restored cinematic camera for the Ashley segment, subtitles for the English language and more.
- Features an in-game overlay menu to configure its options, accessed by pressing F1.
- Included with Resident Evil 4 HD Project, though updates for the re4_tweaks module can be found on GitHub.
Resident Evil 4 HD Project
- Resident Evil 4 HD Project is a mod aiming to revise the graphics of the game. It intends to be very faithful to the original look, as the creators even went to the real-life European locations to capture photos of the art and architecture. It also re-does effects such as lighting so that they make more logical sense, while fixing some of the environmental problems leftover in the game.
- Supports v1.0.6 and v1.1.0. A clean installation of Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition is recommended before installing this mod.

Issues unresolved
Issues when running the game at 60 FPS
- Various issues, both minor and major, can occur when playing at 60 FPS due to the game being originally designed to play at a 30 FPS cap. Issues when playing at 60 FPS includes the following:
- Using re4_tweaks solves a few issues with 60 FPS, such as the speeds of certain animations, effects, and QTE timings.
- The game engine cannot skip frames, which means if it can't maintain a capped 60 (or 30) FPS, it will run in slow motion.[22]
- Some animations were not properly updated to 60 FPS, such as the rifle and bowgun reloading animations, and appear jarring in contrast to the rest of the game.[23]
- All effects generated by animated textures (flames, for example) are still running at 30 FPS.[13]
- Aiming may become accelerated and jittery, making it harder to properly aim with a drawn weapon.[24]
- The frequency of certain effects and events, such as the speed in which water moves, are doubled the speed.[25]
- Minor differences in the spawn behavior of some enemies/areas.[26]
- The Black Armadura's death animation runs twice as fast at 60 FPS.
- Leon's hitbox is bigger at 60 FPS and does not get reduced anymore by the Ditman glitch.[27]
Low frame rate
- When playing the game and it suddenly slows down, load the map and exit.[citation needed] Alternatively, lock the game's frame rate to 30 FPS if the system cannot maintain stable 60 FPS gameplay.[28] Using re4_tweaks and disabling Steam Overlay may also remedy these issues.[29]
Issues fixed
Mouse aiming problems
- Some players have reported problems using the mouse to aim their weapon.[2][3][4] This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to "Modern" and adjusting the sensitivity level. Locking the game's frame rate to 30 FPS can help stabilize the player's aiming.[24]
Use re4_tweaks to enable raw mouse input.[12] |
---|
|
No video on monitors with high refresh rates / Game runs at incorrect refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Use re4_tweaks[12] |
---|
|
Stutter Roughly Every 5 Seconds
- The game may have a 5 frame stutter every 5 seconds or so, no matter the video options, essentially making the game unplayable.
Uninstall Bluetooth drivers via device manager. |
---|
Can't pass QTEs that involve rapid button presses
- Some QTEs, such as the minecart and the statue bridge, were not re-timed for 60 FPS, so they require twice as many button presses in the same time frame.[30][31]
Use re4_tweaks[12] |
---|
|
Crashes after ~15 minutes of gameplay
Stop Touch Keyboard service[32] |
---|
|
Disable Bitdefender antivirus[33] |
---|
|
Button prompts not showing
- Game might not display any prompts for context actions and in QTEs when using certain non-English keyboard locales
Use re4_tweaks[12] |

- One of the first areas caused the game to slow down significantly when playing at 60 FPS due to smoke effects on screen causing high CPU load from the game according to Task Manager. Locking the game back to 30 FPS on my current PC stabilized performance afterwards.
