Essential improvements
Resident Evil 4 HD Project
- Resident Evil 4 HD Project is a mod aiming to revise the textures 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
- Current version was released July 13, 2018, which basically covers the vast majority of the environments. A trailer with comparisons is here. These are still yet to come: Characters, enemies, background files, and some effects (blood, fire) and lighting retouchments. There is no release date for the next version.
- For instructions on downloading and installing the HD Project, see here. Windows 10 users may encounter problems installing the HD Project using the provided .bat file. If so, see here.

Brightness
- It is recommended to set in-game brightness to the MAX level. Any value below the maximum will make the whites look like bright gray. Beyond that, lowering the brightness does not give you more detail (you’ll only get a duller image).[7]
Input settings
DualShock Button Prompts
- This mod adds PlayStation buttons. Original post here.
- Even though game does support DirectInput and button rebinding, game will show wrong buttons mixed with generic button prompts with DualShock 4. Use of XInput wrapper is required.

Issues unresolved
Issues when running the game at 60 FPS
- The game was originally designed around a 30 FPS frame rate. Various issues, both minor and major, can occur when playing at 60 FPS.
- 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.[8]
- The minecart and the statue bridge QTEs were not re-timed for 60 FPS, so they require twice as many button presses in the same time frame.[9]
- Some animations weren’t ported properly, such as the rifle and bow reloading, and appear jarring in contrast to the rest of the game.[10]
- All effects generated by animated textures (flames, for example) are still running at 30 FPS.[7]
- The frequency of certain effects and events, such as the speed in which water moves, are at 2x speed.[11]
- Minor differences in the spawn behavior of some enemies/areas.[12]
- The Black Knights' death animation runs twice as fast at 60 FPS.[13]
- Leon's hitbox is bigger at 60 FPS and does not get reduced anymore by the Ditman glitch.[14]
Issues fixed
Random slow downs
- If you're playing the game and it suddenly slows down, load the map and exit.[citation needed]
Mouse aiming problems
- Some players have reported problems using the mouse to aim their weapon.[citation needed] This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to "Modern" and adjusting the sensitivity level.
Can't pass QTEs
- In some QTEs, such as when Leon is hanging on a ledge in Chapter 4, mashing the buttons as fast as you can might still not pass the QTE. This is because of botched 60 FPS support, requiring QTEs to be mashed faster.[citation needed] Try changing it to 30FPS, or use Cheat Engine, attach the process, Speed Hack it to 0.5, thus giving you more time to press the button. After the QTE, simply exit Cheat Engine and continue the game. Another tip is to mash the button even before the prompt appears.
Crashes
Stop "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service" Windows service[citation needed] |

Disable Bitdefender antivirus[15] |

- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
