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]
On December 22, 2022, this version of the game was renamed to Resident Evil 4 (2005) on Steam to avoid confusion with the remake.
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
- A mod that aims to revise the graphics of the game. It intends to be very faithful to the original look, as the creators even traveled to the real-life European locations to capture photos concerning art and architecture. Also, it re-does effects such as lighting so that they make more logical sense and fixes 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 occur when playing at 60 FPS, since the game was originally designed to run at 30 FPS. Such issues include:
- The game engine cannot skip frames, which means if it can't maintain a capped 30 or 60 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 are still running at 30 FPS (e.g., flames).[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]
- Using re4_tweaks solves a few issues with 60 FPS, such as the speeds of certain animations, effects, and QTE timings.
Low frame rate
- When playing the game and it suddenly slows down, load the map and exit.[citation needed] Alternatively, cap the frame rate to 30 FPS if the system cannot maintain 60 FPS.[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.[2][3][4] This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to Modern and adjusting the sensitivity level.
Locking the frame rate to 30 FPS helps stabilize the player's aim.[24]
Use re4_tweaks to enable raw mouse input[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.
