Warnings
- For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.
Key points
- Active multiplayer community. Use the Unofficial Patch to be able to see servers and fix certain issues.
- Local split-screen Co-op works using a custom split-screen tool. See below
- Installing the Windows Live application is mandatory to install the game but not necessary to run it. Installation can be avoided entirely, however, by renaming the installer in the root\redist folder to something else before first launch and using the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Unofficial Patch
- 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.
- New Steam version update removed DirectX 10 (although this has no impact on performance or graphical features[1]) and Nvidia 3D Vision support.[2] It also removed the Split-Screen code and introduced some minor bugs.[3]

- 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.

Issues fixed
Issues with Games for Windows - LIVE
- 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
andres = 1, err = 0x00000012
, are GFWL related and is possibly linked that there's no GFWL related data found.[8] Game should still work normally,[9][10] but as window requires manual closing it breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
Remove GFWL requirement[11] |
---|
Use Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Unofficial Patch.
|
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.
Use unofficial patch[citation needed] |
---|
Use unofficial fix[3] |
---|
Startup video mode errors
- Error messages caused by an unsupported video mode:
ERR09: Unsupported function
andmpSwapChain->REsizeTarget(&mdesc)
.
Edit the config.ini file[citation needed] |
---|
|
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] |
---|
|
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] |
