Essential improvements
Ambient occlusion mod
- This is a mod which adds AO. You have to disable AA to get it to work, but you can add SMAA in with ReShade. It doesn't work with cutscenes.
- Please note that AO can be very taxing on the framerate, and you may have to choose between AO and 60 FPS. If you choose AO due to the framerate hit, then change it to 30 FPS in the game's settings.
- For more information, see this.
To install, extract this to the game's Bin32 folder.
Open d3d9.ini with notepad, and change the four paths to where RE4 is located. Chances are, it should be:
- EffectSearchPaths=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil 4\Bin32\reshade-shaders\Shaders
- TextureSearchPaths=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil 4\Bin32\reshade-shaders\Textures
- PresetFiles=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil 4\Bin32\AO.ini
- ScreenshotPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil 4\Bin32
Resident Evil 4 HD Project
- Resident Evil 4 HD Project is a mod aiming to revise the textures of the game while fixing some of the environmental problems leftover in the game.
- Released July 13, 2018. A recent trailer with comparisons is here

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 QTE
- 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[9] |

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