Essential improvements
The filter is disabled on the bottom.
Remove filter
- Only works with the DX9 executable.
- Decreasing the in-game brightness is recommended to compensate for the lack of filter, correct the black levels, and ensure complete global saturation.
- The filter doesn't remove the pink filter in the ending of Lost in Nightmares.
ENBSeries 1.3 - Extract all but 'effect' folder into root folder. Go into shaderinput folder and rename the file psh031923D9.txt to pshCBF350A4.txt.
- For an additional color boost, download this and extract it to the root folder. Replace all files with it. Brightness should be normal. Don't Alt+Tab ↹ on fullscreen mode or it will crash.
Laser Sights Mod
- Please refer to the enclosed README.txt when installing this mod.
This mod replaces the crosshair with laser sights when playing with the keyboard/mouse.[5]
Download (GFWL version)
Download (Steam version) (Tutorial here)
A simple patch that fixes for region lock, give weapon to AI, versus bugs etc. Extract all files and copy into the game's root folder.
Keep in mind that this patch corrupts game's compatibility with Windows XP. It also works via NT.DLL, which can corrupt game's compatibility with future versions of Windows, as Microsoft have stated that they will possibly be dropping NT.DLL support in the future.

Splitscreen Mod
This mod enables splitscreen coop in the GFWL version, which was left hidden in the code of the game. While it is only playable with gamepads, it is possible to use a keyboard via PPJoy.[6][7] This mod is also included in the versus mod mentioned below, making this mod obsolete.[8]
Splitscreen is impossible in the Steam version because the code was removed. However, there is a way to reverse back to the GFWL version by following this instruction.
Versus Mod
- Official support for Versus Mode is included with the Untold Stories Bundle DLC
This mod enables Versus Mode in the GFWL version, which also was left in the game's code.[9]
VR support
Issues fixed
- 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
and res = 1, err = 0x00000012
, are GFWL related and is possibly linked that there's no GFWL related data found.[11] Game should still work normally,[12][13] but as window requires manual closing it breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
Startup Video Mode Errors
Graphics Flicker in Fullscreen
