Issues unresolved

| Workaround[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Wait at the checkpoint for 2 to 3 minutes. |
Jake Mission 4-4 Co-op glitch
Some players may be dropped upon entering the level.
Chris Mission 4-4 Co-op glitch
After collecting the three passcodes, you enter a quicktime event; the co-op partner might not see the enemies needed to be shot.
| Workaround[6] |
|---|
|
Complete that section in single-player, and continue the game upon boarding the plane. |
Black screen on startup
Some players experience issues with getting a black screen when starting the game.
| Workaround |
|---|
|
Try waiting 5-10 minutes without interacting with the window and the game might load. Beware that changing graphical settings might cause the same issue and you'll have to wait a couple of minutes again |
Issues fixed
ERROR 08 - Out of video memory
Crash can happen during prelude, Chapter 2 beginning of Leon etc.
If the video memory is sufficient the issue can be fixed by using devreorder in conjunction with setting the game to windowed mode. Also disable Special-K Injection as otherwise, the game freezes after multiple controller un/pluggings (add "SpecialK.deny.BH6" empty file in main game folder).
| Install devreorder[citation needed] |
