Key points

Features 60 FPS support and some improved textures over previous versions. An unofficial texture project is also being developed to completely revise them.

The game speed is bound to frame rate and has no frame skipping. With many animations being unoptimized for 1080p/60 FPS, they can sometimes cause slow motion.

For some players, mouse aiming may be problematic, possibly to the extent of being unplayable with a mouse. This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to "modern" and adjusting the sensitivity level. A controller is recommended.

Positional audio is hit-or-miss; many sound effects are mono.

• 3. GameCube/Wii color temperature with subtle contrast boost
• 4. Horror - makes warmer colors redder to give a more foreboding atmosphere.

Issues fixed

Random lag

If you're playing the game and it suddenly lags, load the map and exit.^{[citation needed]}

Can't pass QTE

For some QTEs, such as when Leon is hanging on a ledge in Chapter 4, mashing the button as fast as you can still doesn't pass the QTE and he falls off anyway. This is because of botched 60 FPS support, requiring QTEs to be mashed faster. 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 around 15 minutes of gameplay in Windows 8 or 10

If the game keeps crashing after 15 minutes (more or less).

Stop Windows Service "Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service".

1. Open Task Manager.
2. Go to Services.
3. Identify Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service (TabletInputService).
4. Stop the service.
5. Launch RE4.
