Key points

A controller is recommended.
Features 60 FPS support and some improved textures over previous versions. An unofficial texture project is also being developed to completely revise them.
Game speed is bound to frame-rate and has no frame skipping, with some animations not optimized for 60 FPS and can sometimes cause slow down.
Some players have reported mouse aiming to be problematic, possibly to the extent of being unplayable. See Mouse aiming problems to fix potentially this issue.
Positional audio is hit-or-miss; many sound effects are mono.[citation needed]

Essential improvements

Resident Evil 4 HD Texture Project

Although the mod is currently incomplete, a download is already available.

Resident Evil 4 HD Texture Project is a mod aiming to revise the textures of the game while fixing some of the environmental problems leftover in the game.

Instructions

Natural Gradient Mod

This mod is for those who dislike the default color filters. The in-game brightness options can also be raised to give the desired effect.

Instructions

Film Grain Removal Mod

Not compatible with the DualShock button mod.

This mod removes the film grain effect present in the game.

Field of view (FOV)

Even though Flawless Widescreen claims it supports Resident Evil 4, it does not currently work past patch 1.0.2 so use Cheat Engine instead.
Default FOV is 50° horizontal and 45° while aiming.

DualShock Button Prompts

This mod adds PlayStation buttons. Cannot be used alongside with the film grain removal mod. Original post here.
Even though game does support DirectInput and button rebinding, game will show wrong buttons mixed with generic button prompts with DualShock 4. Use of XInput wrapper is required.

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. This can potentially be improved by changing the aim mode to "Modern" and adjusting the sensitivity level.

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.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/254700/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (254700) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
