Non-Steam versions

- The Mercenaries United was never made available for the PC version. However, this mode is a combination of "The Mercenaries" and "Mercenaries Reunion" mode (to play as Jill/Wesker for instance), but it's only based on "Mercenaries Reunion" (which means combos are more important than leftover time). You can use mods to play as any character you want in both modes.

Remapping
- When mapping a button which already is mapped to another function, a warning will show up, informing the player that the controls may not work properly. To solve this, just either unbind the other function or preferably just remap it to another unused button.

Issues fixed
Issues with Games for Windows - LIVE
- GFWL requirement removed from the Steam version in February 2023 update.[21]
- See Games for Windows - LIVE Issues fixed.
- As of Steamworks update, the game still requires the installation of GFWL components to allow users to import save data and achievements. Although it is not used with the main game.
- Launcher errors, such as
res = 1, err = 0x0000007e
andres = 1, err = 0x00000012
, are related to GFWL and it is possibly linked that there's no GFWL related data found.[22]
The game should still work normally.[23][24] But as it requires manual closing, this breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
