Revision as of 20:39, 7 October 2021
Warnings
- For Games for Windows - LIVE on Windows 8 or later, install the latest Games for Windows - LIVE software.
Key points
- Active multiplayer community. Use the Unofficial Patch to be able to see servers and fix certain issues.
- Local split-screen Co-op works using a custom split-screen tool. See below
- Installing the Windows Live application is mandatory to install the game but not necessary to run it. Installation can be avoided entirely, however, by renaming the installer in the root\redist folder to something else before first launch and using the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Unofficial Patch
- Retail version owners can use the LIVE key to activate the Steamworks version. Also, the LIVE version is available to Steam version owners who miss the features removed during the transition to Steamworks or who use mods incompatible with the Steamworks version.
- New Steam version update removed DirectX 10 (although this has no impact on performance or graphical features[1]) and Nvidia 3D Vision support.[2] It also removed the Split-Screen code and introduced some minor bugs.[3]
General information
- Official website
- Official Capcom-Unity Forum
- Resident Evil Modding Forums
- Steam Community Discussions
Availability
- Steam version DRM switched from Games for Windows - LIVE and SecuROM to Steam.
- All non-Steam versions require Games for Windows - LIVE DRM.[Note 1]
- All retail product keys activate on Steam (Games for Windows Marketplace product keys do not work).[4]
DLC and expansion packs
- 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 score is more important than time). You can use mods to play as any character you want for both modes.
Essential improvements
Patches
- Based on the patch made by Maluc and updated by RICK to provide more fixes. Fixes the region lock and allows you to join/see any multiplayer server, gives weapon to AI, fixes versus bugs, etc.
Mods
Crosshair
- Crosshair can be replaced with laser sights when playing with keyboard and mouse.
Laser sights mods[citation needed]

Game data
In-game general settings.
Configuration file(s) location
Save game data location
- When trying to move/backup save games in the GFWL version, including the folder

Video
Post-processing
- 3D Vision Fix adds hotkeys to toggle color filter, depth of field in cutscenes, HDR/bloom level, HUD, and disable heat waves and lens flares.
Color filter
- Disabling the color filter will make the game look more colorful, but sometimes more washed out in dark chapters.
Use ENBSeries[5]
|
- Download ENBSeries 1.3.
- Extract all but
effect folder into the installation folder.
- Go into
shaderinput .
- Rename
psh031923D9.txt to pshCBF350A4.txt .
Notes
- Only works with the DX9 executable.
- Decreasing the in-game brightness is recommended to compensate for the lack of filter.
- Doesn't remove the pink filter in the ending of Lost in Nightmares.
- For an additional color boost, download this and extract it to the installation folder. Replace all files with it. Brightness should be normal. Don't Alt+Tab ↹ on fullscreen mode or it will crash.
|
Input
In-game keyboard/mouse settings.
In-game gamepad settings.
- 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.
Modify config file[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file location.
- Open
Config.ini and find the [JOYPAD] section
- Edit the button numbers as desired.
- Example for DualShock 4:
[JOYPAD]
ProductName=Wireless Controller
A=1
B=2
X=0
Y=3
LEFT=POV
RIGHT=POV
UP=POV
DOWN=POV
START=9
BACK=8
LT=4
LB=6
RT=5
RB=7
LSTICK_PUSH=10
LSTICK_VERT=Y
LSTICK_HORZ=X
RSTICK_PUSH=11
RSTICK_VERT=RZ
RSTICK_HORZ=Z
Notes
- Controller button numbers can be found by opening Set up USB game controllers (accessed by ⊞ Win+R and
joy.cpl ), clicking properties, and then switching to the Test tab. Actual button number is -1 from shown, e.g. if button 1 lights up, it's button 0.
|
- original and DualShock 3 variants available for both Steam and GFWL versions of the game.

Split screen mode
- This application enables split-screen coop in any version. While it is only playable with gamepads, it is possible to use a keyboard via PPJoy.
- A video tutorial is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFFq8ECXHhM
https://github.com/ZeroFox5866/nucleuscoop/releases/tag/v1.0.2
Download it, run it and download the RE5 script, choose a split mode using the interface, then click > followed by PLAY at the top right.
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.[7]
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.[8] Game should still work normally,[9][10] but as window requires manual closing it breaks full controller compatibility and may get irritating.
Remove GFWL requirement[11]
|
Use Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Unofficial Patch.
- In combination with this patch, it is possible to prevent the GFWL software from being installed on the game's first run by deleting the
"Run Process" key (and its children) in the BH5AE_install.vdf file in the game folder prior to running the game for the first time. This will disable importing GFWL saves (the relevant menu option will be grayed out.)[12]
|
Majini with a key card gets stuck
- In chapter 6–1, sometimes the Majini with a key card can't jump down after spawning and you can't kill him to get a key card.
Startup video mode errors
- Error messages caused by an unsupported video mode:
ERR09: Unsupported function
and mpSwapChain->REsizeTarget(&mdesc)
.
Edit the config.ini file[citation needed]
|
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\CAPCOM\RESIDENT EVIL 5\config.ini
- Look for Resolution and RefreshRate and change to a known good setting (e.g. 640x480, or disable FullScreen).
- Save your changes.
|
Issues with ultrawide resolutions (21:9)
- Error message
ERR09: Unsupported function
caused by aspect ratio containing decimal number. For example 3440x1440 is 21.5:9.
Add custom resolution[citation needed]
|
- Use CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) or Nvidia Control Panel to add following custom resolution for:
• 2560x1080 → 2520x1440 • 3440x1440 → 3360x1440
- Apply in game.
|
Graphics flicker in fullscreen
- This flickering can occur on modern graphics cards and drivers, popping up as frequently as several minutes or as infrequently as every couple hours.
Use SweetFX Shader Suite[citation needed]
|
- Download SweetFX Shader Suite
- Unpack to the installation folder.
- While playing, Alt+Tab ↹ to switch back to your desktop or another window.
- Switch back to the game. The flickering will not occur again.
Notes
- The game will retain all its original visuals, and performance will not be significantly impacted.
