A: Try installing the prerequisite in the Download tab and attempt launching your game again. If this does not work, try removing the dinput8.dll and plugins folder.

Greetings devs! wishing you good health. Just stopped by to know if you guys have managed to fix the control scheme I've requested earlier, so that it feels exactly like RE4 HD. Like :
- Turning with A,D instead of Strafing.
- Mouse camera only (not locked to character head) + Mouse Aim + Laser

*(Optional if possible)
- Opening Inventory Pauses the game Or Slows down the gameplay but browsing inventory remains normal.

Thanks again for this fantastic life savor mod!

@BobboilDandee Whether you own the DLC or not ("gold edition"), it is still the same game version and all mods are compatible.

The only exception is if you intentionally input a "beta" code to get the 2009 version.
It should work, but read the warning in the guide description
BobboilDandee 22 Oct @ 2:28pm 
I'm confused, does this work for Gold edition players too? We already don't have GamesForWindowsLive anymore. Will the patch still work for us?
eXost 12 Oct @ 3:57am 
Thank you, it works!

Coming back years later now since I see changes have been made to just quickly ask, can the game finally be played with unlocked FPS now or are there still some bugs related to that and no fix was found? Years ago I told you about some enemies that get stuck in some areas and can't spawn properly and we found that is was related to FPS for some reason, not the infamous enemy that drops a key or whatever, that was fixed years ago, I just mean some regular enemies here and there getting stuck on 120FPS and above. So has this been fixed or not? Hope my mess of a comment makes sense! xDDD

@RawAustin, sounds like your in-game setting for the game language is set to Dutch. To fix this, simply go into game setting and change the language.
RawAustin 3 Oct @ 9:11am 
Having a really weird issue, not sure where to start investigating the actual cause. After copying the files over and launching the game, all the text is in English (as it should be), but after hitting "Start", the text language switches to Dutch for some reason.

By the way would be possible to add bordeless windowed or maybe merge FusionFix with the new patch?
Anthony  [author] 19 Sep @ 3:44pm 
@Heraldo Xavier Yeah, that feature will only check the files it expects to be there, so anything extra is left alone.
If you want a clean installation, a rule of thumb is to delete all files manually and then verifying (or uninstalling + deleting leftovers).
Usually only much older games will store save files in the same place as the core game files, otherwise it's usually safe to do provided you can restore any other mods you may have had installed
Heraldo Xavier 19 Sep @ 12:13pm 
Alright, thank you! I did verify the files before installing the patch but it didn't remove it, going to remove it
